The Stagged Mephit (Mephit ceryneian, "Ceryneian mephit") — also called the HiHat — is a stack of cloned clam-like molluscs adapted to survive in very hot water near hydrothermal vents. The clams are arranged vertically on a central stalk that is actually a symbiotic worm living inside the colony. Each clam is an individual clone of the founding organism. Found in the Graveyard biome near vent structures, passive, and harmless.

Notes
Behavior: Completely passive. Sessile colony organism near hydrothermal vents in the Graveyard.
Tips:
- Requires Heat Tolerance Adaptation to safely reach the Graveyard — the heat from nearby vents will damage an unprotected Pioneer.
- Scan the Stagged Mephit colony structure to add its PDA entry; the vertical stacked-clam silhouette is immediately recognizable.
