Ancestor:Descendants:

Since having split from its ancestor, the sprawling frabuki has spread throughout the coastline of the continent of Dixon. It has evolved, almost in a parallel of the stumpworm, single-joint limbs, albeit three of them instead of two. With these it can drag itself faster along the sandy sea floor as well as sift up edibles hidden within it. Other evolutionary adaptations include better protection from a combination of a sealed tail segments and a larger spines that covers the front segments. This has led to them to greatly flourish in terms of numbers.

Females are larger than the males by roughly 20%, and can produce hundreds upon hundreds of eggs which are laid into shallow sandy pits. These eggs will then hatch within several weeks, revealing cm long offspring that will quickly seek shelter beneath the fronds of various flora. Within a month they will reach full size and sexual maturity. There life spans are relatively short, so after reaching this point they will live for, at most, a year or two. Despite this, their spins help to protect them from most smaller predators and thus they have a relatively high survival rate.
