Akiridion Wildlife: Geups
These are small, timid creatures that are found living in the more rocky areas on Akiridion. Their skin can change texture and color to match their environment, making it easier for them to blend in. They don’t actually have a mouth, absorbing energy from sunlight and breathing through the two large nostrils on their face. Most geups have fleshy apendages on their back that resemble local fungal growths, helping their disguises. They can actually change texture and color as well, to better blend with the local fungal life.
During the day a geups will remain entirely motionless, absorbing as much light as possible. At night they will move to a new spot, adjusting so they get the most light possible during daylight hours. Finding them is often rather difficult, which is why there are only theories as to how they breed.
