The '''phantom crystal''' split from its ancestor and made its way to [[Badger Limestone Caverns]] after it was carried their by [[Ylbershpelle Bubblehorn|ylbershpelle bubblehorns]]. Now it has adapted and its spores now seek out these bubblehorns when they come to the water within the small pools in the caverns. When they find one, such as when they are laying their eggs, they attach themselves to their horns and then go into a state of hibernation. The next time its host enters the water, they reactivate and then quickly settle down on the pool bottom before maturing into their adult stage.

As it now lives in a [[Wikipedia:Limestone|limestone-rich]] environment, it has begun to absorb some of this abundant mineral and has developed a pale green coloration as a result, though otherwise they would be clear due to a lack of pigments. They filter feed on the microbes that are native to their pools. They reach maturity, thrive, reproduce, etc... before the pools in the caverns can potentially dry out after long periods of time, though thankfully their transports are experts at finding new pools for them to live in. In return, adult crystals provide shelter for young larval ylbershpelle bubblehorns. If conditions remain stable, these organisms can survive for hundreds of years.
