The shipper buoyskin split from its ancestor. Looking for warmer waters, some buoyskin ventured eastward into Elerd Coast, finding a niche as an agile ambush predator in the world of the far more massive scylarians. They work together in groups of 6-8 called "scrags" to take down larger prey or to make grabs at the young of said larger creatures. They are camouflaged against the symbioraft diaminet and other flora of the coasts, which they use to lie in wait for prey. Some shipper buoyskins have explored the waterways of Huggs; though their camouflage doesn't work they are still agile enough to catch prey there.
Individuals live for 10 years, with reproductive behavior similar to their ancestor. However, their new "scragging" behavior means that multiple mating pairs will share the same stretch of beach, working together to hunt but rearing their young separately.
