River groveglobes split from their ancestor rust groveglobes. The groveglobes now inhabit ittiz river. A physiological adaptation of the groveglobes is that they can grow underwater to get their nutrients more directly. A colony is usually never fully underwater, but the bottom individuals almost always are. The colonies can grow up to 50 meters wide.
The river groveglobes are not sessile organisms. They use the tendrils to move; however, they move slowly especially under water. The root-like tendrils have become stronger so as to anchor the groveglobes in the river. This way in case of a sudden change of current or flooding, the groveglobes will not be carried away or damaged. The strengthening of the tendrils has also led to the ability to move in case the current position becomes unsuitable. Unfortunately, the fastest colony can only move about on inch an hour, which can put them at risk from Iron-eaters and rapid changes in environmental conditions.
