Entu Species Information
10 years ago
The Entu are omnivorous creatures that generally dwell in desert-like environments. They often live in packs of 10-15, but are also known for branching off on their own. Mating season begins just as the hotter months roll in, as it is a good time to keep their eggs well incubated. Females can lay up to 10 eggs and will protect them for their 30 incubation period. As the hatchlings begin chipping themselves out of their eggs using their chick-like fortified beaks, their parents will hunt and nurture them (by delivering regurgitated cacti for hydration) for the first 2 years of their life.
When the hatchlings reach their fledgling stage, their parents will begin teaching them how to hunt for themselves. At first they will
hunt together, but after a good few months of practice they will finally be able to tackle smaller prey on their own.
The entu's diet mostly consists of cacti and small rodents as they are more abundant and easier to catch, but they will also take on larger prey if the opportunity presents itself. They grow no larger than a German Shepard, so they will not take on many larger animals by themselves.
When the Entu are not hunting they can often be found basking on rocks or lying in the sands. They are not often active at night, but it is known that some Entu prefer certain night dwelling creatures as a midnight snack.
An Entu's skin is scaley and snake-like, soft to the touch. They do not have overlapping plates other than those covering its somewhat beak-like snout. Decorating its head, spine, rump and the end of its tail are feathers that protrude from between its scales. The wing-like structures decorating its back seem to be used for communication purposes, fluttering and vibrating to send signals of intimidation to predators and acting as a woo-er during mating season. Overall the wings do not grow large enough to support any type of gliding or flying.
The Entu's muscular structure is lean but strong, making them capable of running speeds up to 100 mph. Their lifespan is approximatly 150 years give or take.
As of now the Entu have no major natural enemies. But I am working on some! I believe the Asylanai may have an interest in the Entu, but as I am still hammering their details out, nothing is set in stone. Any predator that does decide to make the Entu into their dinner must also be aware of the toxicity of each Entu. The brighter the Entu's skin, the more venomous it is.
There is a specific poisonous cacti that they seek and eat that reacts to the gene that determines the potency of the poison in their saliva. Because they can somewhat control this, their skin often changes between duller colors and more vibrant ones. This is a major advantage, but also a major flaw for them; due to the fact that the plant is somewhat scarce.
