Krykko

Krykko are the next stage of evolution for cryosagania living in the Dixon Temperate Rainforest, and they have successfully replaced their ancestors, which were outcompeted by the krykko and predated into extinction by the crowned octumoebium, which also evolved around the same time. They continue to be cryophilic, but are somewhat less so, allowing them to survive easier in the temperate climate of the rainforest.

It is photosynthetic like its ancestor, using blue-green chloroplasts to enact its lifestyle. However, floral life in Dixon grow close together, albeit short. Because of this, the krykko evolved to use their flagella to move even better than their ancestors. To do this, the ends of its flagella are somewhat sticky, allowing them to anchor to a location. It uses this to move along floral life as if on a set of legs, although far more primitive. When needing to move very quickly however as opposed to precisely (such as during an escape from a predator), it may instead swim across a surface by using its flagella in a typical manner.

Like its ancestor, when reproducing via binary fission it will split on the boom of the last one, making cone like chains. During the course of its life, it will get bigger and bigger, eventually dying off in the end. They also sometimes will break apart, which is how new cone chains are formed.
