The rooteater gilltail split from its ancestors and now eats the roots of lurcups and sum-humgroves in Slarti Polar River and Slarti Salt Bog. They have turned gray so they can blend in with the roots of the lurcups and sum-humgroves. Their beaks have become sharper and they use them to gouge out pieces of the lurcup and sum-humgrove's roots. During their mating season, females will gouge out a large hole in their food source's roots and lay their eggs in it. This protects the eggs to a certain extent. the young start out as filter-feeders before eventually becoming rhizovores.
