The Mountain Pedesorm replaced the Armored Pedesorm where the two species overlap. They first appeared in Maineiac Boreal and then spread to all adjacent mountain and polar biomes with plenty of water and cold temperatures. They have grown dependent on glass flora to fortify their shell; this is partially because of the absence of dry shrubites in the biomes they occupy. They are well adapted to cold temperatures. Their skin has become darker to absorb more heat, they have doubled in size so they can store more heat, Their bodies are covered in a rather thick layer of fat, their eye-stalks are shorter to better protect them from the cold, they have developed eyelids to keep snow from getting in their eyes, and their claw-trunk is shorter in order to further reduce heat loss. Due to the rise in larger species, they have begun to eat more dung than plant matter. This is partially because their claw-trunk as grown shorter and thus, less useful. Their claw-trunk is still useful in cutting plant matter though, and they still eat it too. Due to their contrasting colors, they are rather easy to spot. This is countered by their rapid and seemingly constant breeding. They spend much of their time trying to reproduce due to the fact that their kind is constantly being eaten. If they can't find a place to bury their eggs, they will lay them inside of any form of large flora.
