Flapucha

Lore

Although no one knows how these creatures came to be, many speculate that they are older than the forests they live in and were a creation of a goddess for company. Wanting to let her creation live free, she made this large forest for them with a bounty of food for just two. Soon these two grew affectionate and began populating the forest, much to the happiness of the goddess.

These creatures are called Flapucha and they live high in the trees that the goddess created. The size of the trees is much larger than other forests and can be compared to Red Wood Forests. Due to the height of the trees, it was centuries before their discovery, and even now it's hard to find them. If spotted, however, Flapuchas are as tall as horses but come in many lengths.

Although it has never been found, there are stories that say there is a capital miles above the canopy where a queen and her subjects reside happily.

With the discovery of the adorable species, other creatures wanted their own Flapucha despite the size. Since wild Flapuchas are very protective of their young and families, domesticating them requires the death of their parents to attain a baby. Unfortunately, not many babies survive without their parents or their parents' nutrition. Due to the lack of nutrition, if they survived, they never grew to their expected size.

Their smaller size didn't stop their domestication, if anything, it enhanced the desire. The domesticated Flapucha are as small as rodents and can grow as long as a ferret. Once of age, they can breed but their kin will never grow to the size of their ancestors. Flapuchas have a wide variety of personalities from mischievous to fashionistas but are a joy to have as a pet.

Mating

This species reproduces sexually, meaning a male and female are required. For same-sex couples, adoption or insemination is possible. Once the kit is born, both genders can care for the young as each has a pouch and milk for the child.

Flapucha typically only gives birth to one kit at a time as they don’t have enough milk for two. Twins are very rare and Triplets nearly impossible. In the super rare case, a triplet is born, there must be two sources of nutrition in order for them to survive.

To attract a mate, one shows off their brightly lit bulbs and flaps. If the bulbs are bright and flaps well taken care of, the mate will likely choose them as bulbs and flaps indicate their health to provide nutrients for the young.

Lifespan

Kit

Once born, the kit lives in the pouch on its parent's stomach. From inside the pouch, they stay comfy and warm while nursing on the milk provided. Within a month they have outgrown the pouch and begin learning how to walk and use their sight.

Toddler

A week after beginning to leave the pouch, their ears open, they can smell, and their bulbs emit a soft glow. Toddlers stay in the tree and practice their motor skills. Parents bring the child food and they finally get a taste other than milk. At times the child goes along with the parent by holding onto their tummy.

Child

Motor skills for walking and climbing have greatly improved so within a month or two they begin exploring outside. Parents begin teaching them how to look for food and what bugs or plants could make them feel ill thus avoiding it. They learn how to use their claws to climb trees to get to yummier leaves and find bugs to eat.

Teen

While 2 years pass, the Flapucha is more than capable of scavenging for food for itself and can glide to multiple trees. At this age, they are learning how to get along with all ages and gender of Flapuchas. Depending on their maturity, they will decide to leave home or stay. At times they are forced to leave at about this age as the home can be too crowded.

Young Adult

At the age of 3, Flapuchas are now able to mate with others. They likely either live where they were born or found a new home. Some of them may have found and decided to live in the abundant and slightly crowded capital. Males typically have brighter glowing bulbs as the main way to mate is male with female.

Adult

Not much change between young adults to adults other than what other Flapuchas think of them. At the age of 10, they are seen to be more mentally mature and capable of raising children. They can mate as young adults but it's a lot more common in this stage. For same-sex couples, they will go to the capital to adopt or for artificial insemination.

Elder

Flapuchas can grow to be very old depending on whether their environment provides plenty of nutrition. They are considered elders at 70 and have a huge difficulty living past 100. They slow down and begin staying in the tree, mostly depending on family members for nutrition

Appearance

Flapuchas have two different sizes due to domestication. Both sizes have all the traits as the other, only different lengths depending on age.

Undomesticated

Height:

6 feet tall to 8 feet

Lengths:

Ages 2-20 are 4 feet to 6 feet

Ages 30-40 are 7 feet to 9 feet

Ages +50 are 10 feet to 15 feet

Domesticated

Height:

4 inches to 5 inches

Lengths:

Ages 1-5 are 3 inches to 5 inches

Ages 10-20 are 6 inches to 8 inches

Ages +30 are 9 inches to 13 inches

Both Key Traits

• Retractable Claws: Each toe has a retractable claw that they use to hold down and grab insects. They are mostly used to climb trees.

• Paws: Each paw has four toes with toe pads.

• Chest Plate: Raised chest plate that helps protect their heart and lungs.

• Ears: Their backward-facing ears are great at picking up sounds from behind them. The floof in their ear greatly insulates them helping with hearing and warmth.

• Bulbs: Are also known as antennas that have floof at the head to keep them warm. They have multiple shapes and the bulbs at the end glow. The glowing light from the bulbs are only seen by other Flapuchas and helps them see at night.

• Plates: Armor along the back that resembles armadillo armor. It protects the back and neck. Flapuchas can also curl up in a ball to protect their soft tummy with the help of the plates.

• Patagium: This is also known as the 'wings' or 'flaps'. These are used for gliding or 'flying'. They are quite thin but velvety soft.

Tail: Their tails stabilize their walking and gliding. The fluffy tail keeps them nice and warm when wrapped around them.
