Ancestor:Descendants:

The dawn thief split from its ancestor and is not too different from it. Some dawn scrapers had learned that tunnels in the ice could lead to an easy meal consisting of onyroslee eggs; however most tunnels were too long for the dawn scraper to explore them, thus the dawn thief evolved.


They have evolved longer and stronger front legs to drag it through the tunnels and as the tusks no longer are needed they devolved; their body has gotten more slender to help with this. They have evolved a more prominent lower jaw to tilt the onyroslee eggs into its mouth, their tail has become stronger to allow it to flee fast from anything that may chase them as they now are quite vulnerable because of their reduced size. Apart from these differences the dawn thief is quite like its ancestor: they still return to land to breed, which they do once every year, during the warmer summer months (in order to keep their young out of the colder waters of the later seasons). They will raise their young in narrow cracks in allen ice cave until it is old enough to take care of itself.
