Camoback

The Camoback split from its ancestor the Pebbleback after gaining a more predatory lifestyle and several adaptations to fit this. The first of these adaptations is the hardening of its eggs, something which has allowed it to live much more inland than its ancestor could ever have gone. As well as this, it has also lost the armour on its back, as being the only true predator in its respective biomes, it has no need of it.

The Camoback also has several adaptations to accommodate its predatory lifestyle. The first of these is camouflage, allowing it to go unnoticed by its prey until it is far too late. As well as this, its legs are longer and are better suited for sprinting, allowing it to easily outpace its prey. Furthermore, the scent organs of the Camoback are better developed, and its eyes are closer to the front of its head, both of which are adaptations to further aid in seeking prey.

Due to the high amounts of food they need to survive, Camobacks are very territorial and fights amongst them are not uncommon. While they tend to travel individually, large groups of them will gather during the mating season, in which they will communicate using their dewlap. Individuals tend to live for around 15 years, reaching full maturity by the age of 6.
