Polar Sauceback

The polar sauceback split from its ancestor the snow sauceback. It moved to Barlowe Polar Scrub and Barlowe Tundra. Like its ancestor, its stomach has a high tolerance to iron and will vomit up globs to keep from overdosing on iron so it can digest species like the tundra rustling. However their main food source is the polar thaworm. They are immune to the polar thaworm's thawing chemical. They will scavenge for food if prey is scarce.

Their shaggy feathered have gotten even thicker with 3 layers. The most inner layer is downy feather with help insulate them. Next is a large shaggy coat and then on the outer coat an oily coat to keep them dry. Their have doubled in size and have a more compact to help reduce heat loss. Their hoofs are even wider to keep it from slipping on ice or sinking in the snow.

Since they depend upon their hearing to "see", they have to rely more on their heat and smelling sense. They can both hear and smell food under the ice and snow. It will use its mandible tusks to dig in the ice and now to get to its prey which mostly live underground or in the snow. They can also smell a rotting carcass for miles and will seek it out if it can locate it.

They will lay their eggs in the summer when the snow is less heavy. They lay 2 to 3 eggs each year, however only one offspring will reach adulthood due to the harsh climate. Their larvae has to hatch and reach adolescence before the arrival of winter. While saucebacks are normally solitary they will gather in the spring to mate. Males will fight over females with their sharp mandible tusks and tail spikes.
