Ancestor:Descendants:

The slug urhook split from its ancestor and moved into Dixon Water Table. In this new environment, where there are no aquatic plateworms to feed upon, it adapted to eating new kinds of iron filled organisms. such are the floating stickyball and the water table foi, which gets their iron from the micro fort line of iron lithovores.

Its form of locomotion is the same as its ancestor's, however, its reproductive organs grew larger, so it can copulate much easier with its mate. In this environment, it doesn't hibernate as long as they did before, because of the little nutrients that are available in its new, smaller pray. Hibernating are the same for both sexes, being 5 alternating months. The rest of the year finds both sexes awake at the same time, trying to find food as fast as they can.

Its foremost and smaller appendages, grown out of use for walking or swimming, developed glans at their front that produce jelly-like substance. These jelly filled glans enables it to faintly sense electromagnetism in the water table's water. This new sense is very weak and helps only in rare cases where the magnetic locater organ is out of whack.
