Ancestor:Descendants:

The River Gillarill split from its ancestor, the Gillarill. It has left the coasts and now lives within the waterways of Bone. Its coloration has changed to a golden color to blend in with the golden mud of Bone River. Its from feelers now have becomes scoops to help bring in plankton to its mouth. The other pair have now primitive eye spots on them. They can only tell light from dark. This helps them know the surface from the bottom as well as avoiding anything casting a shadow on them. They are quick swimmers and can get away from most predators due to their quick agility.

They are hermaphroditic and will lay their eggs in the mud in mass once a year. Once laid they will release their sperm into the water to fertilize other eggs in the area too. This mass spawning happens the spring. many of the eggs eat eaten by other predators but some survive. Of those few only a small amount reach adulthood to reproduce.
