The Chimearoc is a flying carnivore hunter native to Bellerophon.
Physiology & Ecology[edit]
It is part of the Daghadasi life chain on Bellerophon (Solomani Rim 1519).
Life Cycle & Reproduction[edit]
No information yet available.
Diet & Trophics[edit]
They are heterotrophic carnivores, and display hunting behavior.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
A notable environment for life on Bellerophon is the Daghadasi's back. A number of plants descended from free-floating species have taken root in the outer dermal areas, and several species of flying creatures, evolved from aquatic ancestors, nest there. Most notable is the fierce Chimearoc, which has a 4-meter wingspan, snake-like neck, crocodilian snout, and needle sharp teeth; it is well adapted for skimming along the surface to strike at small sea creatures just under the surface.
The Chimearocs are not offered a free ride:
- They are pressed into service as genetic messengers. Adababasi periodically secrete a protein-rich liquid in small "caves" on their backs. Chimearocs gather this liquid to feed their young; while they feed, Daghadasi reproductive cells attach themselves to the Chimearocs' legs, seeking transport to other Daghadasi. Because the caves secrete small amounts of liquid at different times, the Chimearocs must keep moving around the herd, thus insuring the transfer of reproductive cells.
Travellers' Aid Society Advisory[edit]
Their mutalistic relationship is important for the maintenance of a commercially significant species.
