Ancestor:Descendants:

The longmouth has split from its ancestor, the snow sauceback, and moved from North Barlowe Boreal to Nuke River. Its white feathery coat turned brown, which makes it stand out in the red soil of its habitat with the purple flora around. Its mouth prolonged and strengthened, to be able to abide with its new favorite food of armored organisms. Though not above eating mudscooters and swarmers, the longmouth will generally prey on the nuke slitherworm and the arthrofin, which provide it with more nutrients. Its mouth has a small plate with which it grinds the armor of its prey, while slowly transferring it through the mouth to its stomach.

Its air holes, at its tail, prolonged, and connect to its lungs by an air sack. This air sack can help preserve air, as the longmouth sometimes dive through the water to catch its prey. Its lung developed, and can now extract more oxygen than its ancestor's micro-lungs.
