The emulswmmer split from the chutslonaga. It left Mandate Limestone Caverns for the Barlowe Water Table. While most of the water table is underwater there are some hidden pockets which have air. This is where the emulswmmer live, be it where there are pockets of air or just where the water table meets the other caverns. Its is amphibious, but spend most of the time in water. Their wings have turned into flippers and are their main mode of transportation. Their tiny legs can still be used if they find land to stand on.
Since their bioluminescence attracted predators and ruined their night vision in the dark any time they blinked they eventually lost that adaption. Without light they eventually went blind and lost all of their pigment. They are a greenish due to their green blood. However they have lost all photosynthesis also due to lack of sunlight.
Without light they relied on sound, touch and even taste. Their long sticky tongues taste the water so they can track down floating stickyballs. Like their distant ancestors, their saliva can break down the stickyballs' stickiness enough for them to eat it. They have also improved their lung capacity so they can stay underwater for longer periods of time. They will stick their butt-nostril out of the water any time they can in order to use it like a snorkel.
Like their ancestor they give birth to live young. However they will roll onto their bellies when giving birth so the offspring can come out of their mouth-womb to breathe. The offspring soon learn to hold on to their mother's back with their tiny feet and sticky tongues. The parents mate for life and both take care of their 2 to 3 offspring. When one is holding the babies the other is looking for food and then will bring back the food for them to eat by vomiting it up for them. After a few months they reach adulthood and leave their parents to find a mate.
