Longcrest

The longcrest split from its ancestor, the capicrest, and moved to Barlowe Rocky. In this new environment, it has no natural predator, so it grew larger. Its legs are now connected higher on its body, so its center of gravity became lower, allowing for more balanced and stable movement. This, however, makes the movement itself very tiresome, so the longcrest needs to take more rests. The males' "horns" grew much bigger, and now resemble the vandriswoop and yenaptak leaves. This is used mainly during mating season, when the longcrest with the biggest horns is considered the most suitable. Big herds will mostly have one male with long horns and a few of a lower cast males who help him protect the herd from other herds' males. The longcrest has lost the ability to change its colors and the males and females share the same colors and features. The only difference between the two genders is that males are about 15 cm shorter than females, and that females have small stubs where the horns should be.
