A Clambo is a species of aquatic giant clam found around the Kong Island archipelago. They have large eyes for spotting potential foes, which they then use their muscle, adapted into a powerful tongue shape, to toss pearls; despite this they seem incapable of actually aiming their projectiles. Like most clams, they are sessile and unable to move from the seafloor. Depending on the individual, they may spit anywhere between one and five pearls at their foes.
They are closely related to the much larger Colossal Clambos, which are more like scallops in that they are completely capable of swimming around.
Being clams, it can naturally be assumed that they are filter feeders.
