Swift Hookphlyer	Dixon Hookphlyer

Splitting from its ancestor, the snapperbeak hookphlyer has spread amongst the tropical and sub-tropical waters of Barlowe and Dixon. While in many ways it is similar to the swift hookphlyer, it has evolved a longer beak for easier manipulation of smaller prey items, such as its preferred prey of scuttlers and krillpedes. Their extreme abundance made for a highly tantalizing food source, one which it now exploits fully. Because of this, snapperbeak hookphlyers have become highly prolific and form huge flocks - though with little interaction between individuals - throughout their ranges.

Adults tend to utilize the tops of island colonialballs as nesting sites.
