The '''nostrilback''' split from its ancestor, the fishing grasper. It was so successful that it also replaced its relatives the [[geistrat]], [[ghastrish]] and [[Murderous Vreselijk|murderous vreselijk]]. The key to its success its its polar adaptions. While its relatives were thin and lost a lot of heat it was bulky and has a warm layer of thick blubber all over. It also has a white camouflage to blend in with the snow, unlike its relatives which had dark black spots that were easy to see.
In addition its butt-nostril has grown along its spine in order to warm up the cold air before it enters its lungs. This long butt-nostril also has a 2ndary use, it is used to communicate and call for mates. With new holes its able to make complex calls just like a musical instrument. Each opening can be opened or closed to create a different pitch. Since its external ears lobes had more surface area to dissipate heat it lost it all together and grew large tympanic membranes instead like primitive [[plent]]s had. Since it relies on sound and smell more it uses its eyes less and the 4 eyes have revered back to just 2 eyes like early plent ancestors had.
