Nodent

Nodents are a type of plent. Most of them bear a pair of large incisors protruding from the top jaw.

Behavior
One line of nodents, called the noants, began to colonize and become eusocial like Earth ants. They are capable of farming shrooms.

Breathing & Blood
Like all mobile land plents, nodents breathe out their "butt-nostril". They breathe in carbon dioxide just like plants on Earth. Nodents have green blood from the chlorophyll that remains in it.

Diet & Energy
Many nodents tend to be herbivores or omnivores, but one evolutionary line, the nizzards, became totally carnivorous. Herbivores use the large incisors nodents are known for to crunch plants, while the nizzards and the pillnibble use them for cutting or slicing.

Reproduction
Like all other plents, nodents reproduce sexually. They copulate through their mouths, as well as give birth with it. They give live birth, just like mammals.

Size
Nodents range in size from 1 cm long (Male/Worker/Farmer Megapolidi) to 7.2 m long (Striped Nailfin).

Types of Nodents

 * Noteeth: Is perhaps the largest group of nodents. It includes not only the Notooth, but also all descendants of the Desert Notooth, the Beach Notooth, and the Diminutive Notooth.  They have relatively large wings used only for photosynthesis, two- or three-clawed feet, and built burrows.
 * †Neavers: All descendants of the Neaver. They were amphibious and built homes using logs they prepared by chewing down larger flora.  Their butt-nostrils also evolved into snorkels.
 * †Sunners: A group with only a single member, the Sunner. It was extremely lazy and rarely moved.
 * †Nibblers: Includes the Nonibble, the Grassnibble and its descendant, the Pillnibble, and the Nosqueak. They had small wings to prevent predation, four claws, and a lengthened tail.
 * Gundis: All descendants of the Noant. They built nests and displayed obvious sexual dimorphism.  Their colonies are ruled by a queen.  Some later evolved aquatic habits.
 * Nice: The Nouse and all descendants of the Norat including the Noleap, the Windsensor Norat, Dungat, Notox, and the Noroobit and its descendant, the Cauda, and the Nossum and its descendant. Many possess prehensile tails and many have a close family life.
 * †Nizzards: All descendants of the Nizzard. Possess ferret-like bodies and are fully carnivorous.  Three tusks extend out of the front of their mouth.
 * Geistrats: All descendants of the Geistrats. Generally possess pale skin and red eyes.  Many are carnivorous.
 * Wargrats All descendants of the Ghastrat. Cave dwelling relatives of the Geistrats. Most are carnivorous and possess no pigment.
 * †Monopods: All descendants of the Pancakefoot. Hop around salially on a solitary foot.
 * †Pipents: All descendants of the Corpse-Bearing Pipent, except for the descendants of the River Pipent.
 * †Nailfins: All descendants of the Nailfin. They are a species of amphibious and aquatic plents with flippers covered in wooden nails.
 * †Noggers: All descendants of the Nogger. They are mainly burrowing organisms.
 * †Nectarlings: All descendants of the Nectarling. They are small pollinators.
