Species Name: Galacio
Season: Winter
Creature Type: Dog

About Galacio Eggs:

Galacio eggs are covered in icicle-like spikes which help protect them against predators. In captivity, these eggs must not reach temperatures above freezing or else they will melt into a disgusting puddle of goo. In the wild, Galacio eggs only hatch during the coldest winter months, which are the ideal conditions for the young creatures to grow.


About The Galacio Creature:

Galacio are dog-like creatures that are covered in a protective layer of icicles. Owning one isn't much different than owning another canine-like creature. However, if it gets too hot, the Galacio might begin to melt. Owners in warmer climates have been known to create refrigerated rooms to house their beloved pets, which can make them very expensive to own. They are a popular status symbol for the wealthier denizens of Ark. The richest are known to keep packs of six or more, all to be housed in refrigerated buildings for most of the year. Some advocates for creature welfare have claimed it is inhumane to keep domestic Galacio in these conditions. They argue that the creatures should only be adopted by those who live in colder climates all year round so that they don't have to be confined most of their lives.
