Microdontognathus, more commonly called a Small-Tusked Whikiut are large ostomesa which can be found littering the Digeroran Mountains. They travel in small herds with about 7-10 members in them, with about half of that being chicks which are excluded from the herd once they reach maturity. Microdontognathus are remarkably good at climbing considering their size, able to scale steep hills with relative ease to reach plants, they will also use their small tusks to assist in digging out tubers from the rocks. Though they primarily graze on moss and tubers Small-Tusked Whikiuts also supplement their diet with hardy plants and even fruits and nuts. They keep their eggs in crevices near their herds grazing spots, staying nearby until their eggs hatch and then moving on with their chicks, chicks lack the distinctive ‘beards’ of this genus until adulthood. Microdontognatus use their ‘beards’ along with specialized calls to assist in mating, usually resulting in herds resembling harem systems, with one graiparent and the rest being oviparents.

Chymognathus, more commonly called a Sap Leech are poisonous ostoexoapo found in the Digeroran Mountains. They are rich with a poison derived from the sap of Spirotrypta, which makes them broadly inedible to most seelenlos, except for the few ostomesa adapted to eat them. Their proboscis is elongated and adapted to boring into the wood of solumykitas and sederemischos, feeding primarily on the sap, though they will supplement their diet with nectar from Ananthocarpos and Altuplatydendron. Chymognathus use their stripes on their encased proboscis in mating displays, showing off their age and fitness to other mates, after mating Sap Leech will lay their eggs inside burrows they fed from.

Brachiodermodos, more commonly called a Etakru Flapper are small rodent-esque synchonakros. Brachiodermodos live in kits of 10 or so adults, they engage in minimal to no parental behaviour, loosely burying their eggs in crevices between the rocks and moving on upon hatching, their young however are rather precocial which benefits this behaviour. Beyond this Etakru Flappers are highly social, using their small petagium off of their forelimbs as display signals, the photoluminescent circles on them allowing for their displays to function properly even in the darkness of the night. Their sexual display involves standing on exclusively their hindlimbs for as long as they can, holding their forelimbs laterally, whoever falls first ends up being the oviparent, they frequently use their fatty tails for support during these display rituals. Brachiodermodos are generalist herbivores, eating all sorts of plant matter except for wood and solumykitas, eating moss, leaves, nuts, seedpods, fruits, and all sorts of other kinds of plant matter, keeping nutrients stored in their fatty tail incase they struggle to find food. Etakru Flappers are remarkably good climbers, with the assistance of their claws they climb anything from rocks to trees with ease, allowing them a wide profile of food.

A map of the planet Natiaco, a planet just on the border of the outer ring of The ◗ta Empire. It is the planet which Letak is a citizen of, and the planet she lived on full time with her family before her accident. It is a Drekol colony planet, and as such the majority of the sophont population is Drekol, though there is a ◗ta population, and a small amount of longterm Ap residents.

Stenopteryx, more commonly called a Narrow-Chested Flutterer are uniquely narrow labatur found on the Digeroran mountains. Due to their decent size their prey not only includes ostoexoapo, but also rokanizo, this wider feeding profile benefits the seelenlos greatly, allowing them to maintain said size. Though they tend to coexist with other members of their genera in shared nests they remain quite asocial, only sleeping in these shared nests and not much else. Once a Narrow-Chested Flutterer has mated they will find a new place to nest in solitude to brood their eggs and raise their chicks, once their chicks are capable of their own flight they oviparent abandons them outright to fend for themselves and returns to the shared nest. Stenopteryx mating involves elaborate songs and racing, the one who tires first becomes the oviparent, they will usually find their mates out in the night during hunting.

Fructavis, more commonly called a Mountain Singer are small drache that riddle the mountains of Digerora. They feed on the berry clusters of Altuplatydendron frequently, using their specialized beak to do so with ease, in the process they incidentally carry pollen from one Mountain Spike-Tree to another. They are most commonly found on the Etakru Mountain Range, which has given it its name, Etakru being borrowed into Maschoran from the Etakru Peoples language meaning ‘Singing Mountains’. Mountain Singers travel in small loose flocks, usually landing on an Altuplatydendron with one flock and leaving with another. When a Fructavis wants to reproduce they will begin singing a specialized song, which will attract mates, who will sing with each other to narrow down who will be oviparents and who graiparents, these ‘singing flocks’ are quite common. Their yellow archeina also play a role in this sexual display, the more vibrant yellow the more likely to be a graiparent, oviparents will raise their chicks alone, keeping them safe on the treetops, bringing food back for them. Once their young learn to fly they are usually abandoned by their oviparent and left to fend for themselves. If you have any questions about this organism please don’t be afraid to ask.

Acanthophyte, more commonly called a Thorn Bush are medium sized sederemischos. They are rather thorny, having small thorns running along their branches and poking out of the plants moss cover itself to avoid being grazed on, these thorns are also laced with burlike pollen, which will then get carried to other Acanthophytes. When a Thorn Bush receives enough pollen from another bush they will begin sprouting small nuts on their externalmost thorns, which are frequently eaten by herbivorous seelenlos. Acanthophytes aren’t found as often the closer you get to the mountains peak, instead being found closer to the base. If you have any questions about this organism please don’t be afraid to ask.

Pachyodus, more commonly called a Mountain Cuptongue are small generalist synchonakros, they are very prolific across the mountains of Digerora, rarely hunting prey larger than their maximum size. Pachyodus live in burrows made out of crevices between rocks, but will move and make a different burrow once gravid, they will then tend to their chicks until they’re mature enough to leave the burrow themselves, at that point the oviparent will abandon their burrow and return to their old burrow provided it hasn’t been taken by another organism in the meantime. Mountain Cuptongues will feed on anything they can come across, eggs, fruits, nuts, corpses, small ostomesa, ostoexoapo, even ichthyongiu and thalasentomo if the opportunity arises. On the occasion that their burrows are taken they will squeak at each other and if neither backs down begin to bite until one backs down, burrow sharing is a very rare behaviour in Pachyodus.
