The '''scaleback ketter''' replaced its ancestor the [[Ringtailed Ketter|ringtailed ketter]]. Their photosynthetic leaf has evolved into a series of leaves that run down its back. This helps increase the amount of sunlight it can absorb. Since there are no [[Stickyballs|stickyballs]] in [[Slarti Polar Riparian]] the ringtailed ketter has developed a different relationship with the [[Segmented Carnofern|segmented carnofern]]. While they still drink the segmented carnofern's nectar, they no longer have to clean them off anymore. They will even sometimes eat the segmented carnofern's seeds. |

It is immune to the digestive enzymes in the [[Segmented Carnofern|segmented carnoferns]] leaves so it can climb around on its branches without fear of being digested itself. In addition they help out the segmented filterfern by picking its seeds and planting them in the ground. They are brown in color to blend in with the brown soil of Drake. |

Like their ancestor they will typically build their burrows close to segmented carnofern. When its gets too cold they will shelter inside and will even raise their 2-3 babies inside each year. When attracting a mate they will will make tooting sounds from their butt-nostrils. These toots also double as an alarm call to other ketters if there is a predator in the area. |
