Cephalaspis was a prehistoric fish from the "Silurian" (Which had the time set for the early Devonian) period. It was an easy prey for the predators and super predators of its time, like the sea scorpions or even the Giant Orthocone.
Description[]
Walking with Monsters[]
Cephalaspis appeared in the first episode of Walking with Monsters. It was shown as a constant prey for the Brontoscorpio, a prehistoric sea scorpion. However, they are also shown as the most intelligent creatures from the Silurian period and they were probably the first beings to have memory, in addition to having sensors that detected the danger. All those characteristics gave them advantages over their predators. Leading one Brontoscorpio individual to be eaten by the giant eurypterid Pterygotus.
Cephalaspis is shown evolving into Hynerpeton, but that process of evolution isn't utterly correct.
Trivia[]
- Another jawless fish that lived in the Ordovician period was Astraspis. This one wasn't shown in Walking with Monsters, but it appeared in Sea Monsters: A Walking with Dinosaurs Trilogy as bait for Megalograptus.
