Dirtsident

The dirtsident split from its ancestor and lost its nitrogen chamber and no longer floats. It now lives in pieces of dirt in the air around Wright. It has two main forms, spore dormant and a swimming organism that lives inside other creatures. It is spread through the air stuck in pieces of dirt in its spore form. In that form it has extremely low metabolism. When it is breath by fauna it enters their breathing system and sometimes through it enters their blood or dig its way through their cells. It then lives a parasitic life style mainly in the areas around the breathing organs feeding on other cells by releasing acids from special acid sac organelles, that evolved from its ancestor’s nitrogen chambers, it develops when it is released from the spore. It mostly causes slight breathing problems and in rare cases can cause damages that will eventually lead to the destruction of one of the breathing organs and to the creature’s death. If it is spread via the blood it can sometimes end up in other organs and damage these as well though this is rare as it is mainly adapted to the breathing system.
