Ancestor:Descendants:

The poison plentelope replaced its ancestor, the buttblaster in the southern grasslands and scrublands of Wright. With so many of its relatives around with their blasting "butt-nostrils" it could not compete so it adapted to eating the one flora they could not, the poison windbulb. It developed an immunity to its poison as well as got the benefit of becoming poisonous themselves. You see their little fatty growths all of their body retain the toxin and thus effect any predators the same way as if a herbivore at the poison windbulb. Like the poison windbulb they too have bright colors to warn predators that they are bad to eat.

They did not need a huge butt-nostril anymore and only use it for mating calls. Their side spikes are now shaped like pronged antlers and are used by males to fight over mates. Their ears have gotten very large and some of its photosynthesis has returned. However it is very weak. On their feet they have woody pads to help protect the bottoms of their feet from sharp rocks. Like their ancestors they live in social groups and will huddle together in a circle with shoulder antlers out and juveniles in the center. Juveniles do not have the large amount of poison in their fatty lumps yet so they must be protected by adults.
