Hopzilla

The hopzilla split from its ancestor, the king sprintzilla. Due to competition with the baron sprintzilla, smaller king sprintzilla's where forced to retreat from hunting to save themselves from being eaten. Because of this, those small King Sprinzilla's quickly became small, fast, hunters. From their sudden shrinkage and loss of weight, they started to experiment with jumping and using their toe claws to scratch their pray. These habits grew until this became their main hunting style. The hopzilla now hops to get around and has long curved claws that can flex down. The hopzilla can still walk, but only for very short distances. The hopzilla's leaves have grown larger and have developed more muscles to allow them to point almost straight out and its jaws have grown larger to kill its pray. The hopzilla will search for pray for long periods of time. When it finally finds pray, the hopzilla will slowly walk towards it until it is at a good distance from the pray. The hopzilla will then squat down and make a powerful jump towards the pray. Then it flexes its leaves down to glide for possible a meter. Finally the hopzilla will fall on to the pray and dig its claws into the prays torso and or head and take one death bite at the prays neck. If they fail the first time, the hopzilla will chase after it and jump in motion to try to get it again. The hopzillas are still solitary creatures, but are not as aggressive towards each other. They are known to make stampedes when frighten by large predators. During mating season, male hopzillas will try to scare off other competitive males by flexing their leaves and roaring at them, but they will break into a fight if that fails.
