Slime Sukapod
Evolved from Sukalensis gasseri. Some members of S. gasseri would become dislodged or could not find a Spheralgearous hostus to host on and acted opportunistically to survive feeding on what polyphs they could find but being out in the open left them vulnerable. Some ended up on Gigoslontus flotensis which gave them protection and they began feeding on submerged polyphs that grew on flotensis, namely Odonototria gigantequitus. These members would become Sukalensis gigantaja.
Sukalensis gigantaja are on average smaller than their ancestor ranging from 2-3cm, their smaller size allows them to wedge themselves on G. flotensis and crowd into small spaces. They lay 2-4 eggs once a year in the moist soil on G. flotensis' back. The eggs hatch in weeks, the 0.7cm larvae will crawl into the water, and begin feeding on O. gigantequitus. The larvae have 3 segments and molt 2 times adding a segment each time until they are 1.6-1.8cm then they will dig into the soil on G. flotensis and pupate, adding one final segment. After a month they will emerge as adults, resume feeding on O. gigantequitus, and start searching for a mate. Their flat body is retained because it allows them to more easily cling on to G. flotensis while its moving but they no longer store toxins in their body because their food does not produce any. They will move between hosts if 2 or more G. flotensis are near each other.
