>Mutation : Partial development
The Under Hunter developed basic pheromones, mainly to induce stronger attraction to a mate genetically farther away.
Now, when pack fights, the surviving matriarch will gobble first some testicles from a slain male, before gorging (and wasting) on the ones of the other males and those of her fallen pack members.
This does not completely solve the inbreeding issue, but is a step in the right direction. The natality remains low, too low to sustain the current population level which further shrinks. The amount of Under Hunter alive becomes concerning.
>Scale restored, but you're on thin ice regarding inbreeding debuff
>"Interesting" mutation
Turns out the various species of crawlers can smell very well the Under Hunter sexual pheromones - and take that as danger signal, scuttling away. However, they can't outrun and outmaneuver the Under Hunter strong and nimble body.
>Scissor Hunter :
The Scissor hunter, thriving in the recent climate thanks to an heavy reduction in predator with the disappearance of Tripods and the plummetting number of Under Hunters, grew and then grew some more, reaching the size of a well-fed Earthan pig.
Its bulk and mighty blade turns it into a fearsome creature, challenging the Fourbeak as current Apex. The Under Hunter is a decent match against the delicious nutritive blob of flesh, muscle and fat - or more precisely, the Under Hunter of the past would have been a decent match.
However, the smaller packs size due to the recent development inder their ability to challenge the new Big Shot of The Crack.
Issues :
- Under Hunter fighting Under Hunter
- Predation from Four-Beaks
- Predation from Scissor Hunter
- Low natality
- Cell degradation due to a lack of telomeres (400 days)
- Still not mobile enough to leave the Crack
- Sucks to be a young female Under Hunter
