[edit] Ylfs

This group of creatures live in the Ebarkhara cave, the home planet of the Arackrabees.

The Ylfs are very similar creatures to the flies, beetles and cockroaches, whose main characteristics are the presence of multiple eyes and three pairs of legs. All the Ylfs descend of the Mupsih, a insect similar to the water flea, in accordance with the evolutive way below.

[edit] Mupsih

Mupsih

Size: Small
Environment: Air / Water
Locomotion: Flying / Walking
Diet: Omnivorous

The Mupsihs are small insects capable to walk on the water. Its hard wing doesn't allow fly over long distances, making them remain on the water for much time. They possess tongue long and with a globular extremity, that it's submerged during the hunting, that occurs of pacific form, therefore it waits that prey appears. Through it they capture algae and small aquatic animals, its main foods. The tip of the tongue possess a material of smells attractive and that it makes with that the prey remains adhered until the Mupsih eats them. Its great eyes give a good vision of the surface of the water, but aren't capable to perceive the movements that occur under of the water or over them, becoming them vulnerable the attacks of predators.

[edit] Ylfnix

Ylfnix

Ancestor: Mupsih
Size: Small
Environment: Air
Locomotion: Flying
Diet: Scavenger

Its long back legs allow them to make long jumps when they are in the ground, allowing the escape in the case of attacks. Its light wing gives to it great agility and speed. The protection against attacks also is strengthened by the thorns in its coasts, that possess a weak paralising poison, that leaves the aggressor paralized for enough time so that it can run away. Its eyes are capable to perceive a distinct specter of colors, beyond the visible one for the human beings, and be situated in the extremity of its antennas, giving to them the great mobility and a privileged vision of the environment. Its main food is the found dead animals in the caves. These flies pierce the corpse with its nose precise and all suck the nutritional content of which need. Later, they deposit its eggs in the interior of the corpse so that its younglings have food when to be born.

[edit] Ebass

Ebass

Ancestor: Mupsih
Size: Big
Environment: Ground
Locomotion: Walking / Flying
Diet: Carnivore

These descendants of the Mupsih had suffered a great adaptation so that they could remain in the ground and hunt other creatures, reaching a very superior size to the one of its next relatives. Its main tactics is the camouflage: they remain immovable between the rocky formations of the caves for long periods, until some another creature if approaches and stops on its mouth. It waits some seconds so that prey doesn't perceive that it isn't a rock and it soon closes the mouth, capturing its food. Most of the aerial species is its food, with exception of the Ylfnixes, that are sufficiently quick and easily they escape. This strategy of hunting is very efficient, a time that in the dark caves of Ebarkhara is difficult to distinguish between what it's alive and what is a rock. If at some moment they perceive that they can be seen, quickly fly for another place.
