A mob concept for my PaleoCraft mod: www.minecraftforum.net/forums/…

Originating in the Cambrian, Anomalocaris was by far the largest and most powerful predator of its time. Growing up to 2 meters in length, Anomalocaris is capable of swimming surprisingly quick thanks to the undulating row of fins on either side of its body. When hunting, it uses the two spiked tentacles in front of its mouth to dig through the sand and grab prey, which is then crushed. The twin stripes running down its back indicate sexual maturity, and are more distinct on males. It's believed that Anomalocaris may have been one of the first animals to use distinct visual communication like this, as most other creatures during the Cambrian had simple eyes and poor eyesight; Anomalocaris, on the other hand, had complex eyes that gave it excellent vision.
