The tropoworm replaced its ancestor. It is basically a more advanced version of its predecessor; it works in all the same ways its ancestor did but as they are now preyed upon by the deadly cloud wormsnapper they fly in flocks to follow the safety in number principle. They can be seen as large clouds of worms, sometimes with cloud wormsnappers circling around.
