Fusing Protist - Seal Like

Overview
Not many protists are found on Vispericulum. The few species that do exist dominate their microscopic world. However, there are a few protists that are not microscopic. This protist is no exception, being the size of the average seal!

Daily Life
These protists happen when an amoeba fusing protist has a mutation while dividing. This forces them to consume other creatures of their same species. They grow and change as they consume, growing pseudopods and a stalk, becoming a ray, and then becoming a seal like creature. As a seal, it only consumes minerals, not other protists.

Adaptations

 * When the time comes, 2 seal like protists combine. One becomes a protective, cocoon like covering, the other becomes a kind of pupa. Over time, a kind of sea plant covers the pupa, allowing it to metamorphose into a certain kind of clam. If this is interrupted, the plant will burst open and the pupa will split into many amoeba fusing protists. Photo of pupa is below.
