Ancestor:Descendants:

The Lotusworm is descended from the split-leafworm in Flisch Marsh and has replaced it. The lotusworm's split leafwings have formed into large circular leaves, increasing the total surface area of the light gathering surfaces. The hairs on its tongue have also developed, allowing it to draw more nutrients from the ground. The skin and leaves of the lotusworm have become thicker and tougher in response to predation by batworms. These enhancements have allowed the lotusworm to become greater in size and to replace its ancestor.
