The polar diveskunik split from its ancestor, the diveskunik. Its closely related to the grazing diveskunik, coming from the same small group of diveskuniks that began to live outside of their cryobowls and forage for food. However, while the grazing diveskunik spread out over Drake and adapted for their role, the diveskuniks kept to their territorial lifestyles, hunting for food around their individual cryobowls. However, pressure from grazing diveskuniks out competed the diveskuniks, and forced them to migrate out of Drake all together. Adapting quickly to the cold climate of the North Polar Glacier, they soon spread out across Northern Barlowe. Their tentacles have become shorter and now act as legs, the diveskunik walking by moving their first pair of legs forward, then their second pair, and then their last pair. Their fat lumps have grown longer and more numerous, including new lumps that grow on their sides and hang down from the body. With no cryobowls to spawn in, they wait till spring to spawn in puddles of snowmelt.
