Addtional Information
This long-legged memeber of the Mosquelius genus is a carnivore, unlike its bretheren the Mosquel and the Calopter. It feeds on smaller forest animals, but if pushed (i.e. starving) it could attack creatures twice its size. When first observed, scientists questioned the Gulleps colouring scheme as it makes for poor forest camoflouge. Scientists then observed that Gulleps became very anxious and nervous around water. From this, scientists hypothesized that the Gulleps used to live near the water, however something must have happened to drive them away from water, into the forest.
