Ancient and Extinct Gemigons
Ancient Gemigons & Their History
Rock Trolls/Sentinels
Rock trolls, also known as sentinels, were the first "gemigons". They lived on one massive super continent on their planet. Their skeletons were made of extremely hard rock that did not grow through their skin, and they had normal teeth/claws. Most were somewhat gentle giants, though they were exclusively carnivorous and required a lot of food to keep themselves going. While they were smart, they weren't nearly as intelligent as gemigons. Other than some appearance similarities, they really weren't much like gemigons at all.
Akator Trolls
After the super continent split, sentinels began to evolve into smaller, fluffier creatures to adapt to the much colder temperatures of Akator. Their long, saber-like teeth grew up and outwards instead of down, and they began to have less of a hunched back. Their tails became a lot less thick and their colors started to become more vibrant. They also started becoming smarter and developed some primitive societies.
Gemigons
After the events of the Wish, Akator trolls began to quickly evolve; for each new generation, there was a noticeable change. The first things to go were the manes, long tusks, and tails, which slowly shrank. Some also started losing their nose, and instead had the current gemigon noses. After a while, gemigons began to develop their gem skeletons. It was an extremely painful transformation, as their rock skeletons began to be more geode-like. The gems inside exploded out of their bones at a certain age and grew all over them, breaking through their skin. Eventually, the geode skeletons began to change into regular gem skeletons. This entire unnatural evolution took about 2000 years, which was only about ten generations for Akator trolls.

Extinct Gemigons
When gemigons first transformed to have bones made of gems and crystal instead of rock, they could be made of any kind of gem/mineral/crystal imaginable. The distribution of gems was equal for a while, but after some time, the softer gems began to die out. This is because they were much, much weaker and therefore were easy prey and could easily die or be killed. After only a few years, the very softest gems became completely extinct and have not been seen since. There are still some gems that are lower on the scale, but they are extremely rare to come across.
Some gemigons have attempted to bring back the soft gems again, but it has so far been in vain. Many gemigons dislike the idea of attempting to bring back these gems, as they were too weak to survive for very long anyways.
