Species such as the Bzzit Khaht and Sarsith were originally aquatic species who evolved to to become walking amphibians. [1] [2] Many species such as the Hranrarii are sensitive to changing atmospheric conditions and temperatures. [3] Many amphibians could regrow lost limbs. [4] Species like the Kemorans could submerge for lengthy periods of time. [5]
