Ancestor:Descendants:

Splitting from its ancestor the brutish nakeworm left their ancestral cavern home and moved out into the surrounding area. Developing more skin pigments, it can now move during the day with less hassle, though they tend to instead bury themselves under the sand during the day and come out at night. A unique adaption was the transforming of their second pair of legs into sickle-like stabbing claws that, while still used for normal movement, can be used as a lethal hunting tool. They tend to live solitary lives and only come together to mate during the dry season, after which the eggs are buried in the sand where they eventually hatch around the rainy season when food is more plentiful.
