Ancestor:Descendants:

The crawling meiouk split from its ancestor and adapted to a benthic lifestyle. The species solely lives in Elerd Temperate Coast and has gained a new adaptation, transforming their lower limbs into legs that help them crawl across the ground. This helps it consume more microbes at the bottom of the coast's floor. The species most of the time consumes microorganisms but also consumes detritus. Their whip-like tails are not used in locomotion but instead for stability. Crawling meiouks are not good at crawling across the sediment and will often fall over, but use their whip-like tails to balance themselves getting back up. The species still reproduces sexually and is externally similar to its ancestor.
