The pioneer toxiglobe split from its ancestor the double-banded toxiglobe. Its has developed yellow bands to warn herbivores that it is poisonous. It has developed large strong roots which it uses to break apart even the most tough soil. Its major success lies in its roots which allow for the growth of the nitrogen fixing microbe called the nixus. It has developed a symbiotic relationship with the nixus by creating nodules for them to grow in and in return the nixus produces a nitrogen compound that helps pioneer toxiglobe grow. When pioneer toxiglobe dies the fixed nitrogen is released making it available to other rainforest flora and this helps to fertilize the muddy soil. In addition as pioneer toxiglobe not only spreads nixus to new biomes but nitritus, nitratus and denitritus, thus completing the nitrogen cycle in barren biomes.
