Ancestor:Descendants:

The Bubble-throated Eggsticker split from its ancestor. This Saganisuchian differs quite alot from the ancestor. The most notable difference is that the adults don't die as fast. It stopped cannibalizing each other as young, which caused them to be more plentiful. Instead of temporary pools, it lays eggs in more permanent pools of water. The females stay in their young, fish-like appearance to save maximum energy for reproduction. They don't feed themselves when they are adults- the males feed them instead. The males, when adults, stand upright, walking on two legs for better looking for prey. They are capable of eating food as adults now, specializing in small fauna like Kruggs. When feeding a female, it will regurgitate the "Chewed up" food it was grinding with the bony bumps in the mouth, functioning like teeth. They are still deaf, relying on their bubble-throats to impress females. During mating season, the males will be in the pools of water, showing the colorful blue-throat, impressing females. Once it has a mate, the male will pick up the female and travel around. During this time, the male eats a lot of food, while the female is preparing to lay eggs. When the female can lay eggs, the male makes sure it is in a safe environment, and has the females lay eggs all over the throat. The eggs stick to the male, with a sticky ooze, covering the blue colored throat. The females die after laying eggs, using all the energy it had, but the male continues to live on. The male will guard these eggs, constantly being in the water, but occasionally coming out for Kruggs. By the time the eggs hatch, the male will die, releasing a heat around it, which speeds up hatching of remaining unhatched eggs. The male provides food for the young Bubble Throated Eggstickers. They are poisonous like their ancestors, and when threatened, will show their yellow bellies. The adults have spots to signal poison before showing the belly.
