Ancestor:Descendants:

The tree dweller replaced its ancestor, the cave dweller. They have left their life in the caves and have followed the fernplents to the rainforest. Rather than shaking leaves down like their ancestors they now use their spade front legs to climb up the tree like a lumberjack. The sharp front spades and spiked tail piece the bark allowing it to stay firmly on the side of the tree. This makes bleeding sappy holes in which the skimming sapsuckers love to eat. They are much smaller so they do not weigh as much in the branches. However like their ancestors they are quite strong. Their tail alone can hold its entire body weight if needed.

They spend almost all their time in the trees and only come down to drink, mating and nesting. Their nests however tend to be made in between the roots of the trees an are made up of the leaves they eat. They lay 2 to 3 eggs. Females will sit on the eggs while the male collects leaves for its family. Each mating pair belong to an extended family of about 10 to 12. This group will travel together from grove to grove feeding.

Their color-changing ability is very limited, with only the head changes color, and even then only for interspecies communication. Normally it stays green to blend in with the leaves they eat but will appear as a bright red if there is trouble.
