The '''Leepi Meepi''' split from its ancestor. It shrunk in size by 10 times, taking on the somewhat empty niche of very small detritivore, this allows its larvae to take advantage of much smaller sources of debris than its ancestor, such as simply existing in layers of leaf litter. Lessening the burden of obtaining fuel for metamorphosis into adult forms the Leepi Meepi remains exothermic it's entire life. Its brain has shrunk considerably from similar selection. Preferred habitat are areas that have decomposing Flora matter, as well as a continual source of moisture. They can often times be found in crevices under rocks or logs where moisture from the soil keeps the air more humid, and daylight is less likely to overheat or desiccate them.

Their endoskeleton is rather minimalistic at this point, acting mainly as connection points for organs and muscles as opposed to a robust support system. The tissue that comprises their hooves has developed into more of a mesh basket that is fused with the skin of their soft tissue, this remains a fairly flexible amalgamation for the tips of their digits but becomes more rigid and supportive for the legs. Their torso and tail gain most of their support from the sauce and nostril ridge, the latter of which has become more of a semi rigid sheet of chitin.
