The False-Poison pedesorm split from its ancestor. It has developed the ability to dye its shell with pigments it naturally produces, which is excreted with the materials that create its shell. Some of these pedesorms started excreting dye in patterns and colors similar to that of the Poison Pedesorm, confusing predators into thinking they were actually poison pedesorms. Over the generations, these mutant armored pedesorms began to evolve to look extremely similar to its dangerous cousin, ultimately leading it to becoming the false poison pedesorm. In order to better mimic the poison pedesorm, its body and trunk-claw has become shorter and it developed claws on its tiny hind limbs. It also has darker skin, similar to that of the poison pedesorm. Even the shape of its shell and legs has become similar to the poison pedesorm. However, it still is relatively different, as its trunk-claw is better suited for cutting than digging, and it has far more developed eyes. One of the most striking differences though is its diet. Unlike the poison pedesorm, which only eats detritus and dung, the false poison pedesorm is also an herbivore, like its ancestor.
