Ancestor:Descendants:

The barniballs replaced the stickyglobes in the atmosphere. Like its distant ancestor, the stickyballs its balls stick to fauna and flora. Except this time it is that of ones in the atmosphere. They mainly stick to the various sky plents but have been known to stick to other hydrogen flora and even some skyskimmers. They start off as tiny sticky spores and grow bigger and bigger until they have collected enough moisture form the air to make hydrogen and float off. One in the air they are eaten by sky plents. But some are missed and they stick to the bellies of their sky plent hosts. Once they spawn their spore asexually and the cycle continues.
