Cilliororm, the first Rorm species.

Anatomy

Basal rorms have a hydrostatic skeleton and a simple nervous system. Some derived species, the armororms, have a keratinous exoskeleton. Their skin contains beta keratin, evolved from the beta keratin that held the cillioligament cells together. Likewise, their extracellular matrix is also keratinous.

Behavior

Breathing and Blood

Rorms mainly breathe by diffusing oxygen into their skin. They do not have blood.

Diet & Energy

Most are filter feeders, sifting microbes out of the water.

Evolution

Locomotion

They move in an snake like motion, undulating up and down.

Reproduction

They reproduce by having tiny versions of themselves grow in their heads, eventually budding off. Others, like the burrarom, reproduce via spores.

Senses

Some more derived species, such as the oceanrorm, can sense taste their surroundings, but all have a very basic sense of touch.

Size

They are all rather small, with all ranging under 10 centimeters.
