The greater slipskunik replaced its ancestor the slipskunik on Global Glacier. It has doubled in size and have become even more aggressive. Its spade flippers have become serrated to help it grip the ice and better dig tunnels. Their skin has become tougher to help it defend against glacial predators like the glacial limbless and glacial sauceback.
Like their ancestors they get around by sliding in the ice They will aggressively keep other creatures from digging any ice tunnels into the glacier or taking over their own. They are in high concentrations around the entire rim for the glacier where most of the micro-flora grows. Their tunnels are rather shallow due to how hard the ice is to dig through. They will spawn in glacial pools that form on the top of the glaciers. After spawning they will bring their offspring food until they can leave the pool and join the herd.
During the day they spend most of their time at the surface sunning themselves. However during the night or when the weather is bad they will return to their tunnels. While normally slow they can actually pick up speed when sliding down slopes and will even have bursts of speed when escaping or charging.
