The Spiked-Backed Greenscale split from its ancestor, the Frilled Greenscale. It has grown larger and thus eats larger flora to sustain it. Due to predators like the Bubblewraptor it has evolved spikes on its lower back and tail as a defense. Its hoofs are now a single hoof to help it run away faster. Like its ancestor it has photosythetic scales all over its body. These work great in the constant sun of the high desert and grassland.
Unlike its ancestor they no longer have large head frills. Males will show off their tail spikes to attract a female. Once paired off the parents will both raise the young once they have been born. They have 2 to 3 offspring at a time. Once old enough to walk they will join the greater herd and migrate around the island of Vivus for food. They can eat harder to digest foods like the waxy Aloeberacteus.
