Name: Climbing Kerelia Green Ivy Type: Plant Habitat: It varies from zone to zone. It grows great in any kind of rich moist soil. It loves partial shade, often seen climbing up dead trees. It's non-invasive if controlled. It thrives in warm humid climates and grows rapidly. Description: Resembling Earth's grape leaves, the ivy is a non-poisonous plant. It has 'feeler' vines, but it doesn't really use them to harm other trees if alive. It will creep up and the vines will cling off of limbs. It can grow about 10 - 12 feet. Controlled, less than a 1 foot. The plant is clustered, but not three leaves like poison ivy. The ivy produces small 'grape-like berries' during the spring and fall. The berries are sweet and juicy. They produce red and yellow berries. The berries are about 2-3 inches. In early spring, the plant will flower beautiful sweet smelling, red-green blooms which turn into fruit towards full spring. In the summer, the fruit dries out and similar to grapes, they turn into raisins. Behaviour: For a plant, they aren't really an animal. They are non-invasive if controlled. Uncontrolled, they can become hard to control and it will be like trying to tame it. Other notes: They aren't poisonous and are great decoration or garden plant. They require a climbing surface. If they don't have any climbing surface, they will become a creeping ivy plant across the ground. They smother other plants if left to crawl across the ground. They would rather crawl upwards, to the sun. Kabons love this plant as a food source. They will eat the leaves and the fruit. The plant has no sentience.

Name: Pokka Type: Mammalian Habitat: They can be found in both forest and coastal areas Description: The Pokka is a small marsupial type mammal, similar in size to a Terran house cat. It can weigh up to 11lbs and grows to a maximum height of 21 inches, with a tail half that size. The Pokka's build is rather stocky with strong hind legs, round ears and a short round head. It is also primarily a grizzled brown colour, although its fur can be faded in places and has a lifespan of 10 years. Behaviour: The Pokka is a herbivore, that only comes out at night. It is a curious creature, although when threatened it has no problem, throwing its young to distract would be predators. The Pokka tend to live in small family units of four, which consist of parents and two offspring. The females can produce two "Joey's" a year and their gestation period only lasts a month. Once the offspring reach roughly 18 months, they will move on and start units of their own and the cycle will then repeat. Other notes: The Pokka can climb small trees and their burrows are usually covered by large fern like plants, hiding them from view, especially when sleeping during the day. They also drink lots of water and their preferred foods are long grasses and leaves. The Pokka

Name: Tail-less Kerelian Dog Type: Canine Habitat: This canine lives in the jungle. It prefers water ways and rivers. It is often seen alone. Description: Big black friendly eyes, grey-white coat, no tail. It has floppy ears with tufts of fur on the head, and legs. It ranges from medium 8-10 to large breed 12-14. Behaviour: Friendly, non-aggressive. Curious. It acts like a domesticated dog and often follows anyone. It doesn't really have a pack mentality. It does mark it's territory and loves treats. It is a meat-eater, but won't hunt anything bigger than it. It prefers small game. It loves to swim. Other notes: Not an aggressive dog. It is said it resembles a sheep but without a tail. It barks like a regular canine. It whines when it's in pain. It whimpers when it's afraid. The way to also tell if the Kerelian dog is afraid is if it's back legs shake and they start panting a mile minute. It also marks it's territory with a strong odor of ammonia and urine. Does not poo where it sleeps.

Lyric, for the moment we'll be leaving the Kerelian Dog off the directory, but we can resubmit a little later, perhaps when we've explored other regions of the planet. I think for now our little spot of jungle has enough diversity. ;D
Submissions for Kerelia have been CLOSED for now. Thank you everyone for your assistance in populating this planet with interesting and varied life!

Name: Tritter Type: Mammalian, troglobiontHabitat: Tritters are predominantly cave-dwelling, and will spend 3-4 months of every complete orbital cycle underground. Description: An adult tritter can reach the height of 33-36cm and a length of 46-55cm, with a weight of 4.1-4.8kgs. Females are mostly indistinguishable from males. They are a light pink colour, and their skin is extremely sensitive to sunlight, so much so that they will limit any necessary time in the light to crepuscular periods. They are quadrupedal, with four strong, sinewy legs that grant them impressive speed and jumping ability. Their vision is binocular and they have a total of six sets of eyes, though having evolved to be cave-dwellers, they see best in the dark. Their olfactory system is about the equivalent of a domestic Earth canine, but with their speed, sharp, needle-like teeth and talons, they can rip through the flesh of any prey in a matter of seconds. Behaviour: Tritters congregate in huge social groups during the breeding season. They retreat to a labyrinthine cave system beneath a mountain range approximately two kilometers from the LZ-1 site, and remain there for 3-4 months in total. It is believed that the initial survey party landed during one of these periods, and hence missed any trace of the creatures altogether. Their offspring stay within the caves with the adults until they are developed enough to venture outside with the entire group. They are carnivorous, and during their breeding season they will predominantly subsist on a diet of crustacea, and other troglobionts such as flatworms and mollusca. Outside of breeding seasons they will supplement their diets with other jungle mammalia, while hunting together in smaller troops. The most noted and important behaviour is their extreme aversion to technology, specifically anything that generates a frequency above 30 MHz. It will attract the attention of any tritter within a 1 km radius. They react violently and often exhibit confusion and pain when in close proximity. When threatened, tritters will rarely respond individually; they gather in super-groups for defense as well as breeding. While humanoids have not been predated upon in the traditional sense by tritters, they are considered opportunistic feeders, and when in large groups present an overwhelming force. Other notes: On Captain Felicity Ellis' orders, LZ-1 and the colonisation project of the immediate area was abandoned. Efforts were later refocused on cultivating LZ-2, which is the coastal equivalent. There have been no sightings of tritters beyond the LZ-1 boundary.
