The bipedal baghopper split from its ancestor and changed a lot. Its wooden beak is long and sharp for impaling prey or digging out prey such as snohawkworm larva. Their main mode of locomotion is hopping. Around the base of the beak are short spines or bumps used to crush food. Their wings now mimic the various long leafed purple flora that grow in the region. Because of this it has lost its photosynthesis. Their butt-nostril has a layer of fat and blood vessels around it to warm air entering and take heat away from air exiting their bodies, also their stabilizers are sharp thorns for defense. The majority of their body mass is fat. On the ends of their feet are wooden spikes or nails used to stabilize themselves when standing or to make pushing off the ground when jumping easier. Their front limbs are now wrapped around and fused to their pouch to support it and keep it from ripping open.
Rather than building a nest for their young the females simply do not give birth when they are fully developed. The female fills the organ that her young developed in with air so that they do not suffocate, she keeps her mouth open too for air flow. Her young can poke their heads out of her mouth and beg for the food that her mate gives them, she will survive mainly on her fat during this time though her mate may feed her as well. Eventually she will force the offspring to leave, her jaw will often unhinge to make this difficult task a little easier. If she does not shove them out then they will grow too big for her and they will essentially explode out of her and kill her.
