The '''bellowmari''' evolved from the [[humari]]. It has expanded its diet to include many of the other flora of [[Jaydoh Savanna Island]], because of this it has doubled in size. Since it isn't in direct competition with its ancestor it has not replaced it. It has evolved a new way to deter predators. If it feels threatened it will inflated its vocal sac and bellows at the enemy. It couples this by changing the colors of the vocal sac to contrast the natural coloration of the landscape (usually greens, deep blues, oranges and reds) this usually frightens away any potential predators. When calm it will change the vocal sac color to match the surrounding flora, this helps camouflage it and makes it intimidation display all the more surprising. The patterns for each expression are different for each individual. Even if the attacker is unaffected by the sound or colors, they still have to get passed the bellowmari’s sharp beak. During mating season "donors" will lock tentacles and fight each other with their beaks, all the while bellowing and showing their different coloration displays; the fight lasts until one male gives up out of exhaustion from shouting or from wounds from the fight. "Carriers" will choose "donors" based on strength in combat, chromatic display, and decibel level of their bellows.
