Stalagmite Clinger

The Stalagmite Clinger is a split from the Wedge-Skull Lizardworm. When the Volcano Nobit appeared, some Wedge-Skulls began developing the odd habit of actually hanging onto Stalagmites near clusters of Caveberries, simply waiting lazily for their prey to come to it. This led to their skin developing a much darker tint, as apposed to their ancestor's bright orange, and eventually, the Stalamite Clinger became a species all its own. The Stalagmite Clinger's eyesight has again gotten better, so it could see more easily in the dark caves. Its sense of smell has also gotten better, allowing it to detect when its prey is coming by, so it may get ready (stop moving, climbing up the Stalagmite, etc.) The Stalagmite Clinger has also begun to birth its young live, because they have unusually short life-spans, only lasting about ten years each. About once in every 3-4 months, they will have a brood of young, which will be left alone to fend for themselves. The parent Clinger feels no love for them, and if food is scarce, it will have no qualms with tracking them down to eat them herself. It will also eat the Caveberry's leaves, but not its fruit, for fear of keeping away its prey item, the Volcano Nobit.
