Ancestor:Descendants:

The amphibious droopgea split from its ancestor, the marine droopgea and has begun to move out of the water. Like its ancestor it grows many photosynthetic tentacle-like branches. These can slowly curl up when herbivores try to eat them. They asexually bud off these branches as well. In order to survive on land the amphibious droopgea has become slightly smaller and has developed a porous internal shell of wood that provides support to the main body but not the limbs.
