The slooplilly evolved from and replaced the archaic bisaililly in both the Jujubee and LadyM Open Oceans due to its new adaptations. The slooplilly's sails have formed into a more efficient configuration, becoming quite similar to the Bermuda rigging used on 17th Century human ships on Earth. This allows the slooplilly to sail faster and more smoothly across the seas. The board that the slooplilly floats on has also developed into a hull, it is actually a stiff pocket with openings at the fore and aft of the slooplilly. The hull displaces more water than the old board, keeping the slooplilly more buoyant. The roots of the slooplilly are fully enclosed within the hull of the plant and catch particles which are suspended in the water traveling through the pocket while the plant moves. The slooplilly has increased in size from its ancestor and its hull is about as long as its mast is tall. The faster movement and root configuration of the slooplilly makes it less susceptible to crystal root infestation, but some plants still die from it.
