Uronychia ciliate! Love this guy. They are huuuge (for ciliates). I've had a big bloom phase of them in a mini-tank that I threw a bunch of fish food in to see what grew. They covered the glass. They can get so large they were basically naked eye visible.
They have small cilia for normal motion, then they have the set of cilia in the back fused into a super-cilia jet-pack.
