Weavesnapper

The weavesnapper has split from its ancestor the polar skimsnapper. It has gotten smaller and now spend most of its life on the backs of herbivores such as the purple phlock or the barbback. It makes conical nests made out of mostly purple flora and its downy feathers. It uses its sticky saliva not only to keep its shape but to stick it directly on the backs of herbivores it rides on. Doing this is beneficial for both species. The downy feathers of the nest keep the host warm, while the eggs inside stay off the cold ground and away from predators. Sometimes a herbivores gets completely covered in nests and will actively rub some off to keep their eyes, mouth and butt-nostril from being covered. They are physically similar to their ancestor however they have lost many of their marine features such as webbed feet and a fish catching mouth. Now they have a mouth that can catch small prey such as krugg and climbing korrybug. Their strong jaws can easily crush their protective exoskeletons. They also will regurgitate food to their chicks in their nests. Once the chicks have grown their protective downy feather they they will leave the nest to find a mate and a new herbivore to build their own net on.
