Cave Volox

The blind volox has split from its ancestor, the cave volox. Without that much light in the water table, the blind volox lost its bioluminescence and sight, instead moving around in the bottom of the floor and sensing any detritus, reducing its size. It has lost its carnivorous diet and has taken up a large detritivore route. It now locates food using microscopic bristles located around its oversized mouth. They are used to sense where the nearest source is. They lay frog-like eggs into water, similar to its ancestor. It lives for a fairly short time, 5 weeks to 2 months. The body of the blind volox has also become larger to exploit the abundance of detritus in the water table. Other than these adaptations it is almost identical to its ancestor.
