Size: 50μm mutation in a microdragon(Pyrrhocytos draconem) caused it to be driven away when it detected the presence of ferric oxides. As a result, it seeked out areas with low concentrations concentrations of ferric oxides, which is almost nowhere due to the presence of L. ferrum. However, a synaplot, F. despsoili, produced a strong acid, lapisacare, which reacted with ferric oxides in the water, lowering its concentration around F. despsoili. Due to this, the mutated microdragon was attracted to F. despsoili and begin to feed on its zoospores. It’s descendants became P. mykatovorrum and eventually begin to feed on the main body of the synaplot.

Pyrrhocytos mykatovorrum, or microdragon, will travel over the cave formations of zone 30, using their chemoreceptors to detect a lack of ferric oxide. Once they’ve “bumped” into the hyphae or zoospore F. despsoili, they will they attempted ingest it. To “break” a hyphae cell away from the main body by releasing proteolytic enzymes so it can fit it into its “mouth. After eating eating enough, They will reproduce through mitosis and continue to eat away at the exposed hyphae until the only hyphae available are buried in rocks. They will then scatter in search of new synaplots to feed on.
