Ancestor:Descendants:

Splitting from its ancestor, the ringed terraglobe has evolved a new lifestyle living on the bark of segmented carnofern. Encrusting them, they are immune to their digestive enzymes. While they do leech some nutrients from its bark, in turn they produce enzymes that inhibit the growth of other species that might overwhelm its host before it can "remove" them while at the same time providing excess sugars for it. In order to spread, it is covered in a thin layer of sticky sap-like liquid that allows it to stick to the heads of ringtailed ketters which will carry them between hosts. They are protected from being eaten as the ringtailed ketters find their sickly sweet smell that they release when bitten into overwhelming should it attempt to eat them.
