Ancestor:Descendants:

The swift hookphlyer replaced its ancestor, the xeno hookmouth phlyer. With all the other competition for food from other marine species it had to return to the air where it specialized in eating the nectascooter. They either sit waiting on or fly around lurehums, waiting for the nectascooter to get nectar from them. They even sleep on the lurehum and never need to return to shore.

Their wings have gotten darker to help heat them up faster in the polar weather. Their body coloration are purple and blue to blend in with the lurehum. Their wooden beaks are used to snap up nectascooters as they swoop on by. They use their large eyes to spot them from long distances.

They care for their young in nests that are made on the sails of the lurehum. They use strips of other lurehums or even polar hummroot along with their own sticky spit to weave the nest. Each nest can hold about 2 to 3 offspring along with a parent. Each parent takes turn feeding the other as they stay to watch the nest. When the offspring get old enough to fly they leave the nest.
