The herbivorous tropoworm split from its ancestor, the tropoworm, and found some new niches to adapt to. Since all the bellyoon descendants have perished a long time ago, the herbivorous tropoworm is the only one to feed on the zeploons' leafs. It grew to twice its ancestor's size, and its mouth bristles grew longer and longer.
During mating season, the herbivorous tropoworm will couple in pairs, using their long and bristled chemoreceptors to find and interact with mates.
