Ancestor:Descendants:

The salt puff split off the snow puff and inhabited the western shores of Glicker. They have adapted to the empty beach biomes mainly by becoming slightly higher to helps its puffy spores be carried by higher winds, and by evolving a new organ called the stalk-sack. This organ is placed bellow the upper leaves and stores all the unneeded salt the plant gets from the water. The plant will eventually die off because they can no longer contain more salt in their salt-sack, but this gives them the needed 4-5 year lifespan they need in order to reproduce and rule the beach.
