Lancetail

''The lancetails are a group of very small terrestrial tentaculopods which have a rough similarity to horseshoe crabs and live mostly on trees. Their sclerites are fused into one unit, leaving only the elongated last segment free, which plays a major role in turning over, should the animal land on its back. Some species will also use it to defend itself from predators by raising it and waving it from side to side; in those species the tip of the last segment is often hollow and possesses poison glands. Their leg tentacles are short and stubby, with the exception of the frontmost legs, which bear a large, bifurcated claw as a climbing aid and abbitional tool to process food. The lancetails are nearly blind, relying ontouch and smell provided by theit four sensory tendrils. Their main food source are small vermiphytes and stonemoss, as well as small "worms" and detritus. Lancetails mate through spermatophores, though in most species the partners meet before it is deposited.''

Fuzzbug: This form is very common in tropical environments. The "hair" is primarily a defense against parasitic micropneumonopteres, secondarily it also serves as a defense against larger predators or as a camouflage in "blooming" stonemoss.

Horned lancetail: These usually bigger lancetails grow spines on their carapace as an additional defense against larger predators with some more aberrant forms that use the growths for camouflage.

Flipdome: This group of lancetails is among the smallest and easily recognized by the form and the last segment, which is carried underneath the body. Should the animal feel threatened, it will flip it outwards, causing it to catapult away in a similar fashion to Earth's springtails. The group consists exclusively of dround dwellers that feed on dead plant matter and carrion.

Littercrab: This flattened group adapted to subterranean life, where it feeds on detritus, roots and small "worms". The last segment is short and used for pushing the animal forward.
