Leatherback Pipent

Having split from its ancestor, leatherback pipent has adapted to land and is beginning to thrive in newly devastated Western Drake. Having adapted to feeding on the plentiful flora and available fauna, it has spread over a good portion of all the land. Its nails have fused together, provided it with enough support to stand upright, and has developed a thick leathery skin on its back to protect it, especially females, during the mating season when they compete amongst one another for the best potential male mates, which are in a ratio to the females of 1-12. They mate once every two years, and the young are born several months later and cared for by the mother until they are old enough to survive on their own.

They have evolved tail spikes in order to defend themselves and as well as for females to use while combating one another over a mate. They are amphibious and capable of swimming, and because of this they have been able to form four separate breeding colonies on Day, Dacmat, and Dev Tundra Islands, as well as several minor ones on the mainland.
