When some [[Farmphibian]]s entered the Fermi Temperate Beach, the warmer conditions meant they were not required to live within [[Hollowdome]]s. The higher number of predators did mean the farmphibians needed to find shelter, so they began to dig burrows in the beach. Among a variety of other changes, these groups eventually split off from their ancestors and became the '''ornamented hoby'''.
Ornamented hobies live within burrows, which they dig out with their claws and faces. These burrows provide the ornamented hoby a useful shelter from potential predators such as [[Velocidohve]]s. The rim of the ornamented
For female ornamented hobies and younger/less successful males, this is pretty standard behavior. Mature males, however, live their lives a bit differently since they use their burrows to breed and attract mates. They dig out large chambers in their burrows that get saturated with water while another chamber above is where they bring in scraps of food and store it so it then feeds a species of [[Supershroom]] that acts as a crop. These require a bit of maintenance and not all males make these burrows themselves, some instead forcing the males that originally made these out and taking it for themselves. These result in clashes between the owner and an interloper, where they bob their heads and flash bright and aggressive colors from their color-changing skin patches on the cheeks. If neither backs down from the display, they will butt heads and push each other in a test of strength. The victor of these scuffles will evict the loser from the burrow.
