The '''Larlap''' replaced the Smackback. Due to the competition from its descendants, the remaining smackbacks had to adapt or die out. This mostly involved them growing larger and stronger, sporting thick rolls of blubber to shield them from predators and competing species (such as the Thorndillo). Like their ancestor, they use their smacking spines to push others out of the way and to intimidate others.

Individuals live for 10 years. Individuals take a month to grow out of their larval stage, and take another year to reach sexual maturing. Individuals travel together in small groups based on gender: females travel with immature young. During mating season these groups congregate into colonies of hundreds of individuals.

Ancestor:Descendants:

A still wind whips over the Fermian flatlands. You landed on the frigid beach several days ago, and have encountered few large flora or fauna on your trek inland. Suddenly, a Thwak! Twak! breaks the silence. This solitary sound is joined by another, then another, until a cacophony blossoms over the landscape. What is making that sound? You crest the next hill, and to your amazement a great congregation sprawls out beneath you...
