Ancestor:Descendants:

The jabberwocketter split from its ancestor to take advantage of the new food source, the rainforest trunkplage. They spend their entire lives around trunkplages, moving from one to another. They have grown "teeth" from the wooden bones in their skulls. They can't fly as well as their ancestors, since the prefer to stand. Their necks have grown, allowing them to reach every possible leaf. The jabberwocketter has gained even stronger photosynthesis that stores energy in the cells of their wings that allows them to fly without using the energy they gain from food. They are now extremely vicious towards predator, bashing them and biting them with their sharp teeth.

Because the jabberwocketter feeds on the trunkplages, they have formed a semi-symbiotic relationship. The jabberwocketter gets covered in the sap of the trunkplages, so the ketter ends up spreading the seeds of the rainforest trunkplages every time it moves from tree to tree.
