Chemuei

'Nother NEW species - called it a "Chemuei" ("kem-oo-ay"). :) This one is a biped marsupial native to Ondra - looks sort of like a cross between a kangaroo (although more "upright", if that makes sense) and a seahorse. Eats fruit, fish, anything either soft or possible to swallow whole (as it only has very tiny teeth). Both females AND males have a brood pouch - they share parenting duties and each nurse one or two young - and the young ride on the parent's back once out of the pouch but still little. They form strong pair bonds and loose "flocks" in the winter, and are nomadic like a lot of birds. They're brightly coloured (males tend to be greenish with spots of brighter colours, females a drabber green but with a few bright spots), but they're highly toxic and their skin is armoured so there's no need to be disguised. Males grow fleshy "display spines" in the mating season (although 90% invariably pair up with their partner from last year), which wither and drop back off once they're nursing.

It am cute. :) (I would say "be interested to see other people's interpretations before I get my own version uploaded" but myeh, that's never going to happen. :P)
