Ancestor:Descendants:

The hugo worm has replaced its ancestor. After the Flisch devastation, the coverplern worm's habitat and food had disappeared. To combat this they quickly changed their new home and diet to one of the most common plants, the hugograss. The worms rest on the body of the plant with its wings looking like the leaves. They still lie very still during the day and feed on the hugograss at night. They have spread to wherever the hugograss grows. They have also followed the cave hugograss into the Bono Limestone Caves.
