Ancestor:Descendants:

The nimbus pile came to be when nimbus clouds that for some reason had fallen to the ground managed to survive there. They live in colonies that can grow to huge proportions, if placed in shelter from the weather, the colony can grow up to several meters in height and width. The weight of the colony however is next to nothing due to the nimbus cell's properties.

They reproduce via asexual spores that can survive for a long period of time until conditions are suitable for it to grow into a new individual. They have also evolved a keen way to survive should conditions be really harsh; the nimbus pile has the ability to grow an endospore, which will allow them to survive for long periods of time until it is once again suitable for them to grow a colony. They can now be found along most of Dixon and Barlowe's beaches and also somewhere inlands. They look like piles of dust, hence their name. In each colony, only the outer-most layer of individuals are alive due to the fact that they are the only ones that receive sunlight.
