Water Hound
Evolved from T. hyenaquarius, some specimens started to hunt prey from the waters of zone 4 to get more food from the high competition from their own kind. These specimens became more aquatic and its tail became broader to make a tail fluke and form small groups when hunting. Their body also became slimmer and more streamlined so it can swim faster to catch its prey.
Found in coastlines of zone C and zone 4, they get 2 feet long(Due to their longer tail. They feed on C. communis, G. makari, M. tesla, S. angelosis, D. anokatokarpus, D. fruitflotensis, dead carcasses( not main food) and F. clamus . Due to a lack of territory of land they do not have territories unless for breeding. When swimming they can hold their breathe for 10 minutes( their increase is due to more diving aswell as I create lung capacity and size) to hunt in groups of 3. Due to them being slow and chasing prey, their tail is used to herd schools of a prey so it can easily surround the species (with its other pack members) to grab prey trying to escape the cluster they surrounded. When swimming they rely on the strength of their tail while their arms are folded. Their coloration is usually green feathers and a dark to light blue body. Females however have a duller green and blue.
When breeding males would clean an area of land (1 meter in diameter) during winter and attract a female with its bright feathers. Once a female comes it will display its feathers by flaring and jump as high as it can to show its strength and good genes. If the female accepts the males mating ritual they would then mate and the female would run off. The female will then build her nest(build of sticks and bones) on the beach before she lay her eggs the next 2 days. Females would defend their nest territorially with them chasing anything of with a 1 meter diameter range so nothing can eat her 5cm eggs. A female can lay to 2-7 eggs but only 2-5 surviving due to predation by D. katharagnathus. Once the egg hatch in spring the female would take care of the young for about 1 year until they grew into young adults.The female would teach her younglings how to hunt when they are sub-adult and then chase them off the nest when they are old enough.
