DESCRIPTION

16       Wiggly squid or jellyfish with many tentacles.  A muscular hydrostat is
17       a biological structure used to move its host about, consisting of  mus‐
18       cles with no skeletal support. It performs its hydraulic movement with‐
19       out fluid in a separate compartment, as in a hydrostatic skeleton.
