Ancestor:Descendants:

The Dixon Hookphlyer split from its ancestor, the Snapperbeak Hookphlyer. It has moved inland following the rivers. While they mainly feed on Minikruggs and Scuttlers, they feed on various smaller prey as well. When they cannot find live prey they will also scavenge on carrion. Due to the lack of many other flying phlyers, they have become highly prolific and form huge flocks. They build their nest mostly in trees or cliff faces, which use a special type species of marbleflora with very sticky sap to hold flora leaves together. This mableflora co-evolved with them and thus they help spread it across Dixon. Mating pairs raise their offspring in these nests. They take turns being back food to the nest.
