Description
With such gracile and serpentine movements held aloft by a bundle of thin, translucent legs, you'd be easily forgiven for assuming the Dralooma was hovering above the water.

A resident of tropical lagoons, Draloomas spend most of their day submerged under the shallows, filtering food that passes by through the water column. Once they deplete their locale of food, they leave the water and venture onto land to look for new territories.

Travelling Draloomas may often stumble upon a new territory that is already inhabited by another Dralooma. To compete with each other, both Draloomas will engage in a spectacular dance-off. They center their vision onto a large bubble they create with their mouthparts, and follow it while twisting, rolling, and twirling their bodies around it in hypnotic fashion. The victor is determined by stamina, and claims the territory.

Despite their huge appearance, Draloomas are very careful and gentle around others. For some reason, they seem to enjoy dancing around humans - almost as if they want them to be entertained.
