>>5429629The Stumble Scooper has developed a much more resilient and versatile jaw, enabling them to chew with their internal teeth without snapping their pincers and vice versa. Its strength has likewise improved, giving them a much higher snapping and tearing force, though this isn’t enough to rupture a metallic shell, the Flounder Feeder’s inconsistent exterior often leaves that redundant. While the Stumble Scoopers are smaller, their pincers are equivalent to the Flounder Feeder’s in terms of raw force, narrowing the gap between them. What’s worse, a mutation in the Stumble Scooper’s gut flora has led to a more efficient stomach, rivaling the Stomper’s for digestive efficiency and reducing the amount of food required to survive. The Stumble Scooper’s population increases. Between both adaptions and the Flounder Feeder’s vulnerability, the Stumble Scoopers are now likelier to defeat them in combat and are more numerous. If the Flounder Feeders don’t find a way to survive, they may be dethroned from the position of apex predator.
