Geordie (tentatively *Salpapod geordie*). A jet-propelled omnivore evolved from an organism resembling a bony octopus. 1. Rasping jaw The geordie's hard mouthparts can brush algae off rocks, crush small crustaceans, pull plugs out of coral and cut wads of kelp. 2. Four fins Perhaps evolved from bony legs, they steer the geordie and host its four stomach pouches. 3. Diverticular stomachs Each fin-leg holds a digestive pouch with bacteria specialized to portions of the geordie's diverse diet. Swimming motion helps stir and digest food. 4. Central jet The central channel is lined with stinging cells, which kill small seaborne fauna. Do not insert fingers. Muscular pulses propel the geordie by jet action. 5. Donut-shaped 'spinal' braid The geordie’s nerve braid is wrapped around the jet channel like a donut. Toroidal brain structures may have interesting downstream consequences in larger organisms. Assessment: edible, though heavily loaded with metals and waxes. Advise thorough fabricator cook.
