As the Peacock Tillers grew larger, with the abundance of food in the forests, males became more and more aggressive, to fight for mating rights. Despite the fact that neither sex cares for their young long after laying their eggs, males have grown even more aggressive towards each other during the summer. The vertebrae in their spine have grown much taller, creating a sail-like structure on their back. When either fighting over females, or trying to startle predators, they flush blood into their sails, bringing out massive eyespots that cover them. During such a state, they become rather aggressive, and will attack anything, until either the predator has backed off, or the rival male has run off. The Charging Tillers were born.
