After Aerialslontus achiensis entered Zone F, it became the favored prey item of Aquadracius aboriginii. Having an efficient predator placed evolutionary pressures on these Aerialslontus achiensis now being hunted. This eventually led to Aerialslontus flavos, a better-adapted variety of flying moxipod on Chamegia.

Aerialslontus flavos still much resembles its ancestor, although it has made a few changes. The dark green that once covered its wings has increased saturation and now appears a bright green to improve camouflage within Plortatus polyphs and blend in better. The rest of the body also appears more brown because of this. The other notable change is that its tail has reduced in length, in order to be less likely to be caught by "insectivorous" wyverns during chases. The reduced tail places Aerialslontus flavos at seven centimeters (7 cm) in length.

Aerialslontus flavos feeds on Plortatus ipsumsemenous and Plortatus ipsumpellicius in Zone F and any other "low-growth" tree polyph it comes across, flying to find new polyphs once it has eaten so many leaves to prevent the accidental killing off of its food sources. It is food for Aquadracius aboriginii itself, and flying away is its only defense if spotted. Otherwise it will stay still in hopes of not being noticed until the wyverns pass.

Aerialslontus flavos matures at four (4) weeks of age, not counting the other two (2) weeks spent forming inside of the soft egg. Males and females will mate once a year and fertilized females will lay between fifteen and twenty (15-20) eggs each month, which will stick underneath the leaves of Plortatus spineesa with the help of a sticky substance. Females store sperm with the help of concave curves in the cloacal tubes, which will hold it, and semen will slowly leak into the eggs inside the womb.
