The fanhead gossalizard split from its ancestor, the rainforest gossalizard and moved to the North Barlowe Boreal and the Barlowe Rocky areas, where they are in constant competition with the woodland gossalizard. The fanhead gossalizard has traded its armour for speed, allowing it more maneuverability and agility than the significantly larger woodland gossalizard. They hunt most creatures in their local areas, though they avoid the poisonous bandersnatch and the both the larger beaktrunk and woodland gossalizard, and cannot dig to reach the spelunkhoe. They may scavenge corpses or even use their superior numbers to steal kills from the woodland gossalizard when the going gets tough.
It also now hunts nocturnally in packs of around
The fanhead gossalizards fans work by pumping blood into them, which causes them to become brighter than the usual dull colouring used for camouflauge. They use the fans to startle and intimidate both prey and predators; the males also use them in conjunction with their silk to attract mates. Most fanhead gossalizards are now developing tiny amounts of bioluminescent bacteria under their skin.
