The assprint split from its ancestor. When there were no more medium or large herbivores in the desert, the grassprint immediately took on that niche. It became twice their size and it walks on four, long legs that now have wooden hooves and claws. In order to live in the desert, it had to adapt by being able to go with out food for 2 weeks and water for 1 week. Its crest has also become longer and filled with blood, which helps by having hot blood travel to the crest and get cooler. Its wings have also become bigger, which also distributes the heat in its body. Its skin now matches the rusty-red sand in its habitat.

In order to defend against predators like lizardworms, they now live in herds consisting of 15-30 members that look out for each other. Within their herds are a male leader and the lower members of the group that are both male and female. However the leader is the one that gets the most breeding rights except during times when there are few members in a herd. When herds get too large, the leader shun out the lowest members of the herd to start a herd of their own. They still run quite fast, which allows them to escape slower predators.
