Snowsculptor Janit

The snowsculptor janit split from its ancestor the sandsculptor janit. It now has a light blue coloration to blend in which the white sands and snow of West Wind Polar Beach. Its whole body has become more compact and fatter. Four of their 5 limbs have becomes big and around to help support their weight on the snow as well as store up fat. Their front limbs are still used for sculpting but they sculpt snow rather than sand. Even their eye-stalks have shortened to help retain heat. Like its ancestor they still mate through cloaca kissing. When snowsculptor janits are born they are female but turn into males after they reach full size. They can instinctively control this to keep the amounts of males and females equal. They cannot change back. Male snowsculptor janits use their front two pairs of legs to build small "snow castles", in which a female will later lay her eggs. It may seem odd to put the eggs in snow but these castles work like igloos and keep the eggs warmer than of they were left out in the open. When the mating season starts, each male will build its own structure, after which the females will choose the male with the most solid, and possibly also the most beautifully decorated, "snow castle". They will mate and the female will lay her eggs in a hole in the snow structure and leave. The male will tend to the eggs until they hatch, never going further than two meters from the nest. The young can survive independently from the moment they hatch.
