Symbiotic Relationship

Early on in their evolutionary process, the nikahae's ancestors became part of a symbiotic relationship with a species of fauna that had been brought into several colonies by returning gatherers. The plant species grew on the backs of the nikahae, and eventually its roots became intertwined with the nervous systems of the host. As they had yet to gain sentience, the evolutionary ancestors of today's nikahae largely ignored the plant, as it didn't harm the host. As the first sentient nikahae began to appear, they realized that the fauna actually benefited the host. Having the plant grow on their back allowed the host to absorb energy via photosynthesis. As a result, the nikahae are able to "feed" via the sun if sources of meat cannot be found. In return for this new ability, the nikahae provided the plant with a platform to grow on and a transport system with which it could spread its spores.
The process of the plant species connecting to the host's nervous system was also discovered to be a form of weapon during the Human-Nikahae War. Human hosts who were infected with the plant spores were turned mad by the plant after the connection had been made, as the process affected the human body dramatically differently than it did the nikahae's. These victims often times went insane, and all semblance of rational thought was lost. The infected were known to attack anything in sight that wasn't already infected with the plant, and the nikahae used this to their advantage during the war, deploying these mindless weapons into areas populated by humans.
