The first species to go were actually its closest relatives, the purple flora. Their slow growth and cellulose was weak against the acid. Thus the following purple flora went extinct first on Truteal island; [[Polar Quilbil|polar quilbil]], and [[Segmented Carnofern|segmented carnofern]]. Next were the crystal flora and glass flora. Their chitin outer coating should have helped, but their roots were fungi-like and just as weak against the acidic soil as the purple flora was. Thus the following crystal and glass flora went extinct on Truteal island; [[poolalgae]], [[Glass Colony|glass colony]], [[cryobowl]], [[Fruiting Cryobowl|fruiting cryobowl]], [[Box Cryobowl|box cryobowl]], [[Fat Korystal|fat korystal]], [[Cryobowl|carnivorous cryobowl]], [[dome Crystal|dome crystal]], and [[capseed]]. |

Lastly it was a big struggle against the stickyball relatives. While they were indeed purple flora too, they had one advantage, their high reproductive rate. But sadly they could not grow enough with the depleted amount of nitrogen in the soil. |
Lastly it was a big struggle against the stickyball relatives. While they were indeed purple flora too, they had one advantage, their high reproductive rate. But sadly they could not grow enough with the depleted amount of nitrogen in the soil. Even the poison and toxic varieties hung on for awhile until they were eventually wiped out. Thus the following stickyball flora went extinct on Truteal island; [[Spotted Hydroglobe|spotted hydroglobe]], [[Molted Hydroglobe|molted hydroglobe]], [[volvoglobe]], [[stalkglobe]], [[bogaglobe]], [[Ringed Terraglobe|ringed terraglobe]], [[Double-Banded Toxiglobe|bouble-banded toxiglobe]], [[saltglobe]], [[boball]], and [[Fruiting Glog|fruiting glog]]. |

Now you ask if the soil was so acidic how could the acidfruit megaplage survive? Well for the most part even with it developing thicker roots it would actually dissolve itself in the process. Its solution was to grow above the soil. Most of its roots grow outside the soil and allow the [[nixus]] to get airborne nitrogen directly from the air. Also during the winter the acid is not washed away due to the frozen soil. Thus it must time its fruit to the warmer summer rains in order to keep it from killing itself off too much. |
