Data Bank Entry

An adaptation of the common eyeye, evolved to inhabit high temperature environments.

Thermal Camouflage:
Deep red and orange coloration enables this subspecies to blend into volcanic environments.

It is unclear whether the evolutionary ancestors of the eyeye subspecies originated in high temperature environments and later evolved to survive in cooler waters, or vice versa. Either way, that such a slow, defenseless organism has survived in any environment suggests some ecosystem role that is as yet unexplained.
