The tilecorn split from its ancestor. Due to the tilehorn living on land already, the transition from being an amphibious organism to a terrestrial organism was not terribly difficult. However, there was the obvious problem of where to lay the frog-like eggs; so not only does the tilecorn find pools of water to lay their eggs in, but the eggs themselves also have a thicker outer layer that helps them last longer than their ancestor's. Due to the fewer predators, some of the armor on its back has reduced. In order to cover greater distances for food, they have evolved longer legs that help them run faster than their ancestor. Much like its ancestor, the horn on its head is still used to jab into predators. However, the horn is made more of keratin than bone unlike its ancestor, which allows it to grow faster. The tilecorn feeds on glaalgaes and black flora with its flexible lips. The coloration has also changed from rusty-red to white with black stripes as means of hiding amongst the white ground and the black flora. Other than these changes, it is much like its ancestor.
