Potamihelix epipedikochyli
Size: Same as ancestor
Members of Helix pessulus started feeding on the seeds of Plortatus app. that fell into zone 19. Those members stayed and eventually adapted, becoming Helix epipedikochyli.
H. epipedikochyli has returned to a lifestyle similar to some of its earliest ancestors. They lives by the river bank, foraging for Plortatus seeds, specifically from P. ipsumpellicius, P. ipsumsemenous, and P, ipsumpervenirous. To deal with the strong current, its shell is flatter, making it more hydrodynamic and reducing the risk of being swept away while the claws on its foot helps it grip onto substrate. H.pessulus lacked a significant amount of salts in its body which, as a result, helped it deal with the change in osmolarity when transitioning into freshwater. However, it's cells still absorbs surplus water, causing it to becoming bloated. If taken out of water though, they will become saggy and limp, making movement difficult. H. epipedikochyli reproduces the same way as other helixes
