Ancestor:Descendants:

Splitting from its ancestor, the burrower nakeworm has advanced its digging potential with the formation of spade-like front limbs. As it moves under the sand, it waits for potential prey to move overhead it before it strikes, typically catching the poor fauna off-guard. With more powerful compacted muscles, they can produce a stronger electrical charge capable of now stunning most small fauna on contact. At night they will surface and feed on various flora, and during the full moon they will mate with one another.
