The '''greenbelly shellworm''' split from its ancestor, the [[Flood Shellworm|flood shellworm]]. It has gone deeper into the caves until it reached the [[Nuke Water Table|water table]]. There there was an abundance of [[Lithoamoeba|lithoamebas]] it could eat. Like its ancestor it uses its belly hairs to eat but it now has developed a green mucus which helps it digest microbes. The sticky mucus captures the microbes so all it has to do is rub its belly on colonies of lithomebas which are feeding on the limestone.
It has gotten larger and its legs are stronger. Its smelling antennae now have become a large cluster of bubble nodes. This allows it to smell feces or decaying matter from farther away, which they also eat. Their back feelers have also grown the digesting hairs so it can scoop larger organic matter against its belly.
