Ancestor:Descendants:

The diveskunik has split from its ancestor, the vegeskunik, maintaining the amphibious lifestyle of its ancestor. During the warmer months, it will live on Day Polar Beach, sustaining itself on a diet of ministalk sprouts and sunlight. It will spend most of its time in the Justin Polar Bay, thriving on a diet of arctic seaflowers, returning home to the Day Beach at night.

During the colder months of the year, the diveskunik will migrate south to Justin and Bumpy Beaches, while still maintaining it water-bound routine. while living in the southern beaches, it will drink from the cryobowl and fruiting cryobowl. Moving back and forth from the northern island to the southern beaches of Justin bay, caused the cryobowl and fruiting cryobowl to spread to Day Polar Beach.

Its eye developed an eye stalk, enabling it to look up when in water, and to the front when on land. Patches of cellulose on the parts of its limbs which touches the ground most, became thicker, which in turn enables the diveskunik more friction as it moves on land.

Its body has developed enzymes to fend off the destructive nature of cellulase, by absorbing it and turning it into sugars and carbons. With the help of the Drake microplaques it need not fear the cellulase-producing flora anymore.
