Maw Podion

The Maw Podion evolved when the food source of it's ancestor was reduced by the arrival of the Stickymaw. This Podion developed to live in the dark, humid depths of the rainforest and to feed on the sticky maw itself. It became darker in colouration and also slightly smaller. These changes help it to avoid predators. It's eye-spots became more pronounced and more sensitive so that it can see better in the shade of the canopy above. A further development is that the surfaces of it's legs and of it's underside became tougher. This toughness stops the Stickymaw buds that the Podion eats from being able to digest it in return.
