This digger hatchling has already already been colonised by two anthropoid creatures. Although originally the anthropoids were thought to be parasitic, it has since been accepted that this is more of a symbiotic relationship. The exact nature of the symbiosis is yet to be discovered, but it has been observed that uncolonised diggers become sluggish, unresponsive, and prone to developing rust spots.
