The '''vermees''' replaced the [[cadovermi]] and the [[Gold-Belly Cadovermi|gold-belly cadovermi]]. Originating in Darwin, they act as tiny macro detrivores that end up decomposing anything overlooked by larger creatures. They prefer aerated soil, and so are rarely found in aquatic biomes. They have several new adaptations that allowed them to outcompete their ancestor. First, they have lost their large central segment,
Individuals live for 2 years, reproducing in time with the lunar cycle, mating every new moon. Vermi reproduction is slightly different from their ancestor, in fact it allowed them to become so widespread. Individuals still give birth to live young (approximately one fifth adult size), however these young have a sticky coating of mucus that allows them to adhere to and climb on larger flora and fauna. The young live like this for 2 months, nibbling on the outer epithelial layers of larger creatures before the mucus wears off and they fall to their new home. In this way they were able to spread to all land biomes on Sagan 4.
