Ancestor:Descendants:

The delving lyngbakr split from its ancestor. The Jim Polar Shallows were becoming too crowded, and so some sandscale lyngbakrs ventured out into the open waters. Finding an abundance of food and space, these sandscale lyngbar grew to even greater size. However, competition from the other Lyngbakrs in the sunlight zone, as well as the threat of multiple types of predators in that region, forced the delving lyngbakr to "delve" into the darker depths of the twilight zone.

They are a deep blue to match the blue of the dark waters they swim in, though they retained some of the colors of their ancestor; mature females have a green mark around their neck. Their bodies are more sturdy and muscular to take the higher water pressure of the ocean depths.

Individuals live for 50 years. Growing slowly, they mature in their tenth year; females gestate for a year and give birth to a single young, rearing 3-4 "Bakrings" in their lifetimes. These behemoths travel in pods that can contain 20 individuals. These pods are typically female only, with the only males being adolescents. Adult males are individuals who seek out the female-dominated pods in order to mate. Once they have, they are usually chased out, and thus they take no part in raising the young.
