Origin
One of the oldest living Evolume lines. The species outlasted upheavals in coastal ecosystems thanks to an almost unchanged body plan and its ability to build minerals from the water into its shell.

Evolution
Line E-04: Ancient Shell
Trilobix → Carapanzer
Condition: life in a mineral-rich tidal zone.
Trilobix’s segmented plates gradually fuse into a broad protective shield. The mineral inclusions grow tougher, and the ancient knack for surviving dry spells is joined by magnetic navigation along the coastline.
