Description
Zhang et al. (2015) provided details about the shell and about the radula.[1]
gollark: Much more power-efficient.
gollark: I don't actually have a "heart", I replaced it with nanoscale bees.
gollark: Yes, any intruders would just be orbital-lased.
gollark: I didn't actually have the sound up enough to notice anything, myself.
gollark: Do hearts have opinions, though? I don't think they have enough neural stuff in them for complex cognition.
