Ancestor:Descendants:

The rainforest hollowdome split from their ancestor. They are doubled in size of their ancestors. Like their ancestors, they have a hollow core which they fill with nutrients to store because the nutrients in the soil are sparse at best. They are parasitized by the male dome sapworm. The outer chitin lenses trap heat, making it much warmer inside than the air outside the dome. This causes water to condense in the lenses, allowing them to collect it for storage. They need very little nutrients to grow. They also grow within the woodlands that surround the rainforests.
