Ancestor:Descendants:

The double-crested woodjaw replaced its ancestor and double in size. Living in small herds of 6-8 members, they feed on the various flora that dominate Barlowe Tundra. Each group is led by an alpha male which possesses the largest crests which signify its age and health. Should a predator challenge them, he will be the first one to challenge it. They have developed thick cone-like extensions that surround their ears, keeping them warm by trapping in air while also funneling sound. Their bones are also thicker, making them more sturdy and allowing them to support their great weight. Females are typically larger than males, though possess less prominent crests.
