Pitcarus siojika
Pitcarus siojika is a Palaean living in zone M. It is between 3-4 μm. It has a four pairs of flagella at one end of the cell, a cell membrane, a cell wall, a cell capsule, loose DNA, and ribosomes. They reproduce by binary fission. P. siojika mostly lives in the soil water in zone M. They normally break down organic matter by releasing enzymes and gain nutrients from the decomposition. When they are decomposing they reproduce at a rate of once every 4 hours. If they reach the top of Prolixa metriapatros' stem moving through the surface moisture or water from rains they will begin to feed on the nutritious fluid and begin reproducing rapidly. They will reproduce at a rate of once every 30 minutes when at in the P. metriapatros fluids. Because of the high reproductive rate they can infest Prolixa metriapatros and greatly reduce the amount of nutritious fluids available.
During winter they will slow the reproductive rate to once a day and rely on any snow as insulation. There will still be a small die off every winter.
