Taxonomy Tournament: Gastropods

Strombidae. This family is made up of true conches, which have long eye-stalks and move in a leaping motion, and are used by humans as food, or their shells for decoration.

Conidae. This family is made up of cone snails, which hunt prey by launching their tooth from their mouth like a harpoon and injecting them with venom.

a terrestrial cone snail suggested by @guiron

A surprising apex predator of the flooded grasslands, i imagine their main weapon is the potency of the venom in their oversized harpoon
