The sawclaw replaced its ancestor, the the barkerclaw. It has gotten fatter but stronger, and now uses its tail as a third foot like its distant ancestors once did - this helps support it when chewing off rubbery "bark" of immobile plents. Its claws now have saw-like edges so it can better cut off the "bark", while its head crest has turned into four smaller ones which go down the back. These crests are mainly used for communication through color flashing. Unlike its ancestors it no longer can change color on its body except for these four sail-crests. This is important because they are deaf and must rely on their excellent eyesight and sense of smell.
Their jaws and neck muscles are incredibly strong. They not only use their teeth and claws for eating but for digging burrows. They will collect leaves and lines their burrows to sleep in. In order to protect their young they still dig their nests under the ground and lay their eggs there in the sleeping nests. They will protect and raise the chicks. Females stay with the herd while feeding but aside from the alpha male the males will go off and live a solitary life. Each spring males challenge the alpha male for his "harem" of females. They will fight using their teeth and claws; this can sometimes be fatal since their claws and teeth are so sharp. The winner gets the females. Like its ancestor it kept the sexual dimorphism of the white spots around its eyes as well as a bigger set of bony nostrils for the males.
