X

X a small, troglobite, Australian arachnid. Often mistaken for a spider, X schizomid — a small, soil-dwelling invertebrate that walks on six legs and uses two modified front legs as feelers. It uses large fang-like pedipalps, or pincers, to grasp invertebrate prey and crunch it into pieces before sucking out the juices.


X was named after a fictional character and its author because of its peculiar eating habits.
Name the character and author.( again no point googling as its been directly lifted from wiki)
