Ancestor:Descendants:

The cave gigarystal split from its ancestor and moved into Sparr Limestone Caves. It has lost its dark coloration due to it being sheltered from the frigid alpine. They thrive in pools of water found in the caves, but can also survive out of the water. Underwater specimens will feast on the wide variety of genus group microbes that dwell in these pools. Meanwhile, their large roots will soak up any free nutrients they run into. Specimens found outside of these pools are slightly smaller and mainly use their roots to absorb nutrients. However, specimens living outside of the water will consume any microbe that finds its way onto it. Specimens that live on land will only live for a few years, and will spend most of their time producing spores as an attempt to spread their kind to other pools of water.
