The Houyi developed 180 degree light and inferrad vision, which they use to hunt the cloaked Usmal at night. Using their stabilizing peg,  they charge forward as they unhinge their to rip prey to shreds. As the Houyi started to prey on larger more agressive creatures, They lost their horns but developed a rear spike. Their replaced its upper endoskeleton with cartilage. This allowed the beast to unhinge its toothy jaw to horrific proportions.

By eating and compressing sand then coating it in mucus the Houyi creates sand javelins. To launch them, it "sneezes" at the target. The projectiles fly far and in a large cluster. They developed a hollow back carapace to store up to 40 javelins.

Their balance shifted. Their legs adapted for running and jumping, while their back blade adapted into a tail that helps stabilize the creature. Their ankle claws developed joints, allowing the creature to move them. This was helpful for the young houyi, as it allowed them to climb around easier. They Houyi pounces at prey using its powerful legs. Their tongue became longer, stronger, and more dexterous. They used it to grab and constrict other creatures. When running, the tongue is folded neatly inside their massive maws.
