If all goes well for the fang keryh eggs, they travel through an artery and to the submucosa layer of the small intestine. They implant in the submucosa and grow two prongs to anchor them, as well as four tentacles to absorb nutrients. The tentacles absorb nutrients directly through the skin, as their digestive system is just a pit between their tentacles at this point. (Interestingly, the digestive system doesn't develop any further when it becomes an adult.) Unlike their ancestor, which feeds on the digested slurry (chyme) of the host, the fang keryh larvae feed on blood and lymph from surrounding vessels.
In about nine days the fang keryh larvae detach from the submucosa and travel to the excretory system through a blood vessel. The 2
The adults are able to live in any part of Vivus with moist volcanic soil, but can only reproduce in habitats that have cragagons.
