Splitting off from the norat and taking up residence on the Yokto Beaches, the windersensor norat gains its name from the numerous spots dotting its front "snout" area and along its sides. These spots are tiny lumps of sensitive cells that sense minute changes in temperature, pressure, and when particles are present in the air, allowing the windsensor norat to keenly determine the presence and speed of wind around it. The windsensor norat uses this perception to gauge if and when dressed sporestalks, which it evolved alongside with, will eject their spore clouds. If it senses that there is no wind, or not enough to trigger spore release, the windsensor norat will be able to find food safely (provided it doesn't bump into any of them), but if it detects the wind level rising, it will run to a location where it can avoid the choking clouds.
The windsensor norat retains its social capacity (and tickle-skin) from its ancestor, but since food is less plentiful on the Yokto Beach then in the Yokto Forest, it lives in smaller groups of two to five and only gives birth to one to three babies at one time. These family groups will pile up mounds of sand and debris over small burrows in the ground, both living in these and hiding in them for protection from spore clouds. Other then the clouds, there are no other threats to the windsensor norat, since its powerful immune system renders it resistant to disease and morsus turpis.
A significant change from its ancestor is the windsensor norat change in diet, feeding exclusively on crystal prismgrass, its digestive system has increased in size and efficiency, allowing it to extract significantly more nutrients then it would otherwise, but at the downside of making the windsensor norat rather intolerant of other foods.
