This will serve as a record of information on the species, "gorgonpup" currently (closed) as well as bits of information on other things on the planet (currently nameless)
(Subject to change, may become an info page for whole planet one day)
[Basic info]
There are two subspecies of gorgonpup, forest, and mountain, the males in both tend to be slightly smaller. Gorgonpup and all other life on this planet mutate wildly, as they are exposed to more solar radiation than most planets. The sun that it happens to orbit is a pulsar with a tilted rotation, so once a year, complex life needs to retreat underground and anything on the surface gets blasted by concentrated radiation from the suns poles and dies off, many plants have evolved ways to either have their seeds survive, or have evolved a type of protection against it. This time only lasts for 3-5 days.
[Mountain]
Mountain gotgonpups are large, fluffy, and strong, with long tails and ears. They are excellent hunters, and make homes they live in near designated caves for when the suns rays pass over the planet. They live in large tribes, and have a complex, picture based written language. The mountains they live on are more like massive plateaus, separated by deep canyons that hold the forests, with a few spiky mountains that jut up randomly. Mountain gorgonpups also craft tools, and often do body modification, with tattoos, piercings, and carvings on horns or teeth, being the most common.
[Forest]
Forest gorgonpups are small, agile and have short tails and ears. Along with hunting, forest gorgonpup will often scavenge, they are not the top predators in the forest and are often hunted by a much larger one that the mountain gorgonpups don't deal with. Forest gorgonpups don't make permanent homes, instead, they sleep whenever they can wherever they find a safe spot to do so, and only carry what they need. Forest gorgonpups,
live in small family groups, and have a spoken language, but not a written one. The forests the live in are dense, and filled with all kinds of foliage, mainly being large trees wich have spiraling roots that tangle boulders, they die out each year but the seed pods are nearly boulders themselves, and the trees grow quickly. The trees canopies spread wide and block out most light, the forest is dark, and full of much mystery.
[Inspiration]
It started as a doodle of an imagination of my fave dino, gorgonopsid, with fluffy fur, then in highschool i had a speculative zoology project and went a bit ham. I brought back and redesigned 3 other creatures I had as well as the gorgonpup, and created a planet with moons and a crazy star. Im a big nerd, paleontology, zoology, space, etc.. So I kept building the planet for fun, and now im here. I also started animating and am doing a huge animation that will show allot more of the planet, mainly through tails written in a mountain gorgonpup book, but it will show off more of the species I have made for this planet, including the dessert.
Let me know if you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer!
