Bleeding Bellyoon

The bleeding bellyoons split from their ancestor and doubled in size. They will make massive living nests made from zeploons; these nests protect them and their young from the elements, support them in the air when resting, and provides them with food and hydrogen. The nests also end up being a rest spot oasis for many other atmospheric lifeforms. Their many large hydrogen floating bladders are virtually all they rely on to float and move about in the air without their nests, their wings have lengthened and narrowed to become long hooks used for gathering zeploons. The legs of the bleeding bellyoon have moved closer together, their skin is now brittle and easily cracks at the knees often resulting in bleeding - they use this blood to hold zeploons together. They only glue the zeploons together at certain points to prevent excessive blood loss. Their blood contains an antibacterial that becomes activated when exposed to air. This helps prevent infection and prevents the glue from rotting for long periods of time.
