Ancestor:Descendants:

The iron slider split from its ancestor and doubled in size. It has long wire-hairs growing out of its body that are used for sensing touch, this gives it the advantage of knowing when something is in front of it before bumping into it, or when something might attack it before the deed is done. Growing out of its body are also seven adjustable quills for defense if it is being attacked. The legs are now longer and placed directly under the body, the body is curved and acts as a skid that takes most of the iron sliders weight off its legs, the casing of the body is also denser.
