Floater
Picture
Databank entry
Two species living in symbiosis, which attach to and attempt to feed on any objects they come into contact with.
1Dominant Lifeform
The pink main body and inner suction jaw is the dominant creature. Once attached to an organism or other stable surface it will attempt to leech nutrients in order to grow.
2Microorganism Membrane
The outer, gel-like substance is a mesh of microorganisms capable of forming a sealed vacuum around the creature's jaws.
3Helium Buffer
A thin layer of helium is stored within the outer membrane, providing buoyancy to the floater and anything it is attached to.
