The evolved form of the Glund. It gained a passive camouflage that mixed well with the moss and dirt. They also grew small spikes on their armored shell. This let them roll better as deter predators from biting them.
==== Ground Glund ====

<br />-> Nesting Glund]]

Due to the Pod Yantar's radiation, some Glund lost their legs and started burrowing underground. They used their powerful muscles to wriggle in the soil. Their gums developed into strong tentacles to shovel the soil. Their teeth developed into hooks with tubes to ingest roots and nutrients. After eating irradiated Yantar roots, they evolved special cells to harness the energy. Their stomachs brake down minerals with strong acids and the harnessed energy. In time their bodies grew longer improving the efficiency of their digestion, and leaving more minerals intact for their host plant. Females started digging birthing cambers near the Yantar's roots so that their young would harness enough energy in their own cells.
==== Nesting Ground Glund ====

<br />-> None Known]]

The Glund evolved new nesting behaviors. They dug interconnected tunnels that branched away from their host plant, and created large birthing chambers beneath the plant. They feed from soil away from the Yantar. After many generations, the Ground Glund started to metabolize the Yontar toxin into energy or concentrated secretions. Many beneficial mutations divided the Glund population into different classes, such as: Queen, Solider, and Worker class. Females became larger and birthed more mature spawn. The Glund Queen sits in the birthing chamber and feeds on male Glund until death. The Queen will feed for three days and give birth to up to ten Glund. New Females feast on the old Queen and take her place. Soldiers protect the nest and workers abroad. The first Soldiers had hollow tendrils with mandibles to inject toxins or suck bodily fluids. Some Soldiers evolved different mouths, a combination of mandibles and spinnerets. These Soldiers create low-hanging webs with warning line that alert Solider pits. In response to invading Flouz tongues, the mandibles became serrated to cause more damage. Most Workers gather minerals and energy for the Queen. Some Workers evolved a suction cup mouth to consume slime. As a result their bodies bloat with toxin and energy. On the surface, they are slow and caught by predators. They eat the Bloated Glund and are poisoned. When Storms flooded the Yantar plants, some Bloat Glunds feed on the water. They combined water with slime to make glucose. Either deviation is fed to the Queen and Soldiers for their own energy needs.
==== Poison Glund ====

<br />-> Shield Glund]]

Due to their diet of Poison Evola, the Glund have gained a resistance to its poison. Their pigment changes and they start secreting the poison through their spikes. Their antennae grew longer and electrically sensitive. They used their new senses to locate Mevola. To eat the Mevola they anchored their tail running the plant's current to ground. During the minor ice age, the Glund grew bigger and thickened their carapace. Adult Glund grew serrated horns which they used to take down plants and opponents. They used their increased size and toughness to raid Ground Glund nests in times of scarcity. In time their antennae were replaced with distributed small hairs and forward eyes. Their anchoring tail grew a poisonous blub to inject via tail spike strikes.
