Ancestor:Descendants:

Found on the Jlindy and Ninth Tropical Beaches, the bandersnatch has split from its ancestor and has evolved to feed on bitter beachballs. Walking on all fours, it can, for short time periods, run on its back legs should it be threatened by a predator. They breed rapidly and produce numerous young, and their numbers are only kept in check due to predators as their food source is quite abundant. They tend to move in groups of 3–6, and have developed a defense mechanism in order to combat predators. Should they be cornered, they can spit an irritating concoction of bitter beachball residue and stomach acids.

Notes

The name Bandersnatch comes from two poems by Lewis Carroll, The Hunting of the Snark (An Agony in 8 Fits) and Jabberwocky.
