Dude, there is a big problem with your submission. The Gushlych only survives in the Maineiac Polar Beach and the Fermi Polar Beach. Those two biomes are not close to Barlowe or Hydro.

Getting on the dwellings of seafaring shrog (e.g., Seashrogs, Wolvershrog) ships can vastly increase an organism's potential range. Wolvershrogs do occur on the Maineiac Polar Beach habitat and Barlowe habitats. However, Barlowe Temperate Beach seems to no longer exist as of Week 26. You may have meant "Oz Temperate Beach".

If this does get on Wolvershrog ships, you'll have to mention that, and ideally give it an explanation. You could make one of its hosts the Wolvershrog, since Wolvershrogs are Carpozoans.

You're right, that is a big error on my part. Further, the fact that the sands aren't rusty red in either in its extant habitats like in Barlowe and Hydro would make a lithotrophic lifestyle harder for the haplotokes and larvae.

The only way it could do that is if it hitched onto one swimming and got on to its nest that way, since its limb morphology would make them poor climbers. Alternatively, it could hitch onto Tilepillars to do the same from Fermi, like I did with the Shell-riding Shocker.

Yeah to be viable a rewrite to make them attach to Shrogs seems the best bet

The description was amended, and the picture has been updated reflecting how the haplotokes result in miniature adults rather than lithotrophic larvae since the coasts and the beaches they live near are non-ferruginous (or at least not as ferruginous as the habitats with rusty-red sand).
