Sabulyn

The sabulyn split from their ancestors and moved further inland. They now occupy the dry desert areas of the southern Dixon-Darwin super-continent. They have shrunk to close to half that of their ancestors, preferring to hide in the underbrush away from predators. Their protective spikes have mostly atrophied, instead they rely on speed to avoid danger. Their wings have grown somewhat, and are used as a means of providing extra energy, as well as being used as a display during breeding times. The males will flash at respective females, which if receptive will respond. They will preform a sort of "courtship flagdance", until they finally agree to mate.
