Ancestor:Descendants:

Aside from getting smaller, the stickyball fortresscrab is almost an exact replica of its ancestor. Its main difference is in its behavior. The stickyball fortresscrab gets its name from its odd method of building its nests. It will go out and collect superstickyballs, and use them as a type of "brick" to build its home. In between these "bricks" it will place mud and leaves, glued together by the sticky "juice" from the superstickyballs, as well as its own webbing. The stickyball fortresscrab has also developed a type of corrosive chemical that works exclusively on the superstickyballs' sticky "juice". This chemical allows it to handle the things that it works with to build its home. These 20 foot high towers are used as homes for the stickyball fortresscrabs, as well as "beacons" of sorts, alerting animals all over the place that they are coming into fortresscrab territory, and they will not stand it. For the stickyball fortresscrabs are also extremely hostile, and if any animal comes into what they consider their territory, they will be swarmed, and usually killed. As well as this, the stickyball fortresscrabs will destroy the vegetation around them, giving the superstickyballs that they live in symbiosis with a bigger area to grow. Due to these advancements, the stickyball fortresscrab has replaced its ancestor.
