Ancestor:Descendants:

The cuddlebug phlyer split from its ancestor, these huge phlyers use the Global Glacier purely for raising young. The membrane for their wings will contract when not in use to lower its surface area and keep warm, when in use the membrane size can be adjusted by moving the wings forward and backward. Their huge wing muscles fill their chest and allow them to stay airborne for days on end, much of the rest of their torso is hollowed out by their lungs and air-sacs to keep their body light,although they have a layer of fat to keep them warm. Most of their skin is dark to keep warm, but the tops of their wings and their back are dark photosynthetic green. Their front legs are still used to hold their young, and their hind legs are still used mainly for shoving their bodies across the glaciers. They use their deadly lances to puncture and carry their prey, they will often carry several small kills at once. They will either use their tongues to pull pieces of their kills into their mouth to bite off or carry the food back home to the edge of the glaciers.
