Ancestor:Descendants:

The Pelagic Greengill split from its ancestor, the Greengill. It has changed it diet from shrubite to bubblegea species. It has left the crowded coastlines to the open ocean. There it can eat the various floating bubblegea, such as the Chambered Bubblegea and Colonial Bubblgea. Its darker coloration help it blend in with the black color of the bubblegea. They spend most of their lives climbing on or swimming around bubblegea. It provides them with both food and shelter.

It has developed a more advanced locomotion. Rather than just a jet on either side now there are 3 jets on either side. Two pointing forward, two pointing backwards and two pointing to the side. This allows them to propel themselves in any direction by using the correct combination of jets. Like its ancestor, its face are many gill slits, which suck in water. They are green in color because of their sulfur based blood. At the top of their conical calcium shell are 6 siphons, which expelled the water that is breathed in by the gills.

Like their ancestor, they have a long hollow tooth between their legs which they use to eat. Inside the tooth is a strong acid that can melt and dissolve the bubblgea into a liquid so it can drink it. They have 2 sexes and will mate each full moon. Once the eggs are fertilized, the female will expel the eggs out of the siphons at the top of its shell aim them at the side of Bubblegea. They have a sticky outer coating that helps them adhere to the surface of the Bubblegea. The offspring must survive on their own. Many do not even reach adulthood. Since they are born on their food source they have a better chance to survive than if they were laid out in the open waters.
