Shipper Buoyskin

The shipper buoyskin split from its ancestor. Looking for warmer waters, some buoyskin ventured eastward into Elerd Coast, finding a niche as an agile ambush predator in the world of the far more massive scylarians. They work together in groups of 6-8 called "scrags" to take down larger prey or to make grabs at the young of said larger creatures. They are camouflaged against the symbioraft diaminet and other flora of the coasts, which they use to lie in wait for prey. Some shipper buoyskins have explored the waterways of Huggs; though their camouflage doesn't work they are still agile enough to catch prey there.

Individuals live for 10 years, with reproductive behavior similar to their ancestor. However, their new "scragging" behavior means that multiple mating pairs will share the same stretch of beach, working together to hunt but rearing their young separately.Vicious Volox (Neovolox aquilamimus)

Creator: TheBigL Ancestor: Cave Volox Habitat: Drake Water Table, Sublyme Limestone Caves Size: 75 cm Long Diet: Carnivore (Cavepedes, Blind Wingworm, Cavamari, Snapperworm, Sublyme Cavamari, Ylbershpelle Bubblehorn, Glowspike tadpoles, Signaltail tadpoles, Swordtail tadpoles, Cave Volox tadpoles) Reproduction: Frog-like Eggs Laid In The Water

The vicious volox split from its ancestor. Unlike its ancestor, it managed to re-evolve its distant ancestor's beak-mouth and spines due to atavism. It uses its beak to snatch its prey and consume it. Another great evolutionary difference between this and its ancestor is that it managed to re-evolve its lungs, which allow it to breath air, along with the water it breaths through its gills, and gives it a greater boost of oxygen that allows it to be a faster hunter than its ancestor and even leap out of the water to snatch blind wingworms. However, only adults have fully functional lungs, while the young have to develop theirs as they grow up.

Much like its ancestor, it is able to change colors to attract mates and hide itself from predators, but it also uses its color-changing to ambush its prey. The vicious volox is also territorial, so it uses its glowing spots to keep themselves away from each other as much as possible; otherwise, they bite each other until one of them dies. They lay numerous eggs, but many do not make it due to other predators eating them.Brutishelm Uksip (Uksip brutali)

Creator: Nergali Ancestor: Helmethead Uksip Habitat: Clarke Temperate Beach, King Tropical Beach, Javen Tropical Woodland, Javen Tropical Rainforest, Morokar Tropical Woodland Size: 17.4 cm Long Diet: Planktonivore, Liquivore (Vermees, Marbleflora, Sapworms, Supershrooms, Sunstalks, Pioneeroots, Pioneer Fuzzballs, Pixy Plyent, Magnificent Slaesosaurus, Crown-of-Thorns Plyent), Scavenger Reproduction: Sexual, Two Genders, Eggs into Temporary Nursery Burrow

The brutishelm uksip has split from its ancestor and moved up along the western half of the continent of Darwin. While extremely similar in terms of caste systems compared to that of their ancestors, what has changed is their lifestyle. No longer are they restricted to underground nests, but instead these creatures swarm in great numbers that form living columns of flesh that can be dozens upon dozens of feet in length, and tightly packed with countless warriors and harvesters. While they still take in some vegetation, they much prefer to hunt fauna, which they will swarm in mass. Few creatures can survive once en-swarmed, for the poison secreted by warriors causes a burning, blistering sting that incites more warriors to bite by releasing potent pheromones into the air. Within minutes, most smaller organisms can be consumed alive, though larger ones have a chance to escape into water sources where the swarm cannot follow.

Because of their highly mobile lifestyle, permanent nests are impossible, thus the swarm will instead dig out temporary ones from time to time, typically near a water source. Here the queens will then breed, and the resulting larvae will have to mature rapidly, at least into a form that can survive on land, which typically takes about three days, just quick enough so as to allow them to avoid being left behind when the swarm moves again. Any that are left behind, however, have the potential to start a new swarm as long as a viable queen is available.
