The morsus parasitica split from it's ancestor, the morsus friga, as a result of a mutation that allowed morsus friga to live inside of the digestive tracts of living organisms, and feed off of their ingested food. It reproduces quickly through mitosis, and will usually begin to effect it's host's normal bodily functions within 72 hours of contact.

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 class is extinct; any relatives it does have likely do not resemble it.
