As the populations of [[Gilltails|gilltails]] in [[Krakow Polar Coast|Krakow polar coast]] began to dwindle, the [[Clinging Belumbia|clinging belumbia]] needed to find better ways to survive. One such method that came about was a return to an ancestral niche. The [[Urmelia]] has become reminiscent of the long extinct [[Urchips]] and [[Urstars]], filter-feeding plankton out of the water. They no longer lay their eggs on organisms, instead laying them onto rocks along the seabed. They are slow moving, crawling along the sand. |

The '''urmelia''' split from their ancestor the [[Dancing Urstar|dancing urstar]], adapting to a sedentary lifestyle on the ocean floor, reminiscent of their long extinct [[urstar]] ancestors. Unlike their free-swimming ancestors, they have lost the fins of its predecessors entirely, with their limbs now better equipped for crawling, shifting toward, though they are built more for stability and efficiency on the seabed rather than mobility. They are slow moving, crawling along the sand at a gradual pace, but are more often completely sedentary, only moving when driven by food scarcity or reproductive drive. |

The urmelia retain their ancestral filter-feeding habits but have altered their beak structure. Their beak is oriented upwards, enabling the intake of suspended particles and plankton from the water column while the vertical orientation of the beak reduces the intake of sand and debris, enhancing feeding efficiency without necessitating significant movement or repositioning of the body. Reproductively, they no longer lay their eggs on organisms but instead deposit them onto rocks along the seabed, ensuring a stable environment for their offspring. They have shifted their coloration to blend into the sand, and their eggs have also taken on a subdued color to blend in with the rocks of the environment. |

The urmelia split from their ancestor the dancing urstar, adapting to a sedentary lifestyle on the ocean floor, reminiscent of their long extinct urstar ancestors. Unlike their free-swimming ancestors, they have lost the fins of its predecessors entirely, with their limbs now better equipped for crawling, shifting toward, though they are built more for stability and efficiency on the seabed rather than mobility. They are slow moving, crawling along the sand at a gradual pace, but are more often completely sedentary, only moving when driven by food scarcity or reproductive drive.
The urmelia retain their ancestral filter-feeding habits but have altered their beak structure. Their beak is oriented upwards, enabling the intake of suspended particles and plankton from the water column while the vertical orientation of the beak reduces the intake of sand and debris, enhancing feeding efficiency without necessitating significant movement or repositioning of the body. Reproductively, they no longer lay their eggs on organisms but instead deposit them onto rocks along the seabed, ensuring a stable environment for their offspring. They have shifted their coloration to blend into the sand, and their eggs have also taken on a subdued color to blend in with the rocks of the environment.
