Microplaques

The microplaques genus groups replaced their ancestors sagavermes microplaque, polar crystalplaque, spiky plentplaque, marine carpoplaque, woodchippy and other microplaque relatives. Like their ancestors they grow into large colonies that cover the surface of the teeth and gums in a clear "biofilm". It eats not only the left over food materials in the mouth but will absorb the teeth themselves. This varies from species to species such as calcium in capozoa species, chitin in sagaverm species and even cellulose in plent species. This can lead to gum disease and tooth decay in its host. In addition they also have been known to grow on flora such as the photosynthetic chitin of crystal flora or the cellulose bark of purple flora. This biofilm is passed back and forth when herbivores drool and infect flora or biting off infected flora. Overall they are a simple spherical design sometimes with thicker cells, sometimes with spines, but over all they are mainly adapted to feed on whatever type of species is their host. There have even been species who have adapted to live in the mouths of iron fauna or the bark of iron flora. However these colonies do not thrive as much as those with more digestible hosts since they cannot metabolize iron.
