Ancestor:Descendants:

The nizzard replaced the nouse in the Huggs Temperate Forest, and spread to the Huggs River as well. It evolved to fill a slightly similar niche of the bygone prosubigosaurus. The nizzards top incisors become canine-like teeth. It became much longer, and its legs seem to sprawl out like an Earth lizard. The nizzard also changed it's color to blend in with the dirt in order to avoid predators. It can also swim quite well, thanks to their slightly webbed fingers and streamlined body. When sleeping, the nizzard submerges itself in dirt, with only the breathing tube exposed. It is quite solitary, except for mating.
