While the elongated scarlethorn still has a deadly poison, it has also evolved sharp spikes all over its body to give predators and even greater idea to not consume it. The elongated scarlethorn receives its name because of how its body has elongated to allow more room for its shell. The elongated scarlethorn has also evolved a long tail with a stinger on it that is used to defend itself from any predators flying above it.
