The terrestrial serpentsaur has replaced its ancestor, and has moved onto land completely. It no longer lays soft eggs, but hard shelled eggs that can be lain on land. With no more need to be around the muddy waters along the coast, the serpentsaur uses its color changing abilities to stay the same color as the violetgrass on the Savanna. This allows it to sneak up on its prey,and attack it with its spikes. As well, the serpentsaur have grown two additional "fins" that lower the time it takes for its prey to succumb to its attack, by increasing the number of wounds. Finally, with water organisms out of its diet, the serpentsaur has completely abandoned its long jaw for a shorter, more rounded shape.
