The Spapig is a filter-feeder, primarily living on the massive shoals of By-est, which fill the summer seas. The Spapig vacuums the By-est up with its massive prehensile proboscis.
The Spapig migrates between northern and southern hemisphere, following the blooms of these shoals. It swims swiftly with six large paddles and three broadly-finned tails.
Occasionally breeding pairs of Spapig are spotted. A pair may swim together for up to half the Shuttleworth year, but most of the time the Spapig is solitary.
Tradition on Shuttleworth has it that seeing a Spapig during winter is an omen of good luck.
