Ancestor:Descendants:

The river scorpion sauceback replaced its ancestor in the Ittiz River and Ittiz Swamp, it also doubled in size. It lives much of its life on the riverbed, but is comfortable on land too. Its tusks have been split into two pieces, the lower parts being covered in flesh, they are now fangs and help in holding and consuming prey. The nostrils on the head now are kept closed most of the time to keep water out, and the ears have closed up and converted into stalks for hearing underwater. The tail is kept out of the water so it can breath and the microlungs have become larger and more efficient at absorbing oxygen. Its tail now is purple and has large spikes on both the top and bottom mimicking a slingberry stalk, and the dagger at the and of the tail has lengthened to be a fishing spear. The hooves have repositioned so that each leg is supported by a single piece hoof, instead of like its ancestor, who had a two piece hoof.

They will live alone or in clusters of twenty or so individuals, as they are not very aggressive towards one another. The females lay their eggs a distance away from the water to keep them from becoming submerged. The larvae will bury in the riverbanks and mud and feed on carrion.
