Alexandium fundyense
Red tides? Neuromuscular toxins? Now this is a species. Maybe not the healthiest for mankind but its potential for use against our enemies, especially the dreaded shellfish. Not only are they awesome in their own right but they owe us. Due to our diligent sweep of the sea for all comestible life, their numbers have expanded and their beautiful blooms can be seen like blood off the coast of New England. We share a lot with these little fellas and I say we fortify that bond. Now, ideally, we would use our sciences to make their saxitoxin useless against mankind but that might limit our ability to use them against our enemies. Either way it's a win though and I am left highly satisfied.
Not much taste and plankton are not suited well for hat making but their potential for conquest clearly puts them over the top.
I judge them: Worthy of Existence (unless they begin to invade our shores in which case we must destroy them with fire)
