==Hugtopi & Cuddlesquids==
Hugtopi are unusually affectionate species of mollusc that will seize wandering divers and cuddle them until they break free or are rendered unconcious by lack of breathable air upon which point they'll be returned to the surface. They use these lovable traits as "piggyback-evolution", in order to gain the protection of a more dominant species, ensuring their survival. The more lovable the traits, the better.

Cuddlesquids are faux Hugtopi who leach off the latter's well earned reputation by using it to hunt. They will find a Kemomimi that has been separated from the group and one of their number will swim up and proceed to hug the doomed diver. They will slowly begin to lure them farther away from the main group and, once a suitable distance has been reached, will clamp down onto the victims flesh and emit pheromones atraccting the rest of the pack, who will then tear the Kemomimi to shreds. Luckily, many veteran hunters can quite easily spot the difference between Hugtopi and Cuddlesquids, so they mainly hunt other aquatic life.
