Foliumnympheus foliumegaeus
Overview:
A small musculata that uses its leaf like fins in to swim and also to do photosynthesis. Compared to its predecessor, its fins have fused in order to grant it greater lift in the currents as well as more maneuverability.It has developed spots on its back which store energy in order to produce heat, this unintentionally gives off small amounts of light as well. It has also developed small leaf like structures on its antennae to increase the amount of energy it can produce. Alongside the increase in energy production and the ability to produce minor amounts of heat, F. folium egaeus has developed microfibers in its mouth to allow it to filter and absorb nutrients and carbon dioxide in the water. Due to the increase in energy it can produce as well as nutrients it can receive, its size has grown significantly, being able to reach up to 3 inches long, with a 4 inch wingspan. It stores genetic information in its tail, these tail segments grow into genetically similar organisms once detached, essentially cloning the specimen that released them, these tail fins will regrow after a couple of days.
Grouping Guide:
These creatures will group together with over specimens in massive hordes, the groups have no limit and can easily grow into the thousands, creating massive sheets that cover the ocean. They tend to stick close to each other when possible in order to maximize the heat produced, as the warmer it is, the quicker their offspring mature.
