>>5409523After an obscene amount of time spent in obscurity, struggling to survive even crawling on the ground each generation, natural selection has pushed the Flat-Tail Crawlers in a bizarre direction. Rather than flop their malformed bodies to try and outmatch the Shufflers or dare to test themselves against the rads, ice, rifts, tides, and heavy metals in the water, the Flat-Tail Crawlers have sharpened their tails, narrowed their bodies, and buried themselves in the silt among the Growth Strand forests. Now, the Flat-Tail Crawlers are no more, but have evolved into the Curve-Tail Trappers, who don’t spend energy on movement, refuse to vibrate any more than strictly necessary, and lie in wait for Lump Grazers to wriggle against them. This represents a new niche in the ecosystem, one which they may in time take advantage of. As the Curve-Tail Trappers spend their youth searching for silt, they aren’t truly sedentary and can be considered a true, if very simple, multi-phasic organism. This strategy is moderately more effective than actively trying to hunt, just enough to take their population from the brink of extinction to little more than endangered. The Flounder Feeders see little impact from this radical adaptation.
