The Edward Angle Worm split from its ancestor, the Sapworms. The Angleworm has adapted to the polar climate of Drake Tundra much further than its ancestors and has formed a relationship with the local Gossalizard by living in the mouth or silk cavity(if still present) of the Gossalizard in a thin mat. While they are in there(a majority of their life) they keep the Gossalizard's mouth free of infection or cuts by using adhesive substances from the Sproutstalk. Lending to their namesake after the well-accredited dentist and pioneer of orthodontics. Once the cold sets in and the Gossalizard must migrate, the Angleworms move down into a safe area in the stomach and lay their eggs. The parent Angleworms die within a few hours and are digested by the Gossalizard.
Once the Gossalizard returns to the Drake Tundra, a small few eggs hatch and live in the Gossalizard, within this time the egg period of their life some eggs from less adhesive parent will fall through the digestive system while their parents are still alive and will have to find a new Gossalizard host later in life. Once hatching the next season, they climb a nearby Sproutstalk flaunting themselves and their tongues in hopes of catching the attention of a passing Gossalizard in need of more Angleworms. As they are adults in the mat formation in the mouth of the Gossalizard they are constantly in danger of being digested accidentally, this causes some more clumsy Gossalizard to constantly replenish their mat of Angleworms.
