Ancestor:Descendants:

The gracilxata split from its ancestor. The onset of the swift sauceback upon the xatazelle prompted a mutual arms-race between the two species, resulting the gracilxata. Behavioral it is similar to its ancestor, albeit larger and faster. Males have fringes on their eye-ears, which help distinguish them; these fringes slightly mimic the leaves of the twin-tail orbibom, giving some rudimentary camouflage as well as attracting mates to them. Their body armor is slimmer and more segmented to decrease weight and increase flexibility. Their bodies are thinner also, making it harder for their chief predator to reach onto them while being chased. The pressure from the stride sauceback forced some groups of gracilxata into the Tropical Woodland, where their thin bodies made it easier for them to navigate the dense foliage.

Individuals live for 9 years.
