Some individuals of Podovolare velox have become nocturnal to avoid direct competition with Dracuanguilacerta herraborealus and with their own species. After developing adaptations for night vision and developing other adaptations that increased their chances of survival, they became a new species, Podovolare vorax.

Podovolare vorax has larger, rounder eyes that help it to see in darker conditions. The leg bones grow longer to give off a larger stride while the arms remain with the same proportion as adults. Podovolare vorax grows fifty centimeters (50 cm) in length as opposed to forty centimeters (40 cm) as a result of intraspecific competition, as adults will commonly chase others off kills for food and chase others for mating rights.

Podovolare vorax will most commonly feast off of already-dead carrion and active Vermislontus noctus that it locates, but will also hunt other Vermislontus species and Castorocauda that it finds sleeping. They will pin down their victims with their claws and then disembowel them with their teeth while eating. Cannibalism of juveniles under twenty centimeters (20 cm) is not uncommon in this species.

Those newly hatched from the egg have equal arm-to-leg length ratios like Draco brunus but the arms grow more slowly than the legs which causes the difference as an adult, becoming more noticeable as they switch their diet from one of Megaplortatus seeds and Lorensia clearensis seeds to one that consists of meat at around five (5) weeks of age. They typically stop growing at ten (10) weeks.

Podovolare vorax males will chase away other males for access to females, who mate with those that stick around the longest. Females will lay forty (40) eggs after they have reproduced. The number of eggs is so high as many of the young will be predated before they mature.
