When some members of its host species, Woramus dontria, hitched rides onto Gigaslontus flotensis, some of the microbe Ventricapillus saccharovorum were left behind still on Gigaslontus flotensis. After being inhaled through their gills, they were able to adapt to living inside of Gigaslontus flotensis, which had no defenses against them, by changing the enzymes that could dissolve flesh cells on organ lining without reacting to its own cellular proteins in order to efficiently get sugar.

Although the young of Gigaslontus flotensis do eat fibered vegetation, the adults do not consistently and may only feed on Foliumnympheus foliumicroeus while in the ocean. This has caused Ventricapillus carnosaeclum to inactivate its ability to metabolize fibers and specialize into metabolize muscal flesh more efficiently. Many small hairlike protrusions also grow on the flagella which can help the cell grip onto cell lining so that it can get more energy from them.

Ventricapillus carnosaeclum is relatively unchanged in size, growing up to five micrometers (5μm) in length before beginning cellular mitosis. It reproduces asexually by splitting into two every thirty (30) minutes on average, although it may give or take a few minutes as an error of margin. It can spread to new hosts from being carried by the winds from floating carrion in addition to being passed on to muscal young if they happen to spread into the reproductive systems of their hosts. They will multiply and hosts without ways to get rid of them may die in a couple weeks to a month once these eat away at too much of their lining.
