Qural

The qural is the result of conjugation between the sea cural and deep seacural eggs. The resulting organism was able to exchange genetic material by releasing gametes which seek out other cells. Over time, the resulting hybrids had greater reproductive success than both of their ancestors, slowly pushing them out until they were ultimately replaced. The two gametes meet together and fuse into a zygote, which grows into an egg that will drift until it finds a suitable resting ground. The qural sequesters iron in their vase-like body, which they use to as both structural support and to protect against most predators. They feed on the marine snow that drifts in the ocean.
