Attacked myxine pour out of 150 pores 5g (0.18 ounces) of dry fibers that with hydratation puff out faster than any other known substance to give 20 liters (5.3 US gallons 4.4 UK gallons) of a strong viscous substance
"As unique trait, hagfish can use a knot to pull themselves out the places where they feed." in http://encyclopedia.laborlawtalk.com/Myxiniformes
If a Hagfish wishes to disengage from its current prey, they form a knot with their body and slide it towards the mouth. The knot provides something to press against in order to pull the mouth off. This is a unique trait. in http://www.allaboutall.info/article/Hagfish
Spiders : ( yes I know! not really knot but nets thought!)
