Amphreptammal #4

NAME: FISHLO (Lanx Amicus)
FOOD: Fishlos eat just about anything in the locean (that's the amphreptammal pronunciation of the word "ocean"). They are extremely fast swimmers due to the multiple limbs, they can swim up to 3 miles in one minute. While fishlos are swimming, they open their extremely large mouths and just basically scoop up anything that they pass. It is similar to a whale's eating style only they're going about 8 times as fast.
HABITAT: Fishlos are one of the few species of amphreptammal that are amphrebious (amphibious). The fishlo parents lay eggs on the bottom of the locean, and after about 2 months kips hatch out. The kips develop gills and fins almost right away and swim to the surface. They then use their echolocation to locate the nearest form of land and swim to that land.
they spend the rest of they're life on that land, with the exception of egg-laying and feeding.
DESIGNATION: Sentient
REPRODUCTION: See food section
AVERAGE LIFESPAN: Fishlos live for about 9 years
AVERAGE HEIGHT: Usually 4-5 ft. tall.

Amphreptammal #3


NAME: KIP (Vegrandis Infantia)
HABITAT: All depends on the type of amphreptammal tht it is.
FOOD: Most kips live on small bits of detritus, dirt, and various flora.
DESIGNATION: All kips are born non sentient, but half of them grow up to be sentient.
AVERAGE LIFESPAN: Almost all kips live the full life of the amphreptammal that it is, but some kips aren't very lucky and get eaten by kip eaters
AVERAGE HEIGHT: Half of a centimeter.

Amphreptammal #2



NAME: GHRAMN (Somes Perussi)
HABITAT: When they aren't inside other amphreptammals, grhamn live in the little cracks on the sidewalk. Once any amphreptammal passes over them, they quickly slide into the amphreptammal's foot and slowly work their way up their leg until they are comfortable. They spend the rest of their life living inside the chosen amphreptammal. When grhamn were discovered, a new saying was put into use in the amphreptammal kingdom: "Step on a crack and a ghramn will slide into your foot and slither its way up your leg and then eat your insides."
FOOD: Ghramn feed on little bits of cement before they burrow into an amphreptammal's foot. The reason why they have such a small and unfilling meal is that they want to save room for the amphreptammal's innards. Once it starts feeding on guts, it grows bigger and it eventually bursts out of the amphreptammal's stomach and dies.
DESIGNATION: Non sentient
REPRODUCTION:
Ghramn are born with a fertilized kip (baby amphreptammal) egg already inside them (ghramn only have one gender). When a ghramn bursts out of an amphreptammal's stomach, the kip egg jumps out of it's mouth and waits to hatch in the crack of the sidewalk that it's in (ghramn only burst out when an amphreptammal is on a sidewalk, so if the amphreptammal is allergic to cement, lucky them. If the amphreptammal never goes on a sidewalk, the ghramn dies eventually and the innards are restored).
AVERAGE LIFESPAN: It depends on the amphreptammal.
AVERAGE HEIGHT: Fully grown ghramn are about a foot tall.

Amphreptammal #1


NAME: PUSTULIUS (Taedium Pustules)
HABITAT: Pustuli live wherever there is grass. They weave the grass into little pillows because grass is the only thing that they can put there heads on without it popping their boils.
FOOD: Pustuli eat dirt, but some pustuli are born different from the others (see figure 2), and these mutant pustuli eat just about anything that they come across. Because of this, pustulius parents often have to kill them before they are big enough to cause destruction. The parents who fail at killing their mutant babies get eaten, as they have about 18 seconds before the mutant goes berserk.
DESIGNATION: Sentient, but mutants are non sentient.
REPRODUCTION RATE: Female pustuli have about 5 babies a year. 2 out of 10 pustuli have at least one mutant baby in their lifetime. Mutant pustuli do not reproduce.
AVERAGE LIFESPAN: 6-7 years. Mutants live for about 4 months.
AVERAGE HEIGHT: Pustuli are about 4 inches tall, mutants are 2 feet tall.
