The whipping cell replaced it's ancestor within the Huggs Island Coast. The whipping cell moves by twisting itself in clockwise or counter-clockwise directions. It retains it's long sting-clusters, but do to it's style of movement the bulk of the cells tend to concentrate near the "center" of the creature. Whipping cells hunt by using their thing string strands, and twisting motion to whip and puncture the cell membrane/wall of another microbe. This gives the whipping cell easy access to the contents of the other cell. When a string has to many cells, the end of the cell will whip off eventually becoming another creature. Due to the nature of this form of reproduction, whipping cells can sometimes form within still living cells. It still can reproduce via fission as well.
