Hunched Diveskunik

The hunched diveskunik replaced its ancestor the tower diveskunik in Slarti Polar River. It has become more symbiotic with the hunched glasstower. It is the only species who can reach the fruit inside the glasstower's long hollow tube. Their fuzzy wrists catch the glasstower's sticky pollen and help spread it to other glasstowers. In return it gets to eat the fertilized fruit inside. In addition the seeds it spits out from the fruit also help grow more glasstowers.

The hunched diveskunik also spawn inside where the pools grow cryodome hydroutine. The offspring feed on the microbes and sugary water. Eventually they make their way out of the tube before they get too big. When the female is ready she will spit her genetic material into the inner pool of the glasstower. This scent is then picked up by males who come by to find fruit. Thus sensing her genetic material they too fertilize it with theirs.

They have also gone through some physical improvements such as stronger, more flexible exoskeletons. These allow the limbs to snap into place when they need to be ridged but also flexible when they need to walk or reach. The more quadrupedal stance allows for better stability on the ground while reaching. On the ends of their front limbs they have developed primitive graspers in which they can hold on to fruit with. They also have developed fatty waddles which they use to store up fat for leaner times.
