Ancestor:Descendants:

The megarmorsaw replaced its ancestor, the pouched armorsaw in Huggs Tropical Rainforest. It has grown twice as big as it ancestor so it can reach the leaves Lyrostira and Fluffytree. Like its ancestor it has a specialized water-filled pouch on its chest. Immediately after fertilization the females water-pouch will begin to fill itself with water. After laying its eggs the male pouched armorsaw will pick them up and place them in the females pouch with its prehensile tongue.

The muscle that controls their saw-like appendage can pivot back-and-forth to saw off leaves or fell trees or it can be swung around and used a defensive weapon against predators. Their armor plating is thicker while its spikes are more like hard knobs.

Males do not have a pouch but their skins are more specialized than the females and they are able to change their color more extravagantly. They can't change it to anything too different but they can switch it between various shades of purple, from dark almost black purple to lighter almost pink shades. The only use of this extreme color shifting is to attract a mate.
