The '''vine gilltail''' split from its ancestor the [[Elongated Gilltail|elongated gilltail]]. It has changed its diet to take advantage of the newly evolved, [[Phoenix Vine|phoenix vines]]. It prefers eating the black photosynthetic bells but will also eat the vine-like roots. It is immune to the acid that the roots can produce. Like its ancestor they are long and thin which allows it to easily slip away from predators. They lay their eggs at the base of the [[LadyM Korystal|ladyM korystal]] or [[Segmented Pyamus|segmented pyamus]] to not only protect them until they hatch but give them a chance to find its food quickly.
