The dahon develop two rows of small patches along their sides which allow them to sense movements trough the water. They use this sense to both locate small prey, as well as warning against potential predators.

The dahon develop flippers and their tail becomes wider. Both of these traits help the creature to swim faster.

Some of the river dahon become more predatory.
They develop slits on the undersides of their "wings" which allow them to grab tighter on objects. Their mouth parts also became sharper, allowing them to pierce the flesh of bigger creatures. These leech-like dahon infest the waters and swamps of the continent.
They suck blood and rip pieces of flesh from anyone who comes to the path of their swarms.

A splinter species of the Dahons adapt to the shallow lakes and ponds that have formed due to the dams of roots and detritus all across the azrach forests. These dahons feed mostly on the dead plant matter and thus they have gained more sensitive tentacles that help them detect potential scraps of food and bring it to their mouths. They have also gained an improved digestive system, that allows them to handle the higher amounts of detritus in their diet. 

===Balloon Dahon===

The increasing amount of decaying matter in their diet and certain chemicals released in the volcanic activity cause buildup of gas within the bodies of the swamp dahons.
Eventually, by eating the detritus at the bottom of the shallow lakes, the swamp dahon's body will become inflated with methane and other lighter than air gases. This has led to the birth of a new species of dahon.
These dahons are capable of surviving while floating in the air, while their still water bound cousins are unable to. These balloon dahons feed on smaller creatures, algae and detritus they manage to catch with their long tentacles. 

The balloon dahons have become active predators. Their tentacles now have jellyfish like poison stingers, that launch poisonous darts when something they sense a living creature near them with the small sensory hairs.
The darts contain powerful neurotoxin and the speed and the close range in which they are launched ensure that the dart pierces the skin of the victim.
They also have sharp fanged suckers on their tentacles that help them hold and manipulate their victim's lifeless body.

When their prey has died, depending on it's size, they will either lift it to their mouth and consume it immediately, or they will start to cut it into smaller pieces with their fanged suckers.

The balloon dahons are basically flying jellyfishes or siphonophores.  

===Bladder Dahon===

A remaining strain of Dahon start developing a bladder on their foreheads that they can inflate through a nostril-like gill; this allows them to spend most of their time deeper in the swamp waters, out of the reach of predators, but rise to the surface to feed on algae. 

===Upright Dahon===

The bladdered Dahon's posture changes to accomodate a larger air bladder.
They spend a large majority of their time at the surface, staying bouyant with inflated bladders, picking at the surface algae with their tentacles. When they sense dangerous movement in the water through the lateral lines on their sides, they deflate their bladders through their lower gills and retreat into the water. 
The upright Dahons' combination of a lateral line and light-sensitive eye is plenty while submerged but prove limited for life at the surface.
Their eyes develop a hard lens with a pupil for focus and decent vision of the swamp outside of the water, letting them spot a potential threat before it even breaks the surface.
