Temperate Hollowdome

The temperate hollowdome split from their ancestor and spread to the temperate beaches throughout Dixon. They are doubled in size of their ancestors. Like their ancestors, they have a hollow core which they fill with nutrients to store for the harder times. The outer chitin lenses trap heat, making it much warmer inside than the air outside the dome. This causes water to condense in the lenses, allowing them to collect it for storage. They need very little nutrients to grow. They also grow sparsely in West Wind Polar Beach but do better in more temperate climates.
