The '''soricinus''' split from its ancestor, the [[Lazarus Soriparasite|lazarus soriparasite]]. At half the size of its ancestor, it has underwent a series of adaptations that improve this species's blood-sucking efficiency—with vampiric precision, and has made it the second-ever [[~~Shrew|~~shrew]] species to forgo milkfeeding.

Instead of latching with teeth and scraping with a tongue, the soricinus now takes a modified pair of front teeth and punctures the site like a hypodermic needle, with the tongue then moving in and out to break the skin and create a draw into the mouth via capillary action with some aid of cheeks that cover the whole mouth, all made possible with the bottom lip in tandem with the puncturing teeth creating a tube. Much akin to its ancestors, analgesic saliva is utilized to avoid being felt by the host. As it enjoys its blood meal, the soricinus maintains its position on its host with wider, flatter feet and a flatter pad on the forelimb digit, which also now bears gekkotan setae, in tandem with the shorter but stronger and darker claw.
