The magnificent dragasail split from its ancestor. It has grown much larger to help it reach the larger, upper discs of the nonotower. Because of its sheer size, it has virtually no predators. Any dragaterror that attempts to attack it is usually badly injured or even killed by being struck by the magnificent dragasail's powerful first pair of limbs. However, the dragaterror does sometimes manage to kill the magnificent dragasail. The magnificent dragasail's only true threat are crinavians, who will attempt to suffocate those that get too close to their nest by clogging their nostrils with adhesive slime. Survivors of such attacks tend to avoid occupied nonotowers. The males' sails and fins have grown even larger and more colorful, making them more attractive to females. Males have the ability to change the color of their sails and fins, often times creating beautiful gradients contrasted by a dark background. Like their ancestors, the magnificent dragasail migrates to the beach to mate. However, they don't stay for long, as there isn't enough food to keep their massive bodies running.
