Loafshell

The loafshell split from its ancestor, the glacial sauceback. Unlike its ancestor, the loafshell has a segmented carapace, which allows the loafshell more flexibility than its relatives, the sauceback. The loafshell's tailspike has also vanished, due to it lacking use. It has also become an ambush hunter with venom, when prey gets close enough, the loafshell leaps out and uses its downward fangs to inject a hemotoxin into its victim. Then it follows the scent of its dying prey; once it has caught up to its prey, the loafshell immediately devours its prey. The loafshell primarily fishes for seashellsnapper tadpoles, sailshell tadpoles, and falsejaw sauceback larva by the river. To prevent it from getting too cold from the water, the loafshell has lost most of its feathers on its legs. Another evolution that the loafshell has gone through is sexual dimorphism, the males have a spur on their leg, which is used in fights for mates, while the females do not. The loafshell is also oviviparious, which means that offspring develop inside of eggs that are retained within the mother's body until they are ready to hatch and are born live. This is an important adaptation against the egg krugg.

The larvae have also evolved in their own ways. The larvae no longer need to be in the water to survive and instead, the adults release their young near rotting carcasses. The larva has a thick, segmented shell on its back, which protects it from predators. The loafshell larva also has fully developed ears that look just like their parents' ears, this helps the larva hear better than its ancestor. The larvae are also brown, which helps them blend in with the brown soil.
