Clam-plants
In the Eastron and Kitnelta oceans, there exists a thermo-chemo-photo-wind synthesis occurring within a single organism. We already have mimiscus, a mollusk-worm that hardens like bones, mimiscus-dandelion that generates static electricity, mollusk that stores fruit or seeds, and slime. We have considered plants with amber or resin-like attributes, as well as fungal slime or protein filaments. These filaments absorb water, grow with nutrients, and use hormones, but they are not hair. They grow off clams and resemble long grass. The filaments compete with Worm-grass. The shelled "mollusks' ' that are also found in freshwater environments grow to large sizes and have protein filaments growing from the shell. Hair is not as hard as stems, but its structure determines this. Perhaps the "mollusk" outgrew its shell, covered the shell with flesh, and subsequently developed hair. Hair can function as tubes to filter water. Metal that transforms into hair becomes straw-like. Metal combined with protein filaments creates tube-like structures. Some terran mollusks possess feathers. These filament-like "feathers'' could filter aquatic environments to some extent but increase vulnerability to predation. The fur could actually provide protection to the outer shell layer of flesh, causing the filaments to tangle and shed. The feathers, if at the bottom, may act as an additional defensive layer and further filter the environment, potentially braiding the filaments to prevent tangling. Furthermore, nutrients gathered by the filaments could also be processed by the feathers.
Water. Filament. Feathers. Flesh. Shell. Holes in the shell, or holes in the shell if it contains hair inside. Powering the filaments involves a symbiotic relationship with algae that get caught in the hair, or with slime that the filaments can grasp easily, enabling passive feeding. The slime aids in digestion or energy conversion and is internal to the organism. If the "clam" were a true "plant," it would likely be stationary, possibly burrowing. It would possess glue, a shell at the bottom, tentacles, another set of shells, tentacles, more glue, sediment or algae, dirt, and tentacles with wide suction cups at their ends, which are sticky. Possibilities include the evolution of setae. While Earth's octopuses possess suctions, this is not Earth, so the aforementioned characteristics could be the original form of the Mulikhund.
Mulikhund creatures initially had sections: suctions. In their original form, the clam-like creature described above possessed body parts for photosynthesis. The suction cups transformed into leaves as the creature grew larger. It had a vascular nature, a viral-synthesis mechanism, and a chlorine-based nature. The suction cups or bulbs helped with distributing pressure throughout the body, and the organism had tentacles resembling those of jellyfish with suction cups on top. Its reproductive method was asexual. Photosynth worms are more asexual, using fragmentation and acting as parasitic grass. Carnivorous grass was invented some time ago, but it will be discussed later. Inside the clam, there should be jellyfish-like flesh, a specialized type of tissue, and sponge-like tissue. The creature's structure can be graphed as follows: 5 ft water, 4 ft suction leaves, 3 ft tentacles, 2 ft protein filaments, 1 ft feathers, 0 ft sponge, -1 ft slug-like flesh, -1.5 ft shell (with holes), 3 internal filaments, a junction that regulates pressure like an organ or lever room, jellyfish-like tissues in the lever room, and -2 ft holes in the shell.
Feathers and protein filaments compete for suction in the ground, acting as anchors. Chemosynthesis plants release fluid that is similar to that of vascular plants, although it is water-based and only wets the leaf without squirting out. The shelled plant discharges eggs using seed dispersal, similar to the ecballium, to protect its suctions from creatures that seek to consume it. Possibilities for the plant's characteristics include jellyfish-like stingers, shell-like structures for the leaf, folding and closing like an anemone, and having a layer of algae covering it. The algae may even be a type of fungus that places the leaf inside the filament layer upon contact, establishing a symbiotic relationship. Photosynth worms are dominated by the clam, similar to the relationship between a sundew and its sub tentacles. A mechanism for pumping out seeds exists, and the organism also produces oxygen, impacting the soil.
