The rippletail replaced its ancestor. Due to competition from other marine organisms, the rippletail had to evolve into a more efficient swimmer. To do this, the rippletail has a longer and more flexible tail that allows it to swim faster than the tilehorn. Along with the long tail, the rippletail also has stronger and bigger front legs that help it navigate through the thick symbioraft diaminet roots and its nostrils have relocated to near the top of its head. It seldom goes on land, due to there being little need to do so. Its horn has also reduced due to a lack of use. It digs a hole in the sands of the coasts, lays its eggs in there, and leaves the young to fend for themselves. Other than these changes, it is similar to its ancestor.
