Ancestor:Descendants:

Some lunggrows growing in Ittiz-Nuke Boreal traveled down the Terra River to Wright Tropical Rainforest where they adapted to live near to water streams, splitting into a new species. The ripocaca is about double the size of its ancestor and now develops long leaves and up to three fruits on each shrub. These fruits will grow and detach from it, falling in the river and being carried to lower lands. The taste of the fruit resembles chocolate and is very pleasant to several creatures, which helped to spread this shrub along the tropical forests on the central part of Wright, along Terra and Nuke Rivers. It still reproduced from detached roots, which now are deeper and help to hold the soil near the rivers.
