Ancestor:Descendants:

The seacrystal gilltail split from its ancestor and has spread to all the coasts of Glicker due to one simple adaptation. Its eggs are now very colorful, yet very durable. The vibrant colors urge predators to eat the eggs, which in turn just slide through their digestive tract. A few days after the consumption of the eggs, they will be deposited along with the rest of the predators excrement in a completely different place from where they were laid. The eggs will then hatch and feed on the excrement for nutrients. Along with these colorful eggs, the seacrystal gilltail has gained two primitive electrosensory pores on its beak. These pores can faintly sense the electrical signals created by other fauna so that even if a potential predator is well camouflaged, the seacrystal gilltail will be able to sense it.
