Ear Clam

The Ear Clam is a plant-like organism discovered by Sara Mugnez on the 2018 Trappist Landing Expedition.

Biology
Ear Clams, in spite of the name, are a form of vegetation. They do resemble the clam in physical attributes, with a blue bioluminescent glow. If approached at, they will bury themselves underground at a rapid speed, making themselves incapable of contact. After some field tests, it's confirmed the plant only does this with fast movements, and senses its surroundings through vibrations emitted by other organisms.
