Ancestor:Descendants:

The pioneer quillprong replaced its ancestor, the pioneer quillball. Like its ancestor it has fuzzy leaves as well as sharp thorns. It too has roots which house the nixus and as a result spread it and nitritus, nitratus and denitritus to new biomes. Thus completing the nitrogen cycle in barren biomes. Unlike its ancestor it grows in a prong shape with 3 tiny branches growing off from the base.
