Ancestor:Descendants:

The sindread split from its ancestor and grew to greater size, thanks to island gigantisim. The sindread has evolved not only by becoming larger, but its tail is now used to balance its entire body, it has evolved more spines that protect it from the phlice while it is still young, and it has evolved a long crest and more warts to impress potential mates. The sindread lives in a pack of 4-7 members that are led by an alpha female and they hunt for tamjacks and tamkor young. When they hunt for tamkors, a few of them provoke the adults into following them, while the other ones remaining will tear their way into the huts for the young tamkors and drag them off to be torn apart by the pack. While they prefer to eat tamkors and tamjacks, they will occasionally eat phlices and sindohves if they have to. Due to them living exclusively on land, they no longer have webbed feet and they are used for sprinting after prey.

Males tend to be 1 meter shorter than females. During mating season, females that are grown up enough will leave the pack and seek out males to mate with and dominate. The females will start their pre-mating rituals by showing off their crests and shaking the flopping warts around their face and neck. Then they start gnashing at each other with their wooden teeth and beaks until one gives in. Then the winner will take the male in and start their new packs. These starting packs tend to consist of one female and two males that it mates with. Unlike its ancestor, the sindread is superfecund, which means that it can have offspring that come from different fathers at the same time. After mating, the female will seek out any abandoned tamkor huts to use as a nest for its young. The sindread gives birth to 3-4 offspring that one of the males will raise, while the female and the other male will hunt for food. During this time, the roles between the two males will switch with each other until the offspring are old enough to hunt as well.
