Art & Things

Twiituk populate the rain forests, swamps, and marshes of the planet Luria. Using their claws and strong limbs, they dig burrows in the mud and soil. Their beaks are sharp and strong, allowing them to rip apart tough vegetation (bark, nuts, fruit), and tear into any carrion or small prey.

Young Lurians are taught over and over throughout their lives to honor and respect the lives of the animals around them. Older family members will tell dark tales of lone hunters, those who think little of the creatures around them and kill with cruelty and greed.

Crowned Saurvos are a species of quadrupedal, two-toed animals that inhabit the plains and forests of Luria. Using their large beaks, they cut the stems of fruit and foliage in their habitat. They get their name from the group of large feathers adorning their heads, which can be fluffed up in a threat or mating display.

Saurvos are a bi-sex species, living in small herds that comprise of a dominant male, several females, and young. The males fight using their sharp beaks, claws, and spurs. Males are called bucks, females are called does.

Young saurvos are called crias or fawns, and are covered with a white downy coat that gradually sheds as they age. Their eyes start blue and change to brown, hazel or green as they get older. Crowned saurvos like to nest, laying clutches of 1-3 large eggs on the ground in the early warm season.

While not fully domesticated, Lurians like to tame & raise them for use as companions and work animals. They are hardy and use their secondary nostrils to sense changes in air pressure and wind direction. Lem is an older crowned saurvo, he was owned by Stella's sister Helia before her and Orbis' disappearance.
