Banevermins are the only organism that presently feeds on the krakow cellulosebane. Due to this, they are important in curbing the krakow cellulosebane's numbers and spread into other environments. Banevermins do not eat the entirety of the krakow cellulosebane. They feed only on the fungal inside, which is squishier and easier to digest than the chitinous outside. To access the fungal part, a banevermin uses its horn like a lever to tip over the plant. The horn is made of agglutinated hair, and is similar to the horn of a rhinoceros.

As banevermins are a meter long and krakow cellulosebanes only 30 cm tall and not especially nutritious, banevermins need to eat many krakow cellulosebanes to satisfy their hunger. Since their ancestor's only predator, the needlewing, no longer lives in the Krakow Tundra, much more larvae survive to adulthood. As a consequence, there are great herds of banevermins, which must regularly migrate to satiate their enormous collective hunger.
