Extinct (May 2nd, 2020): Outcompeted by Flisilensis marineris

N. communa has evolved from S. diggensa in Zone F. It has evolved to trade its dark color for a lighter color, matching Lorensia potensus. This species lives underground like its ancestor, and still defecates at the entrance to ward off predators. They’ve turned into omnivores and are now able to grow as large as 4-5 inches. Breeding season is May-June in the nests, which often contain 15-25 individuals. These nests are dominantly female, with one dominant male that uses its horns to fight off other males which wish to take his place. If the other males attempt to mate then the dominant male will fight them. They’ll eat small Sukalensis that are unprotected, but mostly feed on seeds from L. potensus and L. fernus. They’ll go out and crawl among the bushes of L. fernus at night, searching for seeds to eat. The tunnels can go a few feet deep and have large chambers at the end. Territories can stretch up to 25 meters out from the tunnel entrance. Individuals will roam the territory, hissing to let any other groups know that this is their territory (which would be terrifying at night). The bodies of various Sukalensis species are often dragged back to the nest for the young and other members. If members from another group intrude, they will be attacked if found. Neosukalensis communa do not usually attack creatures larger than themselves. If their tunnel is intruded all members will attack the culprit. Males that challenge the dominant male and lose are kicked out and forced to search for another group that will accept them. They will often climb trees. It has slightly larger horns and is dark green.
