Why it evolved
With increased food and resource availability, selection favors individuals that can rapidly grow and reproduce to exploit the surplus. The Geyser Bloom, benefiting from the stable geothermal heat and mineral-rich water of its habitat (a key WORLD condition), has evolved larger size and a more vigorous growth cycle. This specialization comes at the cost of increased dependence on the specific micro-environments around geothermal vents, making it vulnerable to localized vent inactivity or extreme mineral concentrations.
