The draintri replaced its ancestor, the yenaptak in the Barlowe High Desert and Barlowe Desert. As water are rare in this area the yenaptak found little use of its main reproduction method and had to adapt itself. The draintri is slightly larger than its ancestor and resembles it at looks but has a few main differences. It has evolved a small stalk made of a spongy material that helps it drain humidity from the air and store it in its bulb and outer puddle to survive the harsh dry desert conditions. Also after its main three leaves grow out three new leaves start to grow at the same time. When the main leaves spread out they will partly dry out in a few months. After this will happen they will detach from the plant and will be spread by the wind until they will land and then start growing a new plant there. The secondary three leaves will then function as the draintri's main leaves and three new ones will start growing again.
