Ancestor:Descendants:

Yet another evolution of the stickyballs, the superstickyballs live up to their name. They have increased their stickiness tenfold, and now now is it not only difficult to remove them, it is almost impossible. Aside from their natural stickiness on their outsides, the superstickyballs have developed root-like structures on their underside, which seep even more "stickiness" than the rest of it. These roots, as spores, will actually dig into their host's skin (or bark, or scales, etc.), and grow attached to the creature (or plant) in question.

Quite possibly the biggest reason that the superstickyballs have been so successful is because the Stickyball Fortresscrabs will gather them up, and use them in building their nests. This is beneficial for the superstickyballs, because this area is usually dead or dying because of the aggressiveness of the fortresscrabs, making them use up all the resources in their territory, including plants, effectively getting rid of any competition that the superstickyball may have had. This allows the small superstickyball more space to photosynthesize. The fortresscrabs ignore the superstickyballs, only moving them when they need more material for their forts. Because of all these improvements, the superstickyball has replaced the stickyball on the Ovi-Hydro Plains.
