Splitting from it's ancestor, the timid phlock has shrunken in size and has evolved a body plan unique to its phlyer ancestors. Capable of standing bipedal for short periods of time, it lives in small groups of four to five individuals. It uses this trait, while in a group, to keep lookout for potential predators or rival groups while the rest of its group continues to feed in relative peace. In order to fully exploit its extremely bountiful and fast-growing food source, it has become a fast breeder. Its young leave their mother's after a week, after which they will hide amongst the gloglend and towerglobes.
It has evolved spear-like claws to pierce its food source, after which it cleans its claws with its modified beak. Typically feeding on the mass mini-forests of stalkglobes, it will also feed on the colonialballs that regularly wash ashore. It has also evolved its vestigial wings into a pair of sails for photosynthesis, as well as for display between the sexes. They are also extremely skittish, even running away from crashing of waves on the beach.
