Ancestor:Descendants:

The quadacorn replaced its ancestor the earlbit in the southern grasslands and scrublands of Wright. it has grown to twice its ancestors size. The quadcorn has now wood hoofs on its feet to help run away from predators faster. Its 4 thorny horns are also used as defence against them. Like its ancestor it has great hearing and will herd with the poison plentelope to have safety in numbers.

Males will fight over females with their front horn. like their ancestors males with the larger "fat beards" are more attractive to females. They live in herds of 10 to 16 members and are led by a single male. The other males will form a "bachelor herd" which consist of only 3 to 6 individuals. They frequently fight over dominance and will, from time to time, leave to try to challenge a male with this own harem of females.

When offspring are born, they are raised by the females. Once old enough the males will be driven out of the herd to join the bachelor herds. The alpha male will frequently mate with the females but they only give birth to around 2 or 3 offspring. Many do not make it to adulthood due to predators.
