Gossamer Lizardworm	Mandate Gossalizard

The eerie gossalizard split from its ancestor, When some gossamer lizardworms went into the Mandate Limestone Caves, they found a home without predators, but food they could not digest at first. So they began to evolve by being able to digest both plent and worm flesh. Due to the fact that there are no predators in the Mandate Limestone Caves, the eerie gossalizard became twice the size of its ancestor and the apex predator of the Mandate Limestone Caves. Its silk glands have become much larger and can produce large quantities of gossamer. Since it lives in caves, it had to depend upon bigger eyes and better hearing than its ancestor had. It also uses its tail as "fifth leg". Its fingers have become longer and are sensitive to touch. Its mouth is also full of needle-sharp, chitin teeth that constantly regrow. It is also nocturnal.

The eerie gossalizard prefers to hunt small prey including young of some plents so that it does not have to put up too much of a struggle to wrap up its prey. It has also evolved new strategies to catch its prey, which include leaving dangling strings of gossamer that are covered with bits of food that would attract hungry creatures such as mandate emulsiflies, shellworms, and bandersnatch young. Not only does it have arms, but its first set of lower legs have also evolved into acting as a second set of hands.

As they grow they must shed their exoskeleton. During this time their new exoskeleton is very soft so they will create burrows to hide in for this purpose. They are also cold-blooded. This means they can last for longer periods of time between meals however they must take time to warm up.

However, their most unusual evolution is that they now have separate sexes being male and female. The female and male have sexual dimorphism; the male has the same colors as its ancestor and is only 130 cm long and the female has green and purple, which help it camouflage in the caves and is 160 cm long. The males live in the Barlowe-Dixon Tropical Rainforest and only go into the caves to mate with the female that always remains in the cave. When mating with the female, the male has to show extreme caution and make sure the female has eaten. If the female has not, it will immediately eat the male as soon as it is done mating. After mating, the female lays a brood of up to 25 eggs in a crevice that is lined up with gossamer to keep them safe and warm. Once the eggs hatch out, they immediately leave for the Barlowe-Dixon Tropical Rainforest to live and grow.
