Accordiaulus, more commonly called bellowshells, somewhat resemble nautiloid mollusks in shape and coloration: they are pony-sized invertebrates with cream-colored skin and shells accented with rust stripes that densen farther up. They have sideways pear-shaped bodies ending in rings of cirri around a fanged, radial mouth and supported by two pairs of crablike legs placed just below several large, dark eyes. The large, spiraled shell is split into overlapping arch-like sections held together with elastic flesh, allowing it to expand greatly but remain sturdy while uninflated. They are opportunistic omnivores, able to break down almost any organic material in their crops over several days, but most often hunt by quickly drawing gallons of seawater into their shells to suck up whole schools of fish. When faced with larger adversaries, they may choose to escape by expelling water through a pair of horn-shaped ventral jets, though typically not before attempting to snatch a chunk of flesh. |
