The '''tethered river crystal''' replaced its ancestor, the [[River Crystal|river crystal]] in the [[Yokto River]] and [[Yokto Marsh|Marsh]], as well as driving the [[Binucleus Hollow Crystal|binucleus hollow crystal]] to extinction in those areas, being able to both grow larger and bring its main photosynthesizing body closer to the surface. This is due to its
Another major change from its ancestor is that the tethered river crystal spore undergo meiosis before being released, leaving them with only half the needed chromosomes. These spores then bond and merge with partner spores from other individuals before being able to grow. However, the tethered root crystal still reproduces asexually by means of the budding of new individuals from existing root structures. In addition, the sharp corners of the main body, being often subject to injury or wearing from passing particles, have become more rounded.
