This one really reminds me of a Minecraft pig. Not a regular pig, a Minecraft pig in particular. It's probably the pinkish color and its large, goofy head.

It also seems to share a domestic animal theme with the adorned tamow. Maybe someone could make a chicken snapper for the Driftwood Islands as well.

I don't have any actual criticisms, it's a pretty plain species that seems to be playing it very safe in terms of wacky adaptations.

Why not chicken or duck shorelance?

Fast note, the "direct, bodily attack" bit is foreshadowing the carnivore I'm gonna drop soon

You're right. It's pretty plain by Sagan 4 standards...although the Corvisnapper is basically a crow with pterosaur and "birdosaur" elements, and is still perfectly good. It reminds me of some long-extinct weird mammals from the Cenozoic.

It's interesting to see the bulbous mushroom-nose typical of tams actually get used for something unique.

It's a pink color to blend in with dry puffgrass, right? It might be useful to point that out in the description, since pink is not typically a good camouflage color on Earth.

Edited.

On plainness, sometimes organisms don't need to be some epic innovation. Conventional, relatively ordinary-looking critters are fun too.
