The crocuser split off from the colonial crocusium, migrated to Sparks Swamp and spread to Sparks River, Glicker Lake and Glicker River. It has grown to twice it's ancestor's size in order to increase surface area for collecting sunlight, it can't live as an individual cell anymore and must remain as a colony, the outer cells are hard, while the interior cells are soft. It is slightly transparent to allow light to reach all the cells.

Living Relatives (click to show/hide)

These are randomly selected, and organized from lowest to highest shared taxon. (This may correspond to similarity more than actual relation)

None found. Note that this does not necessarily mean it has no living relatives at all, but that, assuming all taxonomy is filled in, its entire phylum is extinct; any relatives it does have likely do not resemble it.
