General Lophop Info

This Journal is a work in progress and is going to get updated periodically as I think of more stuff. <3 Suggestions are of course welcome!

◆Lophops are a tribal species, and each tribe usually consists of about 30 or more Lophops. Some tribes are nomadic, while others stationary.

◆Lophpops live in a matriarchal society. Each clan has a small group of elder Does that decide what’s best for the clan as a whole. Bucks act more submissive to the females, but aren’t considered the lesser sex.

◆There are two known subspecies of Lophops, named after where they reside: Mountain Lops and Plans Lops.

◆ Mountain lophops evolved hooves and are great at climbing the steep mountain terrain they inhabit. Even young lops can scale the cliffs and rocks with ease. Mountain lops have thicker fur to better withstand the cooler temperatures. Mountian tribes tend to be stationary and make their homes out of stone or carved into the mountainside.

◆ Plains Lophops are the nomadic tribes far below the mountains. They inhabit the vast flat reigons and travel place to place. Plains Lops have paws for feet and thinner fur to handle the warmer climate. Plains Lops are exceptional runners/leapers and can travel great distances very quickly.

(Both species of Lophops can breed together and it's a 50/50 chance as to what features and traits get passed down.)

◆ Lophops are Monotremes: Mammals that lay eggs. A doe can have one to four eggs per clutch. (Not all eggs survive to hatching, typically there’s a chance of one to two kits per clutch.) Egg sizes are typically around 6“ (15.24cm) in length and 3.5” (8.89cm) in diameter. Shell colors rage from off-white to brown and are usually speckled.
