Beach Runner
- Ancestor: Draco major
- Zone: C and C1 (coast)
- Size: around 20 cm
- Reproduction: Like their ancestor, Beach runners mate for life and give birth to a similar amount of eggs, around 3-4, two times per year. After hatching they take care of the young until they are mature enough to fend for themselves.
- Food/sustenance: Thalassiids from zone 22 that wander into land, mainly T. paratiritis and T. epipediceratos, but it ocasionally hunts other thalassiids like A. mikrapodia.
- Predators: V. tingualus
- Description:
Adaptations: D. litucursor has evolved a notch on the front part of its jaw, having a hook-like shape, and a curbed part on the lower jaw which, along with conical teeth, grants it a better grip of its prey due to the shape causing the front teeth to point slightly backwards, which complemented with the curbe of the lower jaw fitting into the top notch, allows it to catch its common prey without it escaping. This species of dracid evolved from the dracos that preyed upon the thalassiids of zone 22 and ended up specializing with their jaws suited to catch smaller organisms in preying on them to avoid competition with other predators of zone C, since these are only preyed upon by V. tingualus and D. major itself, but staying out of water to avoid conflict with A. lutosquama due to the larger size and more robust body of these, which would allow them to easily take D. litucursor down. The brown colouration of its scales is used to blend better with the muddy coast, the blue colour of its ancestors would bring too much attention from predators. The spikes on its heels are pointy scales which, along the plates on the front of the legs, are used to prevent predators from biting there, as an injured leg would make it unable to escape.
