By growing a dense, internal plate of cartilage lodged above where the brain will form before exiting the birth sack, they’re able to reduce the risk of brain cancer in newborns by four-fifths. This takes brainless Flounder Feeders from the expected average to a minority everywhere but the elderly and allows them to take full advantage of their newfound intelligence. At their current sensory perception and overall cognition, this extends primarily to more reliably dodging incoming projectiles and hunting prey after it’s stopped vibrating for a few minutes longer. This makes a major difference and the Flounder Feeder population grows noticeably.
