The creeperworm replaced its ancestor, the slugworm. Its smelling wings have turned into supporting limbs. Thus they taste the soil where they walk. Since their eyes were on their back they have evolved to walk backwards. Their mouth is now on a long trunk-tail will eat food from the ground. Since it is a detritivore it is not very picky. It will travel up and down the banks of the ichthy river and swamp looking for food.
Their eyes have gotten more advanced and reacts to fast movement better. It can now run away from its main predator the mantiskipper. Its belly no longer has hooks now that it walks on its wings. The cloaca now has lip-like appendages. When copulating, they cloacally kiss each other to pass reproductive material.
