Ancestor:Descendants:

The chlorocluster replaced it's ancestor in Ittiz river. The chlorocluster moves slower than it's ancestor, but it's much more efficient at gathering energy, and is surprisingly quick at ascending and descending. A chance mutation caused a chlorocytus to not separate correctly during reproduction, however the cell still matured and thrived due to the sharing of energy. Eventually the continued breeding of these deformed chlorocytus allowed for further deviations to develop. Chlorocluster cells are adaptable cells. They are able to turn off unneeded functions letting the other cell do the work for that process, for example one cell concentrating on waste removal and the other food. They are also capable of dividing the workload between them instead. This is accomplished by shutting down or turning on certain functions.
