I disagree with the new genus assessment. The extra paws are in line with how this branch of shrews mutates and the rest isn't big enough to split the genus.

It was more the combination of the behavioral, reproductive, metabolic, and mental changes on top of the physical changes that bumped it for me, but this line is highly variable, so maybe not?

I like the tail detail, the hairy tail tufts, and how traces of texture from the paper scanning suggest fur.

I see I have too many Biome Types again, i'll probably get rid of the tropical ones then. Is there any Temperate or Montane biomes that the species would not reach with Tropical Biomes removed?

Nope, no issues

Alright, fixed the habitat issues and changed the diet accordingly.

I still think its in the same genus as its ancestor though.
