The cryobowls are the genus group which replaced the individual Fruiting Cryobowl, Box Cryobowl, Carnivorous Cryobowl, and Pioneer Cryobowl species. They are most abundant on the Darwin continent, preferring colder climes.

Glasslike chitin covers protects photosynthetic cells, as well as allow light ot pass through to said cells. The water-filled bowl houses and cryoutines, who symbiotically share energy they produce with the host cryobowl. Some cryobowls produce sticky enzymes to trap small fauna who come to drink the water from the bowl, eating the prey. Still other cryobowls have large roots to better absorb nutrients from the soil.

All cryobowls produce spongy fruits along the ring of their bowl, which either fauna (mainly cloudswarmers) will eat and later regurgitate a seed or will fall off about 1 week after production; those seeds that fall on the ground grow into new cryobowls while those which end up in adult cryobowls are broken down and the genetic material incorporated into that cryobowl's offspring. Seeds take 2 weeks to bud and take another 2 weeks to mature, individuals live for 3 years, producing fruits every quarter of a year.
