An inevitable death for the spiny sphere. Even with it’s spiked shell, it’s no match for the canines with an appetite for the spheres.
The soft tissue gets its blue color from the water hidden in pockets underground. Safe from predators and the perfect place to lay its eggs and letting the younglings grow.
When they have grown enough, they drill through the sand towards the heat which hardens the shell. They stay in the same place until they have enough nutrition to shed their spikes and ride the desert storms to find new pockets of water.
