The '''puffworm''' replaced its ancestor the [[Salt-Puff Wingworm|salt-puff wingworm]]. It uses its beak to tear off the leaves of the [[Salt Puff|salt puff]] and [[Tower Saltpuff|tower saltpuff]]. Its wings are now pink to blend in with the beach flora. There are still no major predators so it will walk around on the sand rather than flying. It still can fly but not as well as its ancestor could. They are larger than their ancestors due to the abundance of food available for them to eat. And they have spread south to the other western Glicker beaches.
