Hunting from the branches requires finesse and elegance of a certain caliber, and as such the Spangclaws have adapted new traits to deal with an arboreal lifestyle. Unlike the spangers of the bygone age, the Spangclaws have developed off-white, bony protrusions from their smaller mouth parts. This coupled with their prehensile tail allows them to hang upside down on branches, moving like a sloth - albeit faster. This downward view allows them to spot prey in the shallows below them, and when the time is right, they will drop and impale their prey. They live exclusively on plants near beaches, laying their eggs within cruxwax shells.
