These creatures were genetically altered on a large scale to become plants and mosses. The plants would serve as a food source for the herbivorous creatures, which in turn supplied the sentient Forerunners with meat. Thus, the species were able to maintain a stable biosphere. They were scrubby and set low to resist the wind. Some were in the form of gray-green bushes and others had stalks topped by spiky leaves with wrinkly looking fruits or pods beneath. | These creatures were genetically altered on a large scale to become plants and mosses.

The moss and lichens were orange and fibrous. They could move on their own and scratch markings in rocks with their roots from memory.<ref name="Halo: Silentium"/> | The moss and lichens were orange and fibrous.

They had also created a biological analog to the [[Domain]] through the use of memory spores, which when inhaled revealed the entire past of their species and why they were brought there. They saved this memory in the spores mosses because they found some of these memories too hard to bear; they also wished to leave the past behind them and live their own lives. They still went to the location of the spores whenever they wished to know about tradition or settle a dispute.<ref name="Halo: Silentium"/> | They had also created a biological analog to the [[Domain]] through the use of memory spores, which when inhaled revealed the entire past of their species and why they were brought there.

These Forerunners evolved on a small unidentified planet in the [[Large Magellanic Cloud]] satellite galaxy. Located near the center of the [[Tarantula Nebula]], the planet orbited a small, orange star and was the innermost planet in its four-planet system.<ref name="string8">'''Halo: Silentium''', ''String 8''</ref> | |||
Originally, the planet was barren and uninhabitable. The planet's crust had a large amount of radioactive ore and its ocean was rich with [[deuterium]]. [[Oxygen]], [[methane]], sulfur, and chlorophyll compounds were detectable on the world. The planet’s axis was perpendicular to its orbit. As such, the world never suffered with heavy winters or severe glaciations. The weather was consistent; it was typically cloudy on the world. There was infrequent but violent thunderstorms and heavy precipitation that would bring small amounts of snow to the planet's tallest mountains. The only ocean on the world was small and covered the southern polar region. Its [[water]]s were dense and salty, and filled with bitter minerals. All of water sources on the planet were contained in deep, clear, freshwater lakes. The planet's tallest, craggy mountain range was surrounded by massive freshwater lakes. A thin, lava dike had punctured one the the lakes and caused large amounts of flooding that shaped the terrain of the northern regions of a massive plain.<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''String 10''</ref> | |||
