Species: Kiylo
Nickname: Crystallum Custos (Crystal Guardains)
Geneus: Cabbitus
Family: Felporidae

Height: normally the size of a Beagal
Weight:100lb-120lb

Looks: Kiylo's resemble cats and rabbits. They have big ears that are very good at hearing long distances for unwelcome visitors or for hunting prey.Short to medium length fur, except for the manes they have, which is longer. This protects them in fights somewhat and also protects them against the cold of the mountains. Their front legs are thicker and powerful for fighting with and digging through the mountainous terrain they live in. Their hind legs are slimmer but strong for getting away fast. They resemble rabbits hind legs. They have long sharp claws for fighting, digging and climbing. They are covered in Crystals, normally 2 on their front legs, 1-3 on their ears, 3 small round crystals under each eye. One larger circular crystal in the middle of their foreheads, and normally 3 crystals along their long tails. More crystal can be seen on them, but it's uncommon. They have long lion like tails with big tuffs of fur at the end. All the crystals, claws, and tail glow brightly. Also normally the crystals are all the same type and colour per kiylo, but there are the rare occasions where they have multiple colours.


Diet: Kiylo's are omnivores, they eat bugs, vegetation, and small prey that they find in the mountains.

Habitat: Kiylo's live deep in the mountains in crystal caves. These caves consist of thousands upon thousands of crystals, because the caves stretch out far beneath the mountains. The caves are made up of different caves all connected by tunnels. Each cave normally holds a different type of crystal for the different groups to nest in. The giant cave dwelling that connects all the other caves together normally will hold the biggest crystals and the most assortment of colours. This is where the kiylo's are normally during the day to socialize, groom each other, bring in food and meet with the higher ranking kiylo's. This is also the area for challenging the leaders for their spot in the colony.

Reproductive Cycle: Kiylo's mature at around 2 years old. They will be pregnant for about a month before they lay 2-3 eggs. The eggs hatch usually within 3 weeks.

Ranking:
-Alpha: Male & Female
-Beta: Alpha Female Sisters
-Sub: Rest of the colony.
-Rouges: out casts


Social Behavior: Kiylo's are very social creatures. They tend to always have a buddy with them for company. They are energetic, with loads of energy to burn. They do take pride in the crystals they watch over. They are a bit greedy and tend to not want to share their crystals. This can sometimes cause fights among each other. But the alpha will tend to end the fight rather quickly.
