Why it evolved
Intensified competition for mates and territory drives selection for individuals with more potent Resonance abilities, allowing them to dominate rivals or intimidate prey. This escalation comes at the cost of increased energy expenditure for maintaining the amplified resonance-organ and a leaner build, making them more susceptible to starvation during lean times. The narrower focus on direct competition for resources, driven by the booming population on the volcanic plains, means less energy is available for robust scavenging, a trait previously crucial for survival.
