Scaleback Ketter	Longisketter Manisketter

The emerald ketter split from its ancestor the scaleback ketter. It has moved to the temperate rainforest where it can climb trees. It whole body is now green so it can absorb sunlight from anywhere on the body, not just the back scales. Their butt-nostril has become like a prehensile tail. This helps it when climbing and keeping balance in the trees.

Unlike their ancestor they mostly stay in the trees and will build nests in them rather than underground burrows. They will raise their 2-3 babies each year in these nests. When attracting a mate they will will make tooting sounds from their butt-nostrils. These toots also double as an alarm call to other ketters if there is a predator in the area.
