Despite the fact that there were no particularly large floral life living within the Dixon Temperate Rainforest, they crowded the biome, taking up much of the light. As such, the dark octumoebium adapt a way to better access the light available to the area, but not for reasons that one might immediately guess. They were soon to be replaced with their descendants, the crowned octumoebium.
Crowned octumoebia adapted significantly more sensitive light sensors, which forms a large, branching organelle extending from their anterior section, constantly in motion. This allows them to better detect light, which they use to move to the best possible locations - generally the tops of trees. It is this organelle from where their name is actually derived, as it "crowns" their "head". However, they still are not autotrophic - this is used instead to locate another cellular species that has also evolved during this time period - the krykko, a descendant of cryosagania.
Once up in the brighter regions where the krykko spend their lives, the crowned octumoebium will use their advanced taste sensors to locate prey and then, once found, they will pierce into them with the hardened pseudospike on their posterior end. However, if there are no krykko around to consume, they will feed on decaying matter.
