The '''leafplate''' split from its ancestor the [[Dusty Spelunkhoe|dusty spelunkhoe]]. It is now a surface dweller and no longer digs underground. it has grown to twice its ancestors size and has developed hard photosynthetic plates on its body. This helps it get an energy boost from the sun as well as protect it from predators; the development of these leaf plates is one of the main reasons it returned to the surface. |

Its eye sight is a bit better than its ancestor; however, it is poor compared to other fauna it lives with. Males have developed a large horn on their wooden beaks. its is to fight over females. But also works well to fend off predators. Females do not have horns on their beak. Their front digging claws are now hoofs which help them walk and even run. They eat a wide variety of black and purple flora but cannot digest glass flora, so they avoid eating it. They also avoid eating the [[Twin-Tail Orbibom|twin-tail orbibom]] due to its mild toxin. |
