Snapflagg

The Snapflagg split from its ancestor and has changed drastically to compete with the many, larger thornback species that live on Fermi Island. It has grown smaller and thinner while its paddles have grown larger. It is now a fast and agile omnivore that primarily eats small global genus fauna. It still eats flora, particularly supershrooms; which it eats because few other Fermi species eat them. A mutation caused it to develop an extra leg bone on its hind legs, making running easier. It has grown toes in order to help it run, and its bone density has dropped in order to make it lighter, and thus; somewhat faster. However, because its bones aren't as dense, they are easier to break and thus, are an excellent prey item for predators. its black coloration helps it blend in with Fermi's black sand, but It also can cause it to overheat. Thus, its paddles have grown larger in order for it to help it cool down. The base of its paddles have turned 90 degrees and rest against its sides. This is because if they still pointed down, they would drag along the ground, slowing it down. Its mouth is filled with small, sharp teeth to help it catch and eat insect-like species. However, it also possesses a beak and molars in order to help it eat and chew up flora. It reproduces slightly faster in order to keep it from being eaten into extinction. They live for about five years, if they aren't eaten first.
