Leverhulmia is an extinct genus of arthropod, known from a single partial specimen with preserved gut contents, found in the Windyfield (Rhynie) chert.
This animal was introduced or mentioned in The Last Stormtroopers, Historya Davvun, Seven Code Talkers, No Way to Seaway, Weather Dragons, Project Daejeon, Two Lights, Worldcraft, Equation, and Rescris as part of Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure, Monster Hunter series, and Assassin's Creed series sequels.Β
Physical Appearances
Physical Appearances
Leverhulmia is an arthropod that is about 1.2 cm (0.47 in) long, with an unknown number of segments, and at least five pairs of uniramous limbs that are divided into six podomeres. Although a place in Diplopoda or as a relative of Kampecaris was speculated, the skull was not preserved, hence it could not be definitively placed into or excluded from any group within Myriapoda. As a result, Myriapoda incertae sedis was assigned to it. Following the discovery of thoracic leg segments that imply the type specimen is part of the abdomen, a subsequent publication proposes that it was actually a hexapod, more precisely a relative of Zygentoma or Archaeognatha. It is difficult to understand, but unlike Rhyniognatha and Strudiella, its classification as an insect is not currently in doubt.

Ecology
Leverhulmia appears to have been a detritivore, making it the earliest known example of such based on the preserved gut contents that contain plant tissue and spores from fungi and plants.
