Ancestor	Miniplortatus ipsumsemenous
Descendants	Dangling Furry Plort

After the extinction of P. forensus, S. jorfunus started preying on the vines of P. ipsumsemenous, sucking liquids from the polyph as while as laying its eggs on the vines.

In response, P. ipsumsemenous developed numerous, stiff, thin hairs (trichomes) along its stem and vines. These hairs block S. jorfunus and its young from being able to get close enough to the polyph to suck its fluids, and also prevents the parasite's eggs from sticking to it. The leaves feature smaller, softer hairs as well, which gives the polyph a lighter appearance.

Like its ancestor, many seed-coated vines extend from the plant, dropping seeds everywhere they can. Reaching maturity at 3-4 feet in about a month, it produces seeds year-round.
