Binucleida's two largest lineages originated from a symbiosis. One organism produced a chitinous outer shell, and another provided a soft inner core. One of these lines is the [[Mineraluitesta|crystal flora]], in which the outer shell is usually photosynthetic and crystal-shaped; these dominate many of Sagan 4's photosynthetic niches.
 
The other line of symbiotic Binucleida is the [[Symbiozoa|binucleid worms]], in which the outer shell forms a segmented exoskeleton. The biggest group of binucleid worms is the [[ScutivermisScutivermida|knightworms]] (descendants of the [[Common Knightworm|common knightworm]]), which often resemble Earth's arthropods. They range from tiny crawlers to large creatures with legs, and they include two of the first fauna on land. They are mostly found around and on the western continent, Glicker. The next-biggest binucleid worm group is [[Heliovermis]] (descendants of [[Wormstem|wormstem]]), which are able to photosynthesize. They tend to have an animal-like juvenile phase and a plant-like adult phase. Heliovermes are mostly found on and around the eastern continent, Wright.
 
Carpozoa's biggest lineages are [[Luceremundaria]], which often have colorful bioluminescence and range from fish-like to cup-shaped, and [[Asterzoa]], a diverse group whose original body plan was shaped like a four-armed star.
