Species Standards
Prefered Habitat: High temperatures in green areas like forests, rainforests and similar places with a lot of
cover are what will make your pet feel the most at home. If you have no such place for your creature, the
best you can do is to make sure the area is warm and provides at least one place for the creature where it’s
impossible to notice it.
Diet: The Ghaenelt digest large amounts of meat and is certainly not picky about where the meat has come
from. Even though it does not eagerly search for fruits, it will not refuse eating them if they are being offered
or if it finds them lying around. It might be good to know some owners have discovered that which we call
the most poisonous of spiders; the Ghaenelt calls a lovely snack.
Call: The species utter a wide range of screeches and the screeching becomes more high-pitched the
happier the Ghaenelt is. When a Ghaenelt is angry it will ‘speak’, make clicking noises with its tongue.
Special Care Needs: A Ghaenelt need a lot of space to roam or it will act aggressive in order to defend its
home – and occasionally its group – against ‘intruders’. Never mind it looks quite amusing; let it have its
personal space. They will also need a hole in the ground or a cave for them to sleep in, as they do not have
the strength to dig or carve one themselves just yet. Beware of those Quills!
Biology and Anatomy: The calcified bone-like plate that goes over their head does not come off, as it's part
of it's body. Likewise, the thorns on the hind legs protect it from damage as it runs away, not that it needs to
frequently. The quills upon their back can both rise and fall according to it's mood, flattening when they're
happy or calm, and raising to defend themselves. The plating along their neck not only serves to help
protect the blood vessels, but also "rattles" when they're angry to provide a warning.
Behavioral Study: The species is rather independent and Ghaenelts will often walk far away from their
owners to explore their surroundings. After they have started to feel comfortable in an area they will even
start guarding their territory from beings they have not been introduced to yet. The Ghaenelt sleeps until
midday where after it… prowls, so to speak. Indeed, the creature is already teaching itself how to hunt. But
the results vary greatly at this stage of life.
Suggested Uses: None. But keeping one may result in the population of bugs in your area being greatly
reduced. If you’re looking for something more useful you might want to return here once they’ve grown
older, when they become marvelous companions and "guard dogs".

| Breeds Available |
Hydra: The hydra breed sure is interesting, no? The heads on its body seem to work independently of each
other and yet it (or they?) walks around with no difficulty at all! An odd trait is that this creature prefers
keeping itself company rather than at least acknowledging the presence of other beings. As such this
creature is harder to train when you have to earn its respect at first.
Common: Well, this breed is quite boring to look at. They seem to be the most cheerful and active of the
breeds, but that’s the only extraordinary feature. This is likely to be the last breed to retire as nobody seems
to really want them.
Steel: This breed is almost identical to the Common, except for the different colouring and a tendency to be
extremely curious. In fact it’s almost impossible to keep the Steel away from something if it catches their
eye… little buggers... They love to collect shiny objects, and can become quite agressive when hoarding
them away - once they've "aquired" something, it's best not to take it away from them.
Stagnant: The Stagnant breed seems to have "risen above it's sickness" - in all senses of the phrase. It can
not only fly, but it can control the powers of shadow and illness, causing blight across the land wherever it
flies.. unless, of course - you were good enough to take care of yours while it was so weak, ill, and in need
of love.. For if you cared for it well enough, no "blight" could ignore love - and the Stagnant would be a loyal
companion... otherwise...

| WEB Code For personal web-pages and "profiles" (like on subeta). |
| UBB Code For signitures and forums (like our roleplay section). |
| Junglecreeper JungleCreepers are a rare breed of Gaenelt indeed.. they are extremely secretive, and spend their time stalking in the darkness of their jungle homes.. you may not be able to ever see one in the wild, as they blend in very well - but the labs have managed to import a few. |
| Shadowcreeper The ShadowCreepers are a pitch-black breed, rumored to be able to control the shadows themselves! |
| Disinfected The Disinfected is a Stagnant Ghaenelt that received it's cure before it became too late.. Of course - now it's too late for all Stagnants that didn't receive their cure in time.. too bad. |
