The scarcity of food in the Dixon Water Table had led some dixon foi to eat mucus and debris off each others' backs. At one point, these foi outright progressed to drinking others' body fluids. As a parasite, the flange-nosed foi is smaller than its host, and does not kill the host when it feeds. The distinctive flanges on a flange-nosed foi, surprisingly enough, do not improve its sense of smell. These flanges function only to anchor the flange-nosed foi in its host until it is done feeding. If the host has no preexisting wounds the parasite may feed from, the flanges may also function as primitive, awkward stabbing implements.
