The process by which organisms convert food into energy.

Living things use oxygen to respire (aerobic) and certain organisms can respire without oxygen (anaerobic). Anaerobic respiration does not make as much energy as aerobic and tends to create toxic, foul-smelling substances (lactic acid for animals/bacteria, alcohol for yeast).

This creature is endangered.

Kaihon eggs are remarkable in that they have a fuzzy, leafy texture to them. It feels like you're touching a fern leaf!

About the Kaihon Creature

Kaihons are, historically, one of the most persecuted species in Ark. Thousands of years ago, the superstitious beliefs that once governed Ark (stronger than they do today) lead humans to participate in Kaihon Wing Burnings. Humanity believed that stripping a Kaihon of its wings was a way of balancing the power of Mother Nature with humanity. It was humanity's way of exerting itself against Mother Nature.

As a result, Kaihons have a natural aversion to humans and do not enjoy socializing or being close to humans. However, they are very friendly with their own kind and frequently help each other. Kaihons are very compassionate creatures.

Today, Kaihons are one of the most protected species in Ark. Harming a Kaihon, even unintentionally, can be punishable by 10 years in prison.
