Ancestor:Descendants:

The dreidalbulb split from its ancestor and inhabited the empty Dixon Tundra and Dixon Polar Scrub. There with no herbivores feeding on it and no competition it has grown twice its ancestor's size and lost its poison. It has grown a bark-like exposed root from which the leaves grow in order to keep them away from the cold or frozen soil. Its seeds are now larger and are in fact a small version of the adult plant. It will only release them in summer when there is as little snow on the soil as possible. When the seed lands it digs itself using its sharp root and spin in order to get inside the ground. Because of their size these seeds are rarely spread too far, yet in powerful winds they can float for a few kilometers before landing. It no longer reproduces through budding and its famous bulbs grow slightly after it roots itself to the ground and can very deep.
