how diverse is the climate/weather on Melo, does that affects Thylaraptors?
Melo's climate is pretty diverse, with similar biomes that can be found on Earth. However, there are a few differences.
Namely, the Tropical Region is much wider than on Earth, thanks to the milder axial tilt. Thus, the Climatic zones look like this;
Tropical: 0-40° North/South
Subtropical: 40-50° North/South
Temperate: 50-70° North/South
Polar: 70-90° North/South
Tropical rainforests and grasslands dominant the Tropical and Subtropical zones, with a lot of deserts in the interior areas. The Temperate zones are mostly broadleaf woodlands and coniferous forests, with a few Temperate grasslands as well. Closer to the polar zones, there are taiga and tundra, then true Polar climates especially close to the poles. The only landmasses that are truly close to the Polar zone are the Northern tip of Revo, as well as the "Polar Islands" close to this tip.
In regards to weather, it's pretty similar to Earth, the only "true" difference is slightly weaker hurricanes and a wider "storm belt," both thanks to Melo's gentle axial tilt and Passera's cooler temperatures. Likewise, as Melo travels along it's orbit, the weather does get MUCH wamer (or colder) depending on how close the Aphelion/ Perihelion is, thanks to both the mildly eccentric orbit and orbital inclination. This affects weather quite a bit, resulting in snow for both Temperate and occasionally Subtropical areas AND the Rainy Season for Tropical.
In regards to Thylaraptors, they are pretty much affected by this! As they adapted to the places they settled, they developed traits that are better for their respective climates. This resulted in the several basic ethnicities that I will introduce soon. Likewise, it also affects their culture and society.
