The '''beach sulfamoeba''' split from its ancestor. It moved out of the [[Blood Lava Tube Sea Caves]] and adapted to life on dry land. In appearance it's much like the [[Sulfamoeba|sulfamoeba]], except that it has grown slightly larger; the decreased relative surface area prevents excessive water loss. Its cell wall has become thicker for the same reason. It still needs some water though, so it can be found mostly in wet sand or snow, or near the hot springs of [[Dixon Volcanic]]. It still uses pseudopods to gather up sulfur, which is found in large quantities in the volcanic sand of the beaches.
