Nanocalvus zephyrum living in the atmosphere air above Zone J were inevitably brought down to the ground by rain. Individuals that stayed on the group were able to take full advantage of a relatively uncontested niche and became a new species.

Much like their ancestors, Nanocalvus petramcella absorbs methane via diffusion, producing carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide will be used in photosynthesis causing oxygen to be released. Nanocalvus petramcella has developed adhesive proteins within its cell wall to stick to substrate. Nanocalvus petramcella has developed a higher concentration of photosynthetic organelles, which thus give them a bright-ish orange coloration, allowing it to survive in areas with lower light. The species is able to breed at a faster pace than its ancestor due to the abundance of nutrients and moisture on the surface, reproducing every five (5) to ten (10) minutes by duplicating genetic material and splitting into two identical copies. This helps them keep up with predation pressures from the Soil Microdragon (Pyrrhocytos chomos).
