What happened to its tail / “stinger” ? It looks bobbed like a dog’s tail…

The barb may have come off in a previous attack. They grow back after a while.
Short tail is kind of a misnomer. They are still pretty long and with sharp barbs on the end.
As it glides over the skeletons of the previous divers who dared to film.

It looks “bobbed”, like a boxer dogs tail.
