Gosh it’s fun to see convergent evolution on Sagan IV with Sagan IV life, let alone with one of my creations. Though I guess since the Treeshrog was arboreal, this is kind of the inverse of the Cantro situation. The color scheme recalls its immediate ancestors, but also reminds me a bit of mandrills. All in all, it’s neat to see Cantro software run on Shrog hardware.

I just realized with hippogryph switching its food pouch to carry babies and shrockal switching its baby pouch to carry food, it's like they've traded

Do they hunt ballshrog that are down on their luck? Or do they attempt attacking nests?

Probably prefers unlucky ones.

A ballshrog nest specialist would be neat sometime.
