|---|---|
The Flurroom split from their ancestor, diverging from a benthic lifestyle. They use their tentacles to climb up young Tlukaequabora, Mangrovecrystal, and Topship Fuzzpalms. Every day, when it starts getting too hot or dry, the Flurroom will detach and fall back into the water. It will instinctively attempt to slow its descent by flapping its leaves.
The reproductive method of the Flurroom has changed somewhat from the Brushrums. Like their ancestor, juvenile Flurroom are planktivorous, floating around mangals, soaking up sunlight and filter feeding.
When a Flurroom matures, they will float over to a tree that grows near water. A Flurroom will climb up the tree until it reaches a spot it likes. This spot is usually halfway up the tree and overlooking a pool of water. It must remain near water or risk drying out and dying. It will then start leeching water and nutrients from the host flora with its via a denticle located on its underside. When the day gets too hot and dry, the Flurroom will fall back into the water and cling to the roots, before climbing back up at night.
Reproduction
In the Flurroom, their reproductive organs have started to migrate toward the center of the plant. While still on the edges of the leaves, these run the risk of being eaten, but ones near the center of the Flurroom at the base of the leaves help to mitigate this risk. These growths form a raised portion causing a ring-like form to take shape. When small fauna walk into this ring, the Flurroom flap their leaves to shake off the spores which attach to the organism similar to pollen. It will sometimes shake the spores off even without a trigger if the spores get heavy enough.
