Project 06/29 is the ecosystem in
North-West hemisphere of Arrakis
Ambrelosia Plant




Coverage for the lake
Slow growth-rate in order
to conserve energy
Most energy goes into

Stalkinger Spider




It lives on or near
Luminati plant
It paralyzes its prey by

Eats Turcoons by
injecting digestive
enzymes
Uses Turcoons body as
