The '''pouched armorsaw''' has replaced its ancestor the [[Pistonsaw Armorsnapper|pistonsaw armorsnapper]] in the [[Huggs Rainforest]] and [[Huggs Temperate Forest]], and replaced its distant ancestor the [[Omnisaw Armorsnapper|omnisaw armorsnapper]] in the [[Huggs Scrub]]. It is still a herbivore and will eat nearly all the plants found in its habitat. It no longer has to rely on the [[lyrostira]] to lay its eggs as it has evolved a specialized water-filled pouch on its chest. The subspecies in the Huggs Temperate Forest still hibernate by burrowing themselves underground and growing a moist, shelled cocoon. When the cold winter is over they will break out of their cocoon and eat it.

Immediately after fertilization the females water-pouch will begin to fill itself with water. After laying its eggs the pouched armorsaw will pick them up with its prehensile tongue and place them in its water-pouch until they hatch. Around the opening of the pouch are lip like muscles that keep the pouch closed until it is time to place the eggs inside or get rid of the hatchlings. After hatching inside the water-pouch the mother will expel them and care after them for a little less than a month. This has increased the chances of the hatchlings survival from 30% to above 50%.
