Cang Er Zi - Release Exterior: Wind Cold
(LU) - (3-9g)

 

... Cang Er Zi evolved into Kangaroo during the ice age.

Before the Cang Er Zi evolved into the Kangaroo it roamed during the windy ice age and had a much longer snout that helped to open its nasal passages. The Kangerzi loved to play in the windy rain, but its skin itched when it got done playing.

Its a good thing the Kangeroo evolved into being. Otherwise we would have no bouncy animals at all! But too much bouncing can cause (cc: blood deficient headaches) and an overdose of bouncing will surely cause (cc: overdose 100g may cause vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain)
