Shiggles has thick legs and big paws. He has retractable claws and webbed feet, and when paired with his tail, these make him an excellent swimmer. He has gills but can breathe on land for a short amount of time before he dries up. He has an overbite, sharp and serrated teeth, a forked tongue, and another mouth on his neck. Also, he has a primordial pouch like most cats for protection.

Habitat

Shiggles lives in tropical warm oceans. He can be found in depths between 10 to 1,100 feet. He only enters bodies of saltwater, but he may be seen where freshwater runoff occurs for the range of fauna.

Diet

He is a scavenger and an omnivore who can eat the prey of a big cat on land and of a shark in water. Fortunately, terrestrial predators are intimidated by him so he doesn't have to exert the small amount of energy he has out of water. He has a very good sense of smell, being able to sense blood from about a quarter of a mile away. His diet ranges from coconuts and mangos to crabs, turtles, seabirds, fish, crustaceans, molluscs, marine mammals... really just about anything. He is able to break through the hard exteriors of these fruits and animals thanks to his powerful jaws. Additionally, the mouth on his neck filters (spits) out food waste.
