The Urchip split from Uksip Terricola. It has specialized to eat Crystal Shrubite. Its tooth has developed an acidic chemical that can dissolve the Crystal Shrubite more easily. After digestion it poops out sand, thus adding much needed nutrient back into the reef, much like earth's parrot-fish. It can swim a little but but it's back fin as evolved into 3 prongs and its scales have developed into spikes. This protects it from beakworms and other such marine predators. Its 4 tentacles each have a claw in which it uses to hold onto the Crystal Shrubite. It still has privative use but mainly uses them to look where to crawl on the reef. Unlike its ancestor it is fully aquatic and rarely goes on land unless its low tide, in which it looks for a place to hide until high tide.
