Within the Javen Temperate Rainforest, the native population of grabnubs began to experience trouble. This was due to the rise of obsiditrees, whose immense size and black leaves covered much of the forest floor in shadow. This resulted in the grabnubs' patterns, once great for camouflage, stick out like a sore thumb to predators. Alongside the rise of competitors such as the hikahoe, the increased predation forced the remaining grabnub population to adapt. The changes this population would make would not only be in coloration, but also in their diet and lifestyle. This would lead to the population becoming a completely new species, known as the '''gnawsferatu'''. As the species evolved, they would end up replacing the remaining populations of grabnub, leading to the extinction of their ancestor.

Due to its ancestral eye-hearing method proving very ineffective at actually picking up sound, the gnawsferatu had to make some important changes. In a similar fashion to the ballichehara, the crests work by passing sound through their skin which then resonates with the thin bone core, afterwards being detected by jaw bones adjacent to it. While the crests do help with hearing, with the nasal crest also helping with their scent of smell, their primary function now is for display. The two digits on their hands have developed large claws, helping with digging up the roots of certain flora such as carnossamers and crystal swordgrass. Unlike their ancestor or their close relative, the gnawsferatu will feed on tough flora species such as hydrabowls and the osziza. To properly handle this food, their front teeth now continuously grow in a similar mannar to rodents so they do not wear down from constant use. The gnawsferatu uses these teeth to snip off bits of vegetation, with their larger molars then helping to grind up the food. The large claws and big teeth can also help protect the gnawsferatu from predators such as the terrorbeak, along with another defense. Unlike their ancestor or close relative, two of the three toes on the rear-most leg are permanently raised off the ground, with the claws having become longer and sharp. This adaptation is present due to the fact the gnawsferatu will briefly lean forward and lift up its tail leg to violently kick at any predators coming at them from behind.
