Ancestor:Descendants:

The dune capiri replaced its ancestor, the rocky capiri in the dunes. It has adapted to life in the dunes by having webbs between its toes to keep it sinking into the sand. Also it has developed hairs around its compound eyes and nostrils. Since food is scarce it has also adapted saliva that can dissolve the sticky goo of the flightberry.

Their bodies cannot change color but their sails can. They can make pulsing circles which can shift in color and speed. For instance, bright yellow with fast flickering means danger while orange to red with slow to no cycles is when they are calm; this helps them blend in. Blues and greens with fast cycles mean they are ready to mate. Purple means they are scared or are hiding within the purple flora. Black with red means they are challenging another for a mate, while white means they are sick. Their most amazing defense is that they can flash colors really fast and cause epileptic seizures in would-be predators who try to eat them.

Their compound eyes can see in the normal spectrum as well as infrared. The heat is used to see each other in the dark as well as any predators who might prey on them. They also can pick up details and subtle cues from the flashing colored sails. These eyes are immune to their epileptic color seizure attacks.
