Gec Gigarystal

The gec gigarystal is, as it's name suggests, a divergent population of wave gigarystal that have made their way to the Gec waterway. They can be found not only in the waterways of Gec, but in the surrounding alpine rainforests, living short lives in pools of water collecting from snow meltoffs and rain. Speculation into how they arrived in Gec point to these sporadic populations, as the rapid life cycle and wide dispersion of spores of their ancestors point towards puddle hopping. They are rather much like their founding ancestors, though the Gec offshoot appear to have shrunk further. Their dark coloration has spread, and these crystalflora now appear a deep crimson. Like their ancestor they grow extremely fast, expelling spores off their sides monthly. Individuals take 3-5 days to grow and live for 5 years, though those that are not along the Gec River proper tend to die rather quickly.
