Creature:Mirristola

=About the Mirristola=

Evolutionary history
The Mirristola hail from the planet Mirristole, a fertile world with vast amounts of greenery. By pure chance, on Mirristole lived a highly nutritious species of fruit, a fruit that only the Mirristola could eat. The high quantities of proteins, minerals, vitamins and carbohydrates in the fruit provided the Mirristola sufficient sustenance to allow them to evolve complex brains, a feat that otherwise would only have been possible have they fed partially or fully on meat items. Thus, the Mirristola are amongst the few species of sapient herbivores known in the Psyrenhead Galaxy, amongst a field full of carnivores and omnivores.

The fauna of Mirristole itself is fairly harmless, with very few natural hazards bar the occasional monsoon, and abundant flora allowed many herbivorous species thrive. There are indeed a sizeable number of predatory species on the planet, but very few were able to feast on the highly intelligent Mirristola, who not only could outrun them, but even charm them into not attacking. The very planetary environment was conducive to the Mirristola's outgoing disposition, allowing them to develop into a peaceful race. The Mirristola themselves lived in groups, mainly in hillsides, burrowing underground short distances and establishing nests to sleep in and protect their young. The reason for the development of primitive leathery wings attached to their shoulders is unknown, but they have been shown to help them get up steep hills, but otherwise they're fairly inconsequential. Mirristola also evolved excellent hearing, useful for listening out for the now extinct epics that occupied certain parts of the planet.

Other biological information
The Mirristola are furry (a sort of blue/grey colour) and warm blooded. The females give birth to litters of up to eight "kits", which are then nursed by their mother for a period of eight months until they can tackle solid food. Mirristola teeth are continually growing, necessitating constant gnawing at hard food items to keep their incisors down.
