Dense-Carapace Krugg

Splitting from its ancestor, the dense-carapace krugg has adapted to eating the eggs of the arboreal flunejaw. To do this, its feet now face outward and have clawed toes, allowing a grip on trunks and branches, it has lost its protective spines, but instead has developed a harder carapace that extends over the upper portions of its legs, allowing it to simply crouch down when threatened and be very difficult to harm, especially with its increased size. However, populations are kept down because eggs aren’t available all the time, and the dense-carapace krugg is a poor scavenger due to its slow speed (bighorn kruggs often get first pickings). Because of this, dense-carapace kruggs are no longer territorial, as they cannot afford to compete with other members of their own species.
