Ancestor:Descendants:

The vomiting trunkskunik replaced its ancestor, the trunkskunik. It has grown to twice its ancestors size since the bigger you are the easier it is to retain body heat. Its legs have developed a series of exoskeleton rings. These spread out the weight on its 6 legs while still allowing slow movement. It has a large face plate which protect its primitive brain. Its back has grown many more fatty lumps to help keep it warm.

They are much to big for burrows and must spawn in puddles. Like its ancestor it mainly eats the various globe flora available. It fends off predators like the pleriema by vomiting up its highly acidic vomit. Not only dose it smell but it stings a bit. Enough to make it unappealing to eat. The vomit can be even sticky depending upon their last meal. They will travel in small herds and will huddle together when it gets too cold.
