Their large hooves are situated directly underneath their feet in order to avoid being stabbed by the pinprong's spikes. The chin spike has rotated forward to facilitate in digging up pinprongs, their upper lip has become more prehensile to grab the flora, and they have developed cheek pouches to help hold onto the food while chewing. Since xatabound's lineage has been feeding on shards of glass-like chitin for millenia, their mouths had little trouble handling the sharpness of the spikes. However, the spikes contain virtually no nutrients, and so are spitten out while the leaves are being eaten (in a similar way to how humans spit out watermelon seeds). The xatabounds will change their back plate's color to reflect the flora they are eating; as such they now recognize purple as well as light blue to signify calmness, and other color changes to equal alarm. Like all glasseaters they communicate with bellowing calls picked up by their "eye-ears".
