Hopping Ketter

The hopping ketter split from its ancestor the toxplage ketter. Like its ancestor it has a symbotic relationship with a specific flora, in this case the thorny hedgelog. It drinks the nectar of the thorny hedgelog's and helps pollinate them. They are also immune to the toxic fruit of the thorny hedgelog and over time become poisonous like the fruit.

Their tails red, yellow and back stripes warn off predators who may try to eat them. If that doesn't work they will us their large jumping legs to hop away or hide in between the branches thorny hedgelog. Like all ketters it has 2 eyes that can see in light while the other 2 eyes "see" scents. Thus can find the scent of the thorny hedgelog the brightest.

Their long butt-nostrils are now used as a counter balance when hopping. It also works well to make tooting sounds to attract a mate or warn of danger. They are usually solitary but will warn others nearby of danger. They dig small burrows close to the thorny hedgelog. These burrows follow the path the acidic fruits have dissolved out. Thus they can cave in frequently.
