The northern triwalker split from its ancestor, the tower diveskunik. While its body plan has not changed much from its ancestor, it has adapted a radically different stance. Diveskuniks which were taller and could reach farther into the glasstower's fruit were favored, and this started an arms race with the glass tower. When the glasstowers began to mutate so that the fruits were smaller and more numerous, it had to change accordingly. All top three appendages are used to pick glasstower fruits, and have split at the end, to pick fruits more rapidly and sometimes to harvest two glasstowers at the same time. Its long legs help it reach the fruits, and to move across the largely sparse biomes it inhabits between groups of glasstowers. They reproduce much like their ancestors, except instead of males knocking the other's eyes out with their arms, they will try to knock the other male down onto the ground, where it can take a long time for a triwalker to stand back up.
