One advantage the Skipper Skittler's has is its method of reproduction. Unlike many species, Skipper Skittler's have two distinct sexes, the Spitter and the Swallower.
When two Skipper Skittler waddle on each other, their mouth meat and a few specialized tactile cell triggers. This ensue that Skipper Skittlers does not canibalize each other, split upon incompatibility, or mate when they can.
Mouth against mouth, the spitter release a few big, moist gametes, that the swallower fertilize. Held in a crude pouch for 32 local days, or 16 Terrans, until they grow enough to burst through the poach and waddle their merry way into almost certain death.
These newborns Skipper Skittlers are a fifth the size of their parents and most don't survive the 21 terran day it takes to grow and reproduce on their own.
A handful do, and this continues the species. There are a couple of problems with the Flounder Feeder’s method of reproduction. First is the low occurence of meeting, only happening by sheer luck.
Second is due to the crude pouch’s location at the roof of the swallower's mouth, it is occasionally ruptured too early by the flesh of a Spin catcher getting consumed.
Even with its problems, the Skipper Skittler's method of reproduction works and isn’t an urgent issue. All in all, the Skipper Skittler suffers a miserable existence but is not burdened with a consciousness that can understand it.
