The '''fourmaw sauceback''' split from its ancestor. For some [[Logworm Sauceback|logworm saucebacks]], being able to live longer as adults proved better for finding mates, resulting in an unexpected turn where some regained the ability to eat as adults. As they had lost their jaws, transitioning to being able to eat again was a slow, awkward process, but they ultimately found a solution: convergent with the long-extinct four-jawed saucebacks, the fourmaw sauceback has similarly arrived at a four-jawed mouth through elongation of some of its teeth and gums.
