But upon closer inspection you would notice the heap of treats is actually comprised of tiny jelly-like creatures with colorful “candies” embedded in their surfaces. Still, it’s hard to resist just picking one up and plopping it into your mouth. Mutually Assured Deliciousness. Sweetipedes thrive on bacteria usually found in the gastrointestinal microbiomes of certain creatures that require such means to properly absorb nutrients from food. Not only do sweetipedes appear delectable, but they are also, in fact, pleasantly sweet to most of these creatures. Soon after consuming a sweetipede, however, the creature feels its effects as it ravenously eats their gut bacteria. Candy Clash. Sweetipede colonies vary in flavor from colony to colony. They are also quite insular and can react violently if brought within close proximity of another colony. Both colonies would attempt to consume each other until just one stands, with the combined flavors of both colonies. B a ck T o T o p
