Ancestor:Descendants:

The Prancerhorn split from its ancestor, the Triplethorn Bounder. They have grown larger and has lost another butt-nostril to help it sing its own unique song to mates. They still use their echolocation at night and in the darkness of the canopy. Two of their horns now form antlers that males use to clash beaks to fight over females. Unlike their ancestor they tend to stride slower, but can bound away like their ancestor. When impressing a female they will prance around on their long legs and showing off their antler-like beak-horns (which don't shed).They are no longer migratory and stay in the Rainforest. Like their ancestor they have specialized in black flora. They are very skittish and tend to avoid Shrog dwellings but for an unknown reason are attracted to Wolvershrogs. Their relatives the Pronghorn Strider live in the same biome. While it's possible for them to interbreed it is extremely rare due to their different mating rituals. Those that are born are sterile. Mixed herds of both are common and they tend to travel together in the rainforest. Prancerhorn's are slightly taller and as a result they tend to eat higher branches than their cousins.
