The Mikraxekinimata seemingly looked like a complete mismatch of animal parts, but it was perfectly adapted for surviving in harsh conditions. In fact, little did they know was that they would eventually evolve into the largest living land animal of Teraminos today: the Longuscollidon. Description This gopher sized creature appears to be a cross between a mole and a prosauropod, with females being slightly larger than males. Its arms are perfectly adapted for digging through the dirt in search of food, while its large neck allows it to scout for danger above. The Mikraxekinimata also has an extra eyelid that helps protect its eyes from dirt getting into them while digging through the dirt. Behaviour Mikraxekinimatas live in small clans of up to 15 in burrows. Like the garden eels of Earth, they will stick their heads out of their burrows and wait for prey to come along. If a predator comes along, the whole 'garden' slides back into each of their burrows and disappears. Diet The Mikraxekinimata is an insectivore and a herbivore. When hunting for food, it hides in a burrow and uses a 'worm' lure to attract insects to its mouth. When an insect gets too close, the Mikraxekinimata snaps its jaws shut and slides back into its burrow. Sometimes, it will dig in search of roots to eat. Predators Due to its small size, the Mikraxekinimata is preyed upon by almost every single predator on Teraminos. Some creatures have narrow enough snouts that allows them to poke them into the holes and grab hiding Mikraxekinimata. Trivia After the meteor impact, most of the Mikraxekinimata's predators disappeared from Teraminos. Due to its ability to eat roots deep within the soil and the insects still being quite common, it was able to survive the event and eventually evolved into the massive Longuscollidon.
This is the new old age "Longuscollidon", as I now think its unlikely for baby Longuscollidons to survive the meteor strike. Also I got too lazy to make a vector for this, so enjoy this very quick sketch that I did lol.
