After 500 million years of evolutionary dormancy, a relic population of [[rainbow marephasmatis]] experienced a sudden boom in diversity. Oddly enough, this genus of marephasmatis came into existence partially due to the actions of the [[seashrog]], bringing massive amounts of microbe-riddled driftwood into the open ocean. '''Dragon Marephasmoids''' are opportunistic, feasting on almost any cloud of microbes or clump of dead tissue they come across. To aid in feeding, their sticky anterior digestive membrane has become a somewhat concave dome-shape, and is able to be everted in order to grab hold of larger objects. Four small knobs surround the “mouth”, acting as the main sites of chemoreception.

Dragon Marephasmoids aren’t particularly fast. However, they are not necessarily easy prey. They pulsate with vibrant colors to warn predators of their venomous sting, which is much more potent than it was in their ancient ancestors. The tail now also possesses four rows of smaller tentacles, which provide surface area for even more nematocysts.
