The '''dune capiri''' replaced its ancestor, the [[Rocky Capiri|rocky capiri]] in the [[Ittiz-Ovi Dunes|dunes]]. It has adapted to life in the dunes by having webbs between its toes to keep it sinking into the sand. Also it has developed hairs around its compound eyes and nostrils. Since food is scarce it has also adapted saliva that can dissolve the sticky goo of the [[flightberry]].
Their bodies cannot change color but their sails can. They can make pulsing circles which can shift in color and speed. For instance, bright yellow with fast flickering means danger while orange to red with slow to no cycles is when they are calm; this helps them blend in. Blues and greens with fast cycles mean they are ready to mate. Purple means they are scared or are hiding within the purple flora. Black with red means they are challenging another for a mate, while white means they are sick. Their most amazing defense is that they can flash colors really fast and cause epileptic seizures in would-be predators who try to eat them.
