Nogphibian

The nogphibian split from its ancestor and moved to the Krakow River. They live the lives of herbivores. The nogphibian are semi-aquatic and relies on proximity to water to keep its skin moisturized and its body temperature cool. They dig burrows near the river banks, and live together in small communities of about four mating pairs and their "pups". They rarely venture more than one mile away from the river except in search of of plants. They have lost the quills on their tails.

To prepare for times of drought, the nogphibians build special tunnels in their burrows that are designed to collect water from the river. The males have very sharp claws and are slender while the females have longer teeth and a more robust frame. The males are the only ones that dig the burrows and the females are the only ones that forages for food, so in order to survive, the nogphibian stay together for live. If either one dies, the other will not mate again and must rely on the group. The widowed females act as babysitters and the widowed males act as landscapers, fine-tuning the tunnel. They have about 6-8 pups a year and live for about 13-15 years. The pups leave to form their own groups before the next mating season.
