The scaleskimo replaced its ancestor, the scaled diveskimo. It has also expanded it range to warmer biomes. Unlike their ancestors, they produce eggs with "wooden" shells. The females will bury their eggs at the beach in large clusters during the same time of year. The large amount of offspring hatching at once ensures that some will survive predators. Once hatched they will go inland.
Like their ancestors, their entire body is covered in cellulose scales that not only help it keep from drying out, but also help it retain its shape. It works like an exoskeleton and is ridged enough to protect them like a shell. The scales are also photosynthetic and help give them a boost of energy when the sun is up. However, photosynthesis alone is not enough to sustain them and they must eat. They have developed a hard beak to help it tear off hard flora like the glaalgaes. They are cold blooded and must warm themselves up on rocks before going out to eat. However, this also means they do not need to eat very often.
