Dracula Sawgnaw

The dracula sawgnaw split from its ancestor the sawgnaw and moved to Flisch-Krakow Boreal. Since life was harder up there it diversified its diet. It not only will eat the bark of the piling carnofern, tannenbaum carnofern and solar carnofern but will also eat the snowbelly and cracking pipent. It will use its large teeth and tail spikes to impale its victim. Which is why its is called Dracula after Vlad Dracula the impaler.

It has grown larger to help retain heat in the colder climate and has a black back to absorb heat from the sun to keep it warm. It it gets too hot it can lay on its back and show its white belly. It no longer has its front limbs but has strong hoofed legs which are great for climbing. They have a red crest which can be lifted up and down to signal each other. They are completely deaf and only communicate through these signals. They have a good sense of smell and can smell sick or injured prey to attack. They travel in small herds and mainly eat bark but will hunt when times are hard like in the winter.

They make nests out of fallen leaves for its eggs to be laid in, which it will sit on until they hatch. Once born they will raise the young by feeding them pre-chewed bark and meat. They will mate for life and live in herds of 10 to 20. Like its ancestor it kept the sexual dimorphism of the red spots around its eyes as well as a bigger set of bony nostrils for the males. The eggs hatch in the spring so they can grow up in the warmer period of the year.
