Species Standards
Prefered Habitat: Inkrum live at the seashore, be it beaches or sea-cliffs... They nest on the sandy shores,
but to escape danger, are perfectly able climbers and climb the hazardous cliffs with perfect skill.
Diet: Although their prefered food is bamboo, they eat very little of it as their prefered habitat is the sea-side,
and there is little to no bamboo there.. They rarely go inland to feed, but are able to store lots of food within'
their shell.
Call: These creatures have not been known to make any noises.
Special Care Needs: Because they are quite sturdy, these creatures are difficult to damage... You could
probably drop one 200 feet and it would not suffer any damage. They can withstand a great amount of
weight as well, as one could have a car placed on top of it, and it's shell would still not be crushed.
However, this sturdy body also provides a stubborn mindset, and many owners have as much of a difficult
time training one as one would have with a mule.
Biology and Anatomy: The inkrum is a curious creature indeed, many mysteries surround them as they
have supposedly died off, but some people have seen these majestic shelled creatures upon the beaches
playing and sunning themselves. They are shelled, yes, like a turtle which is their main defense against
any creature or attacker (if it is humanoid in nature) and also serves as their "home" when they are out and
about. Wings adorn each side of this protective shell, they are feathered, like a bird, and sure enough they
can carry this creature flying if need be, assuring any owner that they are indeed light despite their heavy
appearance. The only parts of their body unarmoured are their six legs and their ears which are always
sticking out from their shell. Their ears are delicate so keeping them with a seeker is not a good idea (even
though they are heavily armoured) Any owner should take pride in their shells seeing as they are very rare
to see and any person could be proud of their shining armor, besides, they can't clean it themselves all too
well. No one really knows what's in the inkrum shell as they never seem to come out to say hello, even to
their owners!
Behavioral Study: Excelent jumpers, they attack their predators by leaping at their foes, and hurling thier
own shelled body at them. Little damage is ever done to the Inkrum this way... It does not really do any
damage to their predators, but it is a spectacular scare tactic. The Inkrum love this activity so much, that it is
not uncommon to see several Inkrum playing "leapfrog" on the beach, which is quite the sight to see (like a
jumping beetle). Although they are a shelled creature, they are anything but sluggish - though, one of the
least dangerous creatures you could encounter.
Suggested Uses: Their cliff climbing ability is saught after by mountain climbers - for this creature is very
sturdy, and able to climb a sheer cliff, even with a full-grown man holding onto it's back... Almost a free ride
for anyone wishing to scale a dangerous cliff-side.
Seaspray: Other than simple color, there are no differences between the two breeds. The Seaspray breed
however, is the preference of the species' purchaser, Griffin, who wanted such a creature to have a green
shell.
Sunset: Other than simple color, there are no differences between the two breeds. The Sunset breed was
only created because the scientists at MML felt the creature should have more matching colors - and thus,
the Sunset breed was born. Sadly though, because this creature was not what the client requested, there
were not so many made - and they have become limited edition due to lack of supply.

Flutter Inkrum If you use a special potion on your Inkrum - it may very well turn into a Flutter Inkrum! The Inkrum shown here is the Seaspray variety - but any color Inkrum can be turned into a Flutter, even customs and Offspring!. In addition to this - from now on, when you breed Inkrum, it may be a Flutter or Striker (you never really know).

Striker Inkrum If you use a special potion on your Inkrum - it may very well turn into a Striker Inkrum! The Inkrum shown here is the Seaspray variety - but any color Inkrum can be turned into a Striker, even customs and Offspring!. In addition to this - from now on, when you breed Inkrum, it may be a Striker or Flutter (you never really know).
