Red-Eyed Landlubber

A descendant of the red-eyed landlubber, the horned landlubber has taken to the waterways of the Dixon-Darwin supercontinent, thriving on the abundance of black flora that is to be found there. Now nocturnal by nature, becoming most active only around dusk and dawn. During the day, they instead rest within their burrows, forming slimy cocoons to help them retain their moisture and thus avoid drying out. These cocoons also serve to mask the scent of these landlubbers, and their sticky viscousness makes consuming one rather difficult for a potential predator to do.

The manipulatory tentacles of their ancestors have become stouter and stronger, allowing them to freely grip and move food into their mouths, which have also grown larger in order to take in larger leaves and such. Grinding molars, remnants of the days when their ancestral onamor kin would feed on hard-shelled prey, now aid them in breaking down whatever tough black flora they should choose to consume. Their tails have flattened somewhat, and are used when moving on land, giving them a flopping, almost bumbling motion as they walk. Other than this, they are relatively similar to their ancestors.
