>>5981926Walking on claw tips isn't very fun, or stable, so the Stunky Ramels have found some solutions to this problem. The Stinky Runmel simply stops using its forelimbs for locomotion, now using them exclusively for digging. All its weight is concentrated on its two back legs, which have gotten stronger and larger to compensate. The Runmel's gait is balanced by its enlarged tail, the armored tip of which hides its soft and vulnerable scent gland when not in use.
The Buff Stinkmel, on the other hand, adopts a "knuckle-dragging" posture, its armored "hands" now taking the brunt of the walking off its claws. To increase its digging capacity, the Stinkmel's muscles have monstrously grown, as did its pungency. Even one of these creatures is enough to make the surrounding area smell of sweaty jockstraps and protein powder for MILES.
