L. soluvescor is a unicellular decomposer found on the seafloor of Zone 10.

Adaptations: L. soluvescor has lost the remnants of its cell wall in order to make its actin filament-powered pseudopod action more energy efficient, allowing it to pull its full cellular body into expanded pseudopods, rather than needing to work around the wall. L. soluvescor has also lost many of its chloroplasts, as it no longer relies primarily on photosynthesis.

Feeding: Though still performing supplemental photosynthesis, L. soluvescor now feeds primarily on the variety of detritus that has sunk to the floor of Zone 10, using more developed digestive enzymes that allow it to break down detritus more efficiently. Like its ancestors, if L. soluvescor goes without food for extended periods of time, it will go into a state of dormancy by slowing down its metabolism considerably until conditions improve.

Reproduction: L. soluvescor reproduces asexually through mitosis and will do so every half an hour with access to large amounts of detritus.
