Ancestor:Descendants:

The megatusk sauceback split from its ancestor, the glacial sauceback. It now has left life on the glacier and has found a new way of living in Barlowe Rocky. They are completely herbivorous and survive off what little flora there is. The adults will dig holes with their big tusks for their eggs to grow in. They make sure to bring the hole water and glass flora for their larva to eat when they hatch. Both the mother and father will protect and care for their brood until they reach adulthood. Once the larva grow into adults they join the herd and feed on mainland chime slingberrys.

While blind they navigate through their sense of smell and hearing. They have huge bellies because digesting flora takes much longer. They sometimes even eat stones to help with digestion. These stones stay in their gizzard. They have a huge clubbed tail which works as a counter weight. Males sometimes use the tail when fighting for a mate, however they usually fight by clashing tusks. Those with the bigger tusks usually win.
