The honker hoofplent split from its ancestor, the hoofbear plent. It grew to twice its ancestors size and specialized in eating the hard to digest spikeblades and quillblades. It still uses hindgut fermentation to digest the flora. Once digested it will vomit back up the undigested parts. It has typical herbivore teeth with slicing in the front for grazing and then molars in the back for chewing it up.
Like its ancestor it has strong legs for kicking any predators that might want to eat them. They have longer legs for faster running. They have a specialized butt-nostril which has combined with its vestigial "plent leaves". They can open and close them to help make different types of honking noises. They can create very elaborate calls to each other ranging from simple warning calls to advanced mating calls.
The honker hoofplent lives in groups of around 20 members, all consisting of females and offspring. Males live by themselves but will fight over the right to mate with females in the spring. They will try to kick each other with their leg spikes. When attacking a female they will do their elaborate honking and wave around their long "face waddles". The longer they are the more sexy they are to the females.
