Ancestor:Descendants:

The less migratory of the species split from the capisail. The burrowing capisail is a smaller cousin of the capisail that lives in tunnels held together with saliva. Unlike the capisail, the burrowing capisail is monogamist and families live in interconnected tunnels. They use their spade-like head to dig. They use a mixture of squeaks, peeps, chirps, and sail-flashes to communicate. Their seeing in infrared along with normal light makes navigating tunnels very easy. Some tunnels go down 15 meters, though most are 3m deep and 20 cm wide. The horns now lie flat to make backing out of chambers simple. Most complexes have a sleeping chamber, larder, and bathroom.
