Fliptails - small, hard-skinned animals related to the bellclaws and spiderclaws, fliptails have a curved body that they spring straight in order to rapidly escape predators. Found in both fresh and salt water, they are an important food source for many creatures and can be eaten by humans once cooked and shelled. They are often found in huge numbers and may be caught using fine nets.
