Gripper

The gripper replaced it's ancestor. The gripper has become more specialized in hunting nogger. It's body became shorter and more slender, it's legs also became shorter. This helps it chase noggers into their holes. It's breathing tube became shorter too and it is able to close it so nothing falls in it when it scrapes against the walls.

It's skin is camouflaged, which makes it harder to be seen by noggers. With it's hooked front tooth, it is now able to easily kill a nogger and pull it out of it's den. It still hunts alone and shares it's kill with it's family.

It's mating behavior has not changed much either. The males still get pink shoulders during the breeding season. They still have tournaments every year to find the strongest male and they still use their front tooth in these fight, but because they have evolved hooks, they will get much small wounds. That's why almost every gripper male has small scars on it's skin. They rarely get seriously injured or die though.
