Ancestor:Descendants:

The mae kinderbane split from its ancestor, the mountain cellulosebane, and moved to the Mae Sandstone Caves. With less sunlight to absorb, the mae kinderbane had to improve in its other diet method. It now relies mainly on eating dead particles, which it gathers with its spread-out fungus cells. It still uses photosynthesis in the caves' openings, but in the deep, dark hollows of the caves it relies mainly on detritus. Its crystal branches are now disconnected from the main body of the crystal, however they are still connected by the fungus-like cells.

Like its ancestor, it has a chemical that not only restrict the growth of non-crystal flora but dissolves cellulose. Each of their crystal branches can open up and release their spores. Because this organism cannot get sunlight most of the time, it has grown smaller. This, in turn, turned down the potency of the Cellulase it produces.

The less potent Cellulase can't cause adult plents to die when breathing the spores of the mae kinderbane, but it makes the unborn plents deform and die before they are born. This caused the cave pipent and the maerundi to become extinct.
