Species Standards
Prefered Habitat: Anywhere with lots of companionship.
Diet: Malii are very picky eaters, and eat seafood only. If you have a Gem Malii, they may choose to eat
poultry, but once you feed a Gem Malii either poultry or seafood, it sticks with that for the rest of its life. Wet
cat food flavored like their favorite food serves as a special treat, and is handy while training.
Call: Malii make a very soft sound as babies, somewhere between a meow and a baa, but they grow into
loud 'BWARK' as they get older. Any Malii, male or female, no matter what breed, make a sound like a cross
between a piano and a howl during breeding season, and the female picks the male with the sound
closest to her own.
Special Care Needs: Malii are extremely easy to care for, and aside from the occasional horn polishing
(careful, it's sharp!), they don't need any more care than you would give a dog.
Biology and Anatomy: Although they may look cat-like, these critters are actually more closely related to
creatures such as the fossa and mongoose. Their five distinctive tails move uniformly, although it is
possible for them to move one at a time, it is much like a human curling their toes- easier to move all at
once. Their horns are quite sharp, and it isn't advised to test the tip on any vital body parts. Although their
eyes are eerily white, Malii are perfectly capable of perceiving and understanding optic stimuli.
Behavioral Study: Malii are perfectly capable of acquiring their own food, through differences in the breed
differences section. However, through trial and error, researchers have found out that whatever type of Malii
you have, they absolutely loathe having their tails touched. It is speculation that if a Malii allows its owner to
touch its tail, good fortune will befall the owner. If you happen to have a Malii that allows you to touch, or
even to stroke its tails, you either have a very stupid or a very loyal Malii. It is said that Malii that are cared for
by one owner since they were eggs are the most loyal of all, and will allow you to pet their tails.
Suggested Uses: Malii are companion animals by nature.
Akui: Akui Malii are by far the most antisocial of all Malii. If you are looking for a companion, the Dark Malii
should be the first choice you cross out of your list. They are often good fighting pit fighters, because of their
apathy for the pain of others, but they are occasionally disqualified for attacking something other than their
opponent. Dark Malii have horns that seem to also be infused with odd powers.. Most of which, are
unknown.
Zeni: The Zeni Malii is by nature the most loyal Malii of all, and will often allow a female to pet its tails (like
unicorns). Their horns look as though they are made of pure diamond, and some researchers think that it is
infused with some sort of magical power.
Fire: Fire Malii are the most aggressive of the Malii breeds, and with the combination of their fire and their
temper, they can be deadly to anyone who doesn't know how to take care of them! They can also be fierce
fighters in the fighting pit, but only with the proper training and guidance.
Woodland: The woodland breed is quite outgoing - and usually causes trouble. Their mischievious nature
tends to cause trouble when training, but they are by no means hyper, or "snobby" like vupline vulticus!
They're actualy quite passive, and prefer to watch the world go by with a rather wise gaze...
Gem: Gem Malii are the most common of the Malii, and their brighly colored pelt makes them highly sought
after as pets.

Raincloud Raincloud is the most bored and depressed little Malii you've ever seen! It will lay about for hours on end, sighing to itself, and staring longingly out the window... Rumors have it, that when it rains, the raincloud is responsible.. And when there's a rainbow in the sky, the creature's personality flips to become the sweetest and happiest thing in the whole world! Do you suppose it can grant wishes..?
