Dwarf Maineiac Gilltail

The scraperbeak gilltail split from its ancestor and has specialized in eating the orangemat. They use their elongated lower beaks to scrape pieces of the mat off of the riverbed. Once the pieces of mat are dislodged, they will eat the pieces. If they can't find any orangemats, they will resort to filter-feeding. They live in small shoals, protecting them through safety in numbers. One shoal can easily tear up an orangemat. However, they often times will miss some bits of the mat and those bits will ultimately settle down to create new mats. Scraperbeak gilltails will instinctively avoid eating small mats. Like their ancestor, males will fight over females. The males will use their elongated lower beaks as lances and joust each other.
