Ancestor:Descendants:

The shell-crushing sauceback split from its ancestor, the cleaner sauceback. The attacks of cunning lizardworms and other predators forced some cleaner saucebacks to abandon their symbiotic relationship with the desert shellwalker and search for safer lands. The Ittiz Swamp, with its lack of predators and abundance of bog rustworms provided an excellent habitat for the worm eating sauceback population. The feathers on its body have turned completely orange, as its environment is mostly orange anyways. The saucebacks head has lengthened and its horns have grown stronger to help it pry open the heavy iron-rich shell of the bog rustworm. The shell-crushing sauceback still has to expel large globs of iron to keep from overdosing on it. The larger sized prey of the sauceback has allowed it to grow to be an additional ten centimeters long.
