Ancestor:Descendants:

The crystalplaque split from the sagavermes microplaque. Since they lived in the crystalworm’s mouth, they were introduced to the cellulosebane crystal’s Cellulosese often. A group of sagavermes microplaque began to eat the poison instead of ignoring it. While small amounts of the sagavermes microplaque were regularly deposited during the course of the crystalworm’s pollination, these microplaque were able to survive by eating the Cellulosese produced by the crystal. They will eat the Cellulosese stuck to the spores and in the dirt near the mycelium. They have spread both through the dirt, the crystalworm’s pollination, and sticking to spores. Though they are found in every cellulosebane crystal, they do not hurt the plant except for the small amount of chitin they eat to build up their cell walls, which is negligible. Because of the crystalplaque, the air, ground, and water in Slarti River and Slarti Swamp are free of Cellulosese.
