Ancestor:Descendants:

The terrornooga split from its ancestor. It has developed into an amphibious ambush predator, hunting the snorkpipers of the Pipcard waterways. They are solitary hunters, using the shadows of the Obsidiroot forests are cover when they stalk their prey. When they get close enough, they sprint from cover, using their shorter, more muscular legs to propel themselves through the water to their target; their feet are also webbed to aid in this strategy. Once caught, prey is dragged onto land to be eaten. If they cannot catch prey on the river, a desperate terronooga will turn to the large fauna of the rainforest. However, they are not built for land pursuits, and can only manage to catch juvenile fauna .

Because of their use of the obsidiroots as cover, they've lost pigment in their rear half of their body. Their spot pattern focuses more on dark blotches, in order to blend better with the black flora.
