The xenobees genus group has replaced its ancestor, the woolly xenobee along with its relative, the bloodbee. This group consists of batworms that are known for pollinating flowering plants or feeding on mucus that is excreted from other organisms. Some are coated in fuzz that keeps them warm, others have sharp spines that are used for defense. But they all create hives that their young are raised inside of. The nectarivorous xenobees' hives are full of honey and are more complex than those created by mucivorous xenobees. They have lip-like appendages on their cloacas, which allow them to reproduce with kissing each other.
