Pickclaw: Difference between revisions

The '''Pickclawpickclaw''' replaced the [[Denclawdenclaw]] and moved out into the underground. Unlike its ancestor, the claws are no longer used for fighting, but are instead used for digging. In order to this, its claws had to evolve a spade-like shape that can dig away dirt. Its tail-leg has also adapted to being able to move up over its back like Earth's scorpions. Most of their lifetime is digging underground or foraging for food. The only times the Pickclawpickclaw is ever outside of its tunnels is when it is finding food or mating. The Pickclawspickclaws have evolved sexual dimorphism. The males have white patches around their eyes while the females have none. One extremely important adaptation the Pickclawpickclaw went through is that it will sun-dry and store lots of [[Violetgrassvioletgrass]], [[Hermangrasshermangrass]], and [[Hugograsshugograss]] before times of famine. This is so that they will have something to eat.

The Pickclawspickclaws dig a main cave system, while a [[Velishrootvelishroot]] opportunist will often take its time to extend the tunnels. This is a form of symbiosis known as commensalism. The Pickclawpickclaw does most of the digging, while the Velishrootvelishroot digs deeper. The Velishrootvelishroot gets free food during times of famine. When some Pickclawpickclaw eggs are left behind or a baby Pickclawpickclaw dies inside the tunnel, the Velishrootvelishroot steals the tasty treats.
