>>5402661Under numberless generations of death by constant, hellish cancer from their exposed fins, natural selection has pushed the Ripple Trackers into saturating their flesh with melanin. A mild level of protection from the scorching radiation around them, but one that makes a difference on its own. If any species were capable of sight, it would serve as impromptu camouflage in the darkness if it wasn’t for their shell but luckily for their competitors and unluckily for themselves, there are not. This causes a reduction of cancer severity and increases their lifespan by an average of half of one local week, or three Terran weeks. The Flounder Feeders are in a far less precarious position than they were and if their environment doesn’t collapse, should fare reasonably well in the immediate future.
