The quilltail split from its ancestor, the icicleback. It has adapted to the arid environment of Jaydoh Desert. To keep cool it has lost most of its thick fur and has huge ears to dissipate heat. They mainly are nocturnal and will seek out the glowing leaves of the lanternbranch. They mainly eat its black leaves and sometimes its bulb roots.
Like their ancestor they will dig burrows with their sharp claws to sleep in during the day. They are faster runners than their ancestors and can quickly sprint to their burrows if predators chase after them. If they are cornered they will use their quilled tails to smack them with. These quills are detachable hair with barbs that will stick into the skin. It is quite painful for the foe hit with them.
They are warm blooded and give birth to live young. The live young live in the pouch until they either have grown too big or they grow tail quills. However they will still nurse milk from the mother for up to a year after birth even if they cannot fit in the pouch. They are still quite social and will travel in large herds across the desert. Males will even fight over females by swiping their tails at each other. Most of the time they don't actually hit each other and is more for show.
