Species Standards
Prefered Habitat: The Gallor are found in various places of the world, each breed with it's own habitat,
please check breed differences below for details.
Diet: Gallor will only eat meats - and are picky eaters at that.. they won't eat anything "processed", so
industrial carnivore feed is out of the question... Even the most friendly of Gallor eat meat! So don't be
decieved by bright colors, and buy fruit!
Call: Gallor make all sorts of cries, usually the kind that reminds one of the great eagle's "tseeear" - but
sometimes, it's rumored that an angry Gallor can roar gallantly, to frighten away opponents.. and.. it's also
rumored, that they can purr.
Special Care Needs: Gallor are very vain creatures, and need to be groomed frequently... Make sure to pet
them often, and oil their feathers, and brush their fur... If you don't, they get grumpy, and a grumpy gallor is
never a good thing... Juvenile Gallor are especially tough, as this is the age when they start to explore
everything! Be prepared to have them knocking over vases, digging in potted plants, jumping up on
counters, and using your sofa as a scratching-post!
Biology and Anatomy: Gallors are a delecate balance between a bird and a feline. They have a basic body
structure of a cat, but with bird claws and head, and wings sprouting from their shoulderblades (the Aptery
breed being the only exception). They all have cat-like tails, which are used to aid in steering while in flight,
as well as balance. Their bones are hollow like a bird's, so as to keep them aloft while flying. However, as
with the bumblebee, many people say that they shouldn't be able to fly. Non-retractable claws and a sharp
beak keep them safe from natural predetors, and deliver the killing blow to prey. Gallor have cat-like ears,
which can rotate in almost any direction, giving them keen hearing. Their eyes are more akin to bird's,
though they do have the feline's ability to see in the dark. If you shine a light just right, the Gallor's eyes will
glow.
Behavioral Study: Though extrememly vain and high tempered, once in a group, Gallor work well together.
There's usually one lead male in the group, and several females... One might be reminded of lions - where
the female is the most important part of the group, but the male is much needed as well, and the core
protector. Males can get along together, but are usually too territorial to try - it's best to introduce males at a
young age... Though males are the "protectors", they tend to be more relaxed when around family, and can
be the most affectionate, where as the females are usually more independant - though great group workers.
Suggested Uses: Many use gallor as fighting companions, such as one would use a lion.. the Dauntless
Gallor is rumored to be used as a flying mount when an adult, and the Glamour.. Well.. it's just for show,
and is often used as an exotic pet.
Dauntless: Dauntless are quite powerful, and the largest of all the gallor.. Their temper is also one to
match, as there seems to be nothing that will cause them to change their mind, once it's made up...
Stubborn, that's the best way to put it.. If they're loyal, they'll often die in battle for their owners, or family
members, as NOTHING will ever make them flee.
Glamour: Glamour is small.. about the size of a small dog... It's bright feathers usually catch everyone's
attention, and they tend to be extrememly playful, like a kitten, or a parrot... In fact, it's rumored that those two
very creatures are their origin!
Stealth: Stealth prefer to live in the colder regions of the world.. in fact, too much heat is bad for them, and
they can easily die of heat exhaust. When both stalking, and flying, their feet and wings are silent.. they make
no noise when they move.. and thus, can easily sneak up upon their prey.
Celerity: Celerity is by far the fastest of the Gallor, reaching ridiculous speeds (90 mph on ground, and
almost 275 in the air!).. They're quite dainty though, and can never be ridden by anyone larger than a small
child (no more than 110 lbs). They prefer open spaces though, and can get quite jumpy and nervous when
in an enclosed area, even a wide forest! So be careful not to cramp them!
Aptery: The Aptery breed lives in burrows underground. Usually found in either woodlands or dryer regions
(such as deserts), these burrowing (wingless) Gallor are much larger than their cousins. Hefty, Bulky, and
fierce protectors of their dens, these gallor make wonderful guard pets
