Creature:Yovion

Yovions are bipeds which evolved on the planet Yovaa, their average height and weight resemble that of a male human. Their physical capacities such as speed or strength are lower on the other hand, which made them quite vulnerable to predators in their creature phase. To compensate this weakness they never lived in groups smaller than 20. They also developed complex social organization to be able to adapt to as many dangers as possible. One aspect of their kind was that the position of pack leader was not fixed to one individual, it would change back and forth between individuals depending on which one was considered the most adapted to the situation. For example, if one member was good at spotting predators and avoiding them, he would be leader in a dangerous territory, before letting another lead in the numbers of predators diminish. And so it was common for Yovion groups to have 5 or 6 leaders that swapped with each other depending on the season, the environment, the possibilities of mating, etc. This habit of easily changing from one leader to another carried on throughout their entire evolution. From tribal to civilisation stage, it was quite rare to find a totalitarian regime among the Yvions, most lived in a democracy or an oligarchy. In space stage, the Yovion Empire is a united democracy.
