The tamhook split from its ancestor, the tamjack. It moved inland to Penumbra Tropical Rainforest and is not completely arboreal. It spends most of its time in the branches for the penumbra fuzzpalm, which is also its only food source.
Its body is nearly hairless except for whiskers. Its tail has grown longer and its tail-axe is now the shape of a hook. This helps it latch on to branches when climbing. Its tails and paws have grown longer to have it climb on the trunks. its ears have grown larger to not only help it hear better but to disapate heat in the hot rainforest.
Its blue in color to blend in with the berries of the penumbra fuzzpalm. It will eat both berries and leaves of it. Like its ancestor, it making basket-like nests that they build in the treetops. These "tree houses" are built in clusters and are defended by the group.
Individuals live for 25 years. A female gestates young for a half a year and give birth to 2-4 babies 3 times in her life. Like their ancestors, they are warm blooded and give birth to live young. The live young live in the pouch until they either have grown too big. However they will still nurse milk from the mother for up to a year after birth even if they cannot fit in the pouch.
Females do not leave the tree houses since the babies could accidentally fall to the ground. Males must bring food back to their home for its mate and offspring. Even after weening the young will stay with group and help repair and protect the tree houses until they are old enough to find a mate and make their own.
