The '''shoveltail''' replaced its ancestor, the [[pickclaw]] and has gone through some dramatic physical changes. To better move through the soil its pick-claws have turned into clawed scoops: this helps it "swim" through the soil. Its head is now a wedge shape and it has nostrils and bony eye shields, which protect them from loose rocks and pointy roots. The nostrils and eyes can close up when in digging mode, thus it must take breaks to breathe before it continues.
Line 64 ⟶ 36:
They will lay their eggs in home burrows. Females will stay with the eggs and tend to them while the male gets food for his family. When they hatch they will raise them as well. After they have grown they will join the colony in digging holes and looking for roots. They stay in colonies in order to fend off [[velishroot]]s who might want to feed on their eggs, young or weak individuals. There is no single leader of the colony.
