The jeluki sapworm split from its ancestor and moved to Jeluki Polar River. It has adapted to feed on the sap of purple flora, now feeding on the sap of the jeluki snowpuff. Its four wings are hidden under the two elytra, to protect them from injuries. It also has evolved three pairs of eyes at its body segments. This came from a mutation, which brought much better sight. The jeluki sapworm travels in small swarms, searching for groups of jeluki snowpuffs. When the swarm finds a group, it will land on the jeluki snowpuffs and gouge its sharp tongues into the hosts. There the jeluki sapworm stays until the host dies or the eggs are layed onto the host.
