The hard-shelled toothy retains some things from the marmokerd, such as its brown hair, its chitin shell, and its sociable behavior, although these things changed a bit. Some changes are that its upper hair has hardened, forming moving plates similar to those of a tenrec that produce a squeaky sound that is used for intraspecific communication. His hair expanded to give him more warmth in the cold northern areas and his shell became smaller, modifying his head in the process to make it flat, with the front eyes looking forward and the rear eyes looking to the sides. The teeth expanded and hardened, this to be able to better bite into their hard-shelled prey. The legs were differentiated in different ways, the rear ones (A) became longer for running, the middle ones (B) became more robust for support and the front ones © only became slightly longer. |

The arms also lengthened and their "hands" had a change of direction in the lower claws that now look upward, the latter are used as "hands" that grab food. |

Parental behavior is a little different compared to that of their ancestor, since families create a set of small burrows approximately 30 cm long through which eggs and food are deposited. |
