The Sword-Swallowing Turg-Jitter is the more mammal-like of all the Turg-Jitter, thought like the rest of them it does lay eggs, it also is able to nourish its young with a milk-like substance, filled with minerals and fat, that it "sweats" from the large pores on its stomach, much like the platypus does, a distant relative of the Turg-jitters.

The Sword-Swallowing turg-jitter is named such because it's tongue is surprisingly sword-like, hard as metal and sharp as a knife. It uses this amazing evolutionary trait to spear its pray with lightning speed, and then bring it to its mouth. Its main pray is fish, and like most turg-jitters it prefers not to swim, so a skill like that is mighty useful.

Its mating cry is very similar to the Muckdancing turg-jitter, thought being the rarer of the two it is much mare likely the hear the last the Sword-swallowing. It also has the turg-jitter's characteristic plump sound-forming lips, and hairless feet, much like a geckos, so it can stand and keep its balance on most surfaces, like the slime covered rocks that surround ponds, its main domain. It cannot, however, run on water. It is a feat that only the Muckdancing turg-jitter can do.

The Muckdancing Turg-Jitter

Note the noble posture, the wide-spread, muscled legs for dancing the muck and climbing children (also: furrless foot for stepping into mud on occasion, when not walking on top of it); keen ears for identifying voices and calls; the big, inflating chest or throat for producing sufficiently manly and loud mating calls for such a small creature; and, of course, the thick and flexible lips for the precise shaping of its voice.

(The next two Turg-Jitters aren't in the contest; they are just my own additions. )

This is the Sapsucking Turg-Jitter.

This little fella can scamper up almost any surface. Between their scaley feet and hands, and the stiff sharp prongs sticking out of their elbow and knee joints (called "wickets"), they can cling to the slipperiest or gooeiest of things and use their long probuscus to reach the sap or other sweet nectars they crave. And if their wickets get a bit sticky, well their wicked googly little eyes never shed any tears over it.
They have the most beautiful singing voices of all the Turg-Jitters, and if one were ever to hear their mating calls, the onrush of sentimentality and melancholy would be near overwhelming. Unfortunately, you never will hear such calls, for the Sapsuckers are SOOO gluttonous, they will not stop eating, even when sleeping or searching for a mate. Thus their mouths are usully so sticky with sap, they cannot form the right notes to attract the opposite sex.

Go fig... Scorpions HATE Moss Mincers.
And by extension, so do humans. You thought the little stingers were ticked off before! If you hear more than one Moss Mincer singing in your camp, you can bet the noise has attracted a swarm of stinging biting insects charging into the area to get their revenge. They wont, of course- - the Mincers are just too quick. But that leaves numerous legless poisonous critters just lying around desperate to sting something...
