Whiskered Sniffaloo

Among the sandy shores or loose mountain soil, a strange furry critter slithers along. One may assume these are another one of the fish, however they are not fish but mammals. More specifically a descendant of the Ganges River Dolphin, the whales have gone back to land though not the same as they were. Changed forever but maybe for the best.

The Whiskered Sniffaloo is a bit of an far cry from their ancestors. Their smooth pink skin has changed to brown fur, as their flippers developed into claws. On their sensitive snouts long whiskers grew, useful for digging around in the dark. Their collectively similar teeth have reversed back to the familiar multi-purpose teeth-sets. Front incisors and canines for grabbing onto prey, to sharp back teeth to chew it up. Primarily insectivores with powerful claws to dig through the dirt. Though mostly insects, they will occasionally snatch up young soarers and centaurs. Though older full-grown centaurs regularly hunt them down.

Recently a population of mountain sniffaloos have started standing on their front limbs. With longer sturdier necks and shorter tails, they can easily run on their front limbs to get away from danger. This will soon give rise to a whole new clade, a clade of top predators turning the tide on the centaurs.
