The bottom of the food webs everywhere was accompanied by Thaumofunghi, which were organisms resembling the flowering parts of Funghi and harvesting energy from the magical fields through Thaumosynthesis. The more advanced members of these areas evolved from other species or independently and then become Thaumovores by growing a Thaumic Orb. The best know of these are the Dragons who derive most of their energy by Thaumosynthesis while they are sleeping but still need protein to grow. As they get older they need less and less Protein and sleep more and more, sometimes long enough for the Geology and other species around them to permanently seal them into cavern complexes. Most other species that are "magical" in nature are Thaumovores, which allows proliferation of life underground, independent of Photosynthesis-based bases to the food web, such as grass and plants, or even phytoplankton. It is explained in SM05 The World Guide to Barnaynia or in our blog here: <a href="https://dunrominuniversitypress.com/blog/2020/05/14/feeding-the-beasties-deep-down-in-the-depths/" target="_blank">Blog - Feeding the beasties deep down in the depths... - 15 May, 2020 - The Fabulous City of Dunromin</a> [ATTACH=full]389208[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
