Ancestor:Descendants:

An offshoot of the sailbacked bearhog plents of Wright, the roaming plents truly live up to their names, and have moved to a variety of habitats all over their home continent. To compensate for their new areas, they have shrunk in size, only rarely reaching sizes above 1m in height, and they have adapted to eat almost exclusively plants, which inhabit their domain. However, it continues to be an opportunistic omnivore, and will therefore hunt and eat meat that it can subdue, although this is generally small creatures.


Like their predecessor, their wingleaves are permanently fused in place over their back as sails, and are brightly colored in males to attract mates and to deter rivals; for roaming plents, the brighter your sail, the more attractive you are, and so two rival males will compete by sizing up the colors on each other's sails—the one with the brighter sails wins. Because of the nature of this rivalry, these fights never end in fatal battles between the two of them (although they are occasionally caught off-guard by predators).


They continue to possess the three toes per foot of their ancestor, as well, but have developed a short tail which has its butt nostril on the end of it. Their skintone has also become darker, to better show off the colors of their sails.
