While some Emperor Psittacrushes took to the sea floor, others took advantage of the abundance of food swimming around. The knightfish evolved a rather odd form of incapacitating prey, by ramming it into rocks using a set of horn-like protrusions from the skull. As they live in schools of multiple individuals, they take turns, impaling a prey item, before they ravenously eat the remains. These horns can also be used defensively, to ward off threats to a school of knightfish by attacking a predator as if it was a prey item.
