Ancestor:Descendants:

The wrinkly infernoblaster split from its ancestor, moving to the southern beaches of Barlowe and Dixon. Like its ancestor it has become the top "predator" of its habitat, using its fire-producing abilities to kill most creatures and then consume the remains.

Its fire-retardant armor has spread to cover most of its body (save for some places on the underbelly). Not only does its armor repel fire but also acts as an insulator, thus protecting it from the cold. Its armor also grows in folds and wrinkles, which helps trap pockets of heat.

Individuals live for about 20 years, reaching maturity in about 4 years. Like their ancestor their reproduction is very slow (since they have few predators); females are reproductively active only every 6 years. Females give birth to 1-2 babies; young do not have as thick armor and are unable to produce fire. Females will protect heir young until they are capable of living on their own, while males will live solitary lives only meeting with females to mate.
