Ancestor:Descendants:

These fauna are more elongated than their ancestors, allowing them to slide through tunnels easily. They use their sharp beaks to pierce through flora matter and predators. Their backwards facing claws aid them in digging. They use their back feet and tails to push away dirt. They have small sails on their backs that can be raised and lowered which are used solely for display purposes. Their pinkish pattern helps to break up their shape

These fauna have better vision than their ancestors and are sensitive to movement in the dark. During night they venture out of their burrows and eat any berries, vegetables, and young stalks they can find, all while one family member watches for predators. During the day they retreat to the tunnels and rest, occasionally digging around for young roots.

They live in small family groups of 2-6 and mainly use their claws for breaking apart tough foods and digging. The burrows have a spiral shape which allows them to escape danger quickly. Within the burrow is one large room, in which all the family's young are raised. A family group may have multiple connected burrows or just one.

Their ears have been slightly fleshed over, and their nostrils have moved up along their tail. The vestigial leaves have been completely lost.
