Ancestor:Descendants:

The white obscurpede is a divergent species from the obscurpede. Unlike its predecessor, it grows slightly larger; it also has skinnier limbs and antennae. It's "hands" do not have any more feelers, and now function primarily as claws, used mainly for grasping rocks. Its antennae have also grown longer, enabling it a farther sensory range. The other main difference is that, as its name suggests, this creature has a pale exoskeleton. The coloring is to blend in with some of the more white regions of the caves, where they live. Other than that, it is almost exactly the same as its predecessor.
