Burraroms

The burrarom genus group replaced its ancestor the burrarom, as well as its relative the hyperphallic burrarom. They are all marine 'worms' that dwell within the seabed. They possess nose-like reproductive structures from which they release clouds of spores into the surrounding waters. Asexual creatures, they require no mate and can produce thousands upon thousands of offspring throughout their lives. Said offspring are free-swimming planktonic organisms that bear a resemblance to their kerrarom ancestors.

Burraroms are opportunistic feeders, sucking down whatever food particles that float by. This includes various species of plankton as well as detritus. To aid them in this task they possess a pair of sensory tentacles which taste the water and tell them when food comes by. When they do, they will exit their burrows and begin to filter-feed, retreating only when they sense danger via vibrations in the water.

At the tips of their tails are spade-like extension which are used for burrowing. Once a burrow has been established, they secure it by secreting a mucous from glands located along the sides of their heads. This mucous helps to cement the walls and prevent the burrow from collapsing in upon itself, as well as keep some smaller organisms out. All of this motion within the mud/sand/etc... has the unintentional side effect of aerating it, allowing for other organisms to settle where they otherwise could not.
