Shingleback

The shingleback split from its ancestor the coastsnapper. It followed its only food source the land korystal, inland. They are slightly larger than their ancestor and have lost their webbed feet. Due to lack of predators they have lost their spikes and much of their plates. Both males and females now grow a dewlap and use it for communication since they are deaf. The dewlap can change colors and create complex patters. They wait until the rainy season to lay their frog-like eggs in puddles. Those by the river use the river instead. Males are territorial and will often fight with other males over the best patches of land korystal.
