The spiked ferrumtine replaced its ancestor, the sharp ferrumtine. It is now immobile and is no longer a detritivore. Its has grown in size and has developed deadly spikes which keep soft microbes from getting too close to feed on them. Its spikes are made of iron which helps them stay strong and sharp. It still reproduces via mitosis.

Living Relatives (click to show/hide)

These are randomly selected, and organized from lowest to highest shared taxon. (This may correspond to similarity more than actual relation)

None found. Note that this does not necessarily mean it has no living relatives at all, but that, assuming all taxonomy is filled in, its entire phylum is extinct; any relatives it does have likely do not resemble it.
