Species StandardsPreferred Habitat: Varies by breed - In general however, Chiryma prefer large open areas with lots of room to run. For more specific information, please seek below in "breed differences". Diet: When Babies and Juveniles, they mainly eat fruits, vegetables, and grains - and will occasionally add a small insect, lizard (or other tiny creature) into the diet for protein. As adults however, they are complete omnivores, eating any plant worth eating, or any animal that might be edible. Call: The most common call of this creature, is during its baby stage when its only sound is a simple little "peep". As it grows older, this same sound will deepen, and become a little more varied, making a sound that could best be described as a "brock" noise. Unlike their previous cousins, the v.2 Chiryma has also (in its older stages) mastered a terrifying screech-roar sound, known only to those who have heard it. The best it can be compared to, is the hunting-call of the dash-claw. Luckily, hearing this sound is extremely rare. Also - like their previous cousins, the Chiryma v.2 are very good empaths, and it is said that they can communicate quite easily via their antennae. Special Care Needs: Though these creatures are rather social like their previous cousins, they are much less needy. Their family groups are generally a lot smaller - and as such, they prefer to make one strong bond with a single person, rather than need a bond with dozens of companions to keep them happy. Luckily (though it takes out some "cute" factor), their antennae are hidden inside a hard horn-like casing, which helps to protect them from damage. Biology and Anatomy: Their antennae are things of a curious nature, they're like literal "brain wave" antennae, taking in all mental and/or psychic information, giving them not only social benefits - but also helping to protect them from danger, and being able to (to a older and more experienced Chiryma) detect prey. They're much smaller than their other Chiryma cousins - and much more agile. Their cousins may be built more for long-distance endurance travel, but the Chiryma v.2 are sprinters. As babies, their bodies (including their horns) are covered in a thick downy fuzz to help keep them protected and warm. Behavioral Study: Their empathy is strong (just as with their cousins), but it is much more "dumbed down" - and honed into a specific purpose. Where-as the previous Chiryma were more prey animals until they reached their full potential - the Chiryma v.2 are more predatory, preferring to use their empathy to locate prey, rather than sense danger and communicate with the pack (though they still can). Their social groups are also much smaller. They usually consist of a single dominant female, led by 1-3 males, and of course, her offspring. It's not uncommon for a (large) group of Chiryma v.2 to be no more than 5 individuals. It is also not uncommon for a Chiryma v.2 to be living by itself. Suggested Uses: The main use for this creature is to serve as an extremely loyal mount. When it is an adult, it will gladly carry its bonded rider. If one is seeking a companion for life (especially on the road), then this is certainly the creature for you. |
