• Evolution is funny.
• Generation after generation of Fillipods were naturally selected forr stalks capable of ever-stronger Van Der Waals forces. Basically, for reasons of diet.
• [Fillipod whistles]
• The Winter Tilla fruit has an amazing combination of protein, carbs, and vitamins... but has a tree bark that's glass-smooth, and impossible to climb.
• Fillipod: [thinks] (Dang.)
• Fillipod: [thinks] (Dang.)
• Hence the natural selection toward Van Der Waals forces: The Fillipods who could climb... could live to breed.
• Fillipod: Hey! Um, grab me one while you're up there?
• Fillipod: You're on your own, champ.
• It's an ability that's kept them alive for thousands of years.
• And, oddly enough, did so again when their planet was cracked in half... and every Tesskan alive was flung 30 meters in the air.
• Fillipod: [thinks] (Hey now)

Trivia

• Geckos and arthropods make use of Van der Waals forces for climbing, much like the Fillipods.
