Ancestor:Descendants:

The hook tusked waxface split from its ancestor, the mux waxface. After the mux waxface's main food source evolved into a larger better protected creature, the hook tusked waxface became a strange highly adapted hunter. They have become longer and its tusks now point inward. They also have strong sturdy legs. Their tail mimics the jaydoh goth tree and their underside mimics the turridea. All these adaptions are meant to help the hook tusked waxface to hunt the striped quilltail.

They're most active at dawn and dusk. They're not very fast, but very quiet. They have two methods of hunting the striped quilltail, but they both invole its strange tusks. When a hook tusked waxface finds a suitable target, it will places its tusks around the striped quilltail and lift it into the air. The hook tusked waxfaces will either hunt them while they're sleeping or when they're eating. For when the striped quilltails are eating, the hook tusked waxface will find a jaydoh goth tree and, "first locating where they're becoming from," and then squat down behind it with their tail sticking up in the air and wait for one to get close enough. Then when they're sleeping, the hook tusked waxface will come from behind and grab the closest one. They have not adapted very much to hunt the scaleback tamow.

The hook tusked waxface is not as social as its ancestor. They live packs of around three members, some times two or four. They reproduce the same way as their ancestors.
