Organism: Goliath
Ancestor: Chomper
Selective Pressure: Competition amongst other predators
Mutation: A stronger shell with spikes. When a Goliath outgrows its shell, it sheds its shell, and absorbs water and increases in size. Within a few hours of shedding, a new shell begins to harden. During this period, the Goliath will hide amongst rocks or bury itself in sand until its shell hardens. By molting, a Goliath can grow up to 1/3 of its size per molt.
