Burrowing Diveskunik

The burrowing diveskimo split from its ancestor, the polar diveskimo. As the ice age worsened, and the glacier grew, some diveskimos found themselves returning to their ancestoral home in Drake. There they began to live in the large dens dug out by nogbarrels, following the nogbarrels around and eating their leftovers. They soon became more aggressive, stealing food from the nogbarrels, competing for the sparse flora in the tundra. Upon adapting to dig their own tunnels, became independent of the nogbarrels, which has not become extinct, though it is now severely limited in population compared to pre-ice age times. They use their sickle-shaped front legs to dig through the rocky soil and ice, turning them sideways to scrape at the soil, as well as to uproot and tear at flora.

Abandoning most of their fatty lumps to better move through their underground tunnels, keeping one large fold of fat on each side, they have become bulkier, as well as increasing in size. They are most common at the edge of the Global Glacier, with massive dens dug far into the ice, but they can be found sparsely throughout the Global Glacier, and in larger numbers in Darwin, Barlowe, and Drake Tundra. Those living in Darwin tundra live in harmony with the cavohoe, sometimes helping build their burrows, partly because of the increased numbers of flora, and partly because of the larger size of the cavohoe. They spawn in ponds made at the bottom of the tunnels, with the larva eating pieces of flora placed there by the adults.
