The original idea was to make a burrowed creature named Undersea crab. Do not ask how I've got there :D

Now let's analize the synergies

Unupped can be used in a death from below deck, where a few Tunneling, Graboids and Antlions are used as killing option, the generated quanta can be used to Empathic bonds, but that does not seems to be viable atm.

 :life:earth duo is quite evident, but there's no duo rush out of these elements, mostly because mono- :life seems to be faster. Can help normal  :life rush, by allowing it to use some EQ, that fits better to the upped.

Upped could work in  :life + :darkness duo too, where can generate  :earth to Burrow Pest or use Stone form on Gargoyle without making it a real trio, and affected by Nightfall/Eclipse. With Eclipse, it can be a 5|4 attacker or a 2|4 burrowed attacker or can be used as better quanta distribution (slight similarity to locket, but there after an amount,  :earth will be useless).

These are my thought in synergy. And it does not trigger death effects, when unburrows, burrows, statuses remains... etc.
