Creature Suggestion - The Charmole

iris1929578 • 14 May 2017 at 5:01 PM

By the way, this is my first creature suggestion. Writing this stuff comes easy to me. You got a bit of reading to do.

Egg Temperature

The Charmole egg has to be at least 200 degrees fahrenheit. If it is any cooler than that, it dies. The shell stores heat, though, to last for five minutes. It is very hard for heat to travel in the egg. The shell is very thick. It takes heat at least a minute to travel through the egg. To prevent it from dying this way, the mother starts a permanent fire on top of it. It does this by sinking its claws in and breathing fire on it. The egg can get too hot. If the temperature is over 500 degrees fahrenheit, it dies.

Egg Size

Because an egg's shell is very thick, the egg is usually the size of a bush. If the egg is too small, the creature inside suffocates. If it is too small, the father pushes it into a river, pond, lake, or ocean. The water drowns the creature inside. It is preferably pushed into the ocean because the salt makes it unconscious and numb. There are water tubes inside the tube so small that only water and air could get in.

Egg Food

The creature does not need food. It eats off of the shell. When a Charmole eats out of its shell, it is usually mature enough to hatch. Premature hatchlings usually get very sick and cold and die. They do need water, however, to keep it from overheating. An egg is dunked for five seconds every 30 minutes in a pond or lake near their den.

Egg Care

When it's mother and father are both out doing something, the brothers and sisters take over. The Charmole egg is always under good care. If an egg is left alone, a Pinkunk drowns it. Also, if an egg hatches by itself, it gets confused. They wander outside and Pinkunks kill it.

Child

As a Charmole hatches, it makes spark sounds. This warns the family that the egg is hatching. Then they show the Charmoles around the house. They have really good memory, and they remember everything they see. They do expose themselves more to Pinkunks, though, as they do not have that thick shell. But the children stay closer to the adults, as they are very powerful.

Teen

As Charmoles grow, they get more carefree, independent, and powerful. The adults teach them how to fight. They also grow bigger feet, and fire is on them. Their most powerful move is clawing their opponents. They also become kind of immune to fire. Fire attacks don't work as much, but water attacks are way stronger. If the fire goes out on their feet, they die. They have to be at least 200 degrees fahrenheit and they can be as hot as they like. They can also now control their body temperature. Still, Pinkunks can kill them.

Adult

They leave their family and go out to find a mate when they grow into adults. When it is time to become adults, they go through a test. They capture a Pinkunk to have for breakfast, and they have to fight a bear on their own. Due to this, some of them die. The Charmoles that survive become adults. The males get clawed above their eyes. The females get clawed above their nose.

Family

A Charmole's family is very big. Every family has at least 50 Charmoles living in their home. All Charmoles know their family by heart and knows all their smells. All families have different patterns on their fur. It is very hard to tell them apart.

Food

Charmoles mostly eat anything that is smaller than them and lives underground. They only eat their meat cooked. They also gather berries by storing them in their mouth. Only the most talented Charmoles can gather berries. They also only eat their berries cooked. Rarely, they go outside and kill animals to eat.

Predators

Their predator is the Pinkunk. They are arch enemies, and often times steal each other's food. The SAR has reasearched and researched, and found that in history, hundreds of years ago, they had a big battle. They have hated each other ever since.

Home

A Charmole's home usually has over 100 chambers. The lowest one, closest to the core, is the place where the eggs are. It might even go over 100 feet deep! 15-25 chambers are used to store food. Most Charmoles share sleeping chambers, so only 15-20 are used. The egg chambers range from 20-30. The remaining chambers are left empty just in case.

This will get edited. Yes, I'm not done yet! There is more!
