The octumeobium branched off from the hexspourus, leaving it's population mostly intact except where direct competition occurs between them. Mature octumoebiums move with their foot-like 'wings', having abandoned the use of flagellum. Instead it's flagella have specialized. The flagella on the "foot-wing" are used as a primitive "sensor" that allows them to 'taste' the surrounding area for food. The other flagellum at the "rear" of the octumoebium help in waste removal/nutrient retrieval. In order to consume an organism, it attempts to surround the prey and break it's cell wall and then incorporating the prey's nutrients into itself. Octumoebiums have a primitive "nutrient transfer" system.
Due to the nature of trinary fission, only two of the cells are exactly the same size, these are the "offspring cells" while the larger, older cell is the "parent cell". The two large 'organelles' on the "lower" half of the creature are proto-nuclei. The creature will split itself in at the "lower-upper" half and then further splitting the "lower" half into another 'half'. Just before separation, special RNA carriers (vRNA) "verify" that the proto-nuclei are ready to mature. The "parent" cell is mostly intact. The "offspring" cells are a split in the genetic structure of the "parent" cell but in opposing pair sequences. Each proto-nuclei contains an equal but opposite portion of the parent cell.
It is not quite mitosis, but it's not exactly fission either. It doesn't split a single chromosome in quite the same way that either of those sequences does it. It doesn't exactly create the extra "pair" of mitosis nor does it exactly split a single chromosome into two (or in this case three). It could be considered a primitive type of "spawning". Offspring cells semi-attach themselves to the outer wall of the "parent" until they reach a more developed state. They separate to 'hunt' for food if there aren't enough nutrients in the soil.
Though it exists in both Ittiz Rocky and Nuke Temperate Forest, they thrive in Ittiz Rocky much better, especially with the competition from septemspourus. The red iron rich soil is an important part of their "diet", and they thrive on it.
