Ancestor:Descendants:

The lurehum split from its ancestor, the humgrove and moved to the shallow coasts of all of western Dixon and Barlowe. It has dramatically changed its reproduction methods and is now a hermaphrodite. It grows from a tiny seed that land on the coastal ground underwater that grows for 2–3 years under the water, growing slowly towards the air by enlarging its roots. Once it reaches the air it will open its floating leaves and keep growing its sail. It will then grow a reproduction nectar tube on top of its sail. This tube releases nectar that contains its reproduction cells and is sucked by the nectascooters that pass it on when sucking on another tube. They lure the nectascooters and signal them they are ready to reproduce by growing the strings in the holes in their sail that make a unique vibration that can't be heard at all but sensed by the nectascooters and let them now it is time. After the zygote is created the lurehum will turn its nectar tube into a seed releasing pollen head, much like its ancestor used to spread spores. These seed will be then carried out by the wind until they land in the water and grow into new lurehums.
