Hypostome
A hypostome, is a calcified harpoon-like structure near the mouth area of certain parasitic arthropods including ticks and mites, that allows them to anchor themselves firmly in place on a host mammal while sucking blood. This mechanism is normally so strong that removal of a lodged tick requires two actions: One to remove the tick, and one to remove the remaining head section of the tick. The apical portion of the polyps of hydrozoan cnidarians like Hydra is referred to as a hypostome. The term hypostome also refers to the ventral plate of trilobites and other arthropods.
