Splitting from its ancestor, the scavenging sucker foi has given up parasitism and has instead taken up a life of scavenging the lifeless bodies of the dead. In order to perform this more efficiently, they have evolved a complex system of vacuoles and other organelles within their large "backside" that produce enzymes and aid in the breaking down of the various food it absorbs through its stomach-mouth. This system allows them to even leech nutrients from bones, creating discolorations wherever it feeds.
Their life cycle begins with their spores floating about in a form of stasis as they wait to pickup the chemical signals produced via the decay of flesh. They "hatch" into "winged" mobile larvae and then make their way to the corpses, after which they shed their "wings" and then mature into adults before they begin to feed. Within days they will reach sexual maturity, after which they will begin to produce numerous spores before eventually dying after either reaching old age within 2-3 weeks such as when they are feeding on a rather large corpse like that of a scylarian or, more commonly, they starve to death after they finish off a smaller carcass such as one belonging to a gilltail.
