Vermislontus detritus
Vermislontus detritus is a simple terrestrial musculate of the genus Vermislontus, newly evolved from members of Aerialslontus soarus that took to the ground and fed on decaying plant and animal matter. Flight was no longer needed, and the wings became vestigial as a result.
Vermislontus detritus has become a rather worm-like animal, slithering on the ground by slowly turning its torso side-to-side. Feeding on lower-quality food, it has reduced its body length to 10 centimeters. This detritivore of Zone D will reproduce once it has reached maturity (usually within a month), and eggs will be laid under leaves in clumps of 30 every two weeks in the seasons of spring and summer. Any individuals who do not die from exposure to the cold in winter and are not eaten by predators will typically hibernate under vegetation until it is spring, in which they continue with their wormy life.
