The foaming squander lives farther north than most amphibian megafauna can exist. As the Earth gradually becomes a cooler, dryer place, the squander has found in the cooler climates a refuge largely devoid of predators large enough to pose them a threat. In doing so, the squander has become even more adapted for the cold via a very unique adaptation, its eponymous foam.

Specialized pores on the squander’s back produce a sustaining flow of air into  a thick, gelatinous mucus covering its body. The result is a thick, sometimes towering  covering of insulating foam. The foam traps heat within its structure, allowing the squander to carry its heat with it. Similarly to how our timeline’s polar bears survive the arctic, the translucent foam allows heat to to enter its structure, while the squander’s dark skin helps it retain that heat.

The squander travel in nomadic herds, often clumping together during inclement weather to pool their heat resources, with the youngest and weakest at the center of the pile.
