Ancestor:Descendants:

The tileback split from its ancestor, the shingleback and moved to the nearby beaches. It is slightly smaller as it has to survive in harsher conditions and with more inner-species competition. Their back plates are slightly more stretched and are mainly used for color blending with the nearby brownish sands while leaning, resting, or sleeping. They are now generalist herbivores and will feed on most types of flora. They will break the fat korystal using their nose spike, graze on the cryobowls with their flexy lips, and cut through the fungibane using both. They still communicate using their dewlap and can change color and show general needs and emotions. They lay their eggs straight into the sea during the intercourse.
