The pioneer twinkiirobranch split from its ancestor, the twinkiiro It has developed large strong roots which it uses to break apart even the most tough soil. Its major success lies in its roots which allow for the growth of the nitrogen fixing microbe called the nixus. It has developed a symbiotic relationship with the nixus by creating nodules for them to grow in and in return the nixus produces a nitrogen compound that helps the pioneer twinkiirobranch grow. When the pioneer twinkiirobranch dies the fixed nitrogen is released making it available to other river flora and this helps to fertilize the muddy soil. In addition as the pioneer twinkiirobranch not only spreads nixus to new biomes but nitritus, nitratus and denitritus, thus completing the nitrogen cycle in barren biomes.
It also has developed a large trunk and branches in which the smaller yellow orbs can photosynthesize. It has also developed a new method of reproduction. Once a year the orbs will detach and merge together much like their distance ancestor the disorderly gelatin. Once combined they will float down to the river bed and take root and repeat the cycle again.
