Quadcolor Galloper

The Quadcolor Galloper is one of the bit more basal pegasi, however it is one of the most wide spread. It is one very accurate representative of the whole clade.

The front limbs are derived from the very same ventral fins from the croacker, albeit strengthened and elongated like a horse. The croaker's tail have developed into a spring like leg, with the various rays becoming toes. Their giant pectoral wings have become hand like structures, originally for climbing moss-towers now serving unique uses. For this species these "wings"are used to dig up ground for tubers, tipped with sharp claws to help with digging up ground. Though these sharp tipped hands can be useful in combat; while mostly used between males during mating season, they can also deal serious damage to various predators. That's not all the "wings" can do, they are also used for more caring and gentle actions. Mothers use them to carry their eggs or weak young, comfortably in her palms safe from predators. Herd members use them to feel each other, to make sure they're all together. Yet also males express this tenderness, often carressing each other gently. Bonds are made by these hands as well, as when they trust each other; their fingers interlock for a few moments. Their pectoral limbs also have some alien uses, tripods are effective until their legs break. However if any leg were to break, they can start using their arms as backup legs, though this is slower their herdmates make care for them. Making sure that they do not get left behind.

Their complex social struture has alloawed them to thrive, effectively spreading all across of Gaia's great Selkie's Steppe. Like the Little Marsh Wanderer are an important keystone species, trampling down young moss-towers for grass to spread. This is what keeps the Selkie Steppe as big as it is. they also tend to trample down and stir up dirt. Recycling nutrients and letting rain reach lowers layers, along with this their massive amounts of waste they expel. Fertilizing entire miles of land for stronger healthier grass, and this healthy grass promotes health of other creatures.

While this species is the one we chose to cover about general anatomy and behaviors, different species are unique all across the board. Smaller lither gazelle like species to bulky cattle like species all fill the Gaian continent. With some about to take on rather weird forms.
