Crawling Stumpworm

The Crawling Stumpworm evolved from the Four-Eyed Stumpworm. Both its eyes and its pseudo-mandibles have advanced greatly. Its eyes can now see color and detail, and its pseudo-mandibles have become a set of true mandibles, which it uses to eat its new primary food source, the Beach Puffs. In addition to these developments, the Crawling Stumpworm has also evolved eight small legs. These legs are not yet strong enough to lift its body. Instead, the creature uses them to drag itself through the sands of the beaches where it lives. While the Beach Puffs are not blooming, the Crawling Stumpworm will dig a burrow in the sand, where it will hibernate until its food source returns. This behavior occasionally puts it at risk of infection by Testudohexapodia Acta or Testudohexapodia Spherus (Beach Puff) microbes.
