Stratovermes Microplaque

The stratovermes microplaque has replaced its ancestor the microplaque in the troposphere, and lives only inside the atmospheric sagavermes that lives there. Like its ancestor, it's growing into large colonies covering the surface of the teeth and gum's in a clear "bio film". It eats not only the left over food materials in the mouth but will absorb the chitin of the teeth themselves, and with it building small spikes to help hold on to the teeth themselves, and other stratovermes microplaque around it. This can lead to gum disease and tooth decay in its host.
