Planet:New Guseidan

New Guseidan (gush-eye-DEN) is a planet that has become a popular place for many different scientific peoples to explore and marvel at. It is within the Kranszs' district, who are currently the ruling empire of the star system.

Founding
The planet was discovered by Zerek Perrymippith IX of the Xandik Empire. While on a space expedition, Perrymippith and co. found the primitive Kransz, who were mere tribes at the moment, and found the only other T3 planet besides Kalrakissus, the Kransz's homeworld. The party of scientist decided to name the "fabulous biologically healthy planetary orb" New Guseidan in honor of the 22nd century discovery of Guseidan, an ecological "dream," as evolutionists named it.

Current State
Today, diplomatic disputes are allowing many different (greedy, sometimes) nations to join in with the gamble. High-ranking government officials are constantly arguing about who should earn the right to "own" New Guseidan, mainly working with or against one of two empires: The Xandik Embassy of Science (the Xandik Federation), who found New Guseidan and conducted the first tests and research on the fauna and flora, or the Kransz Praetorian Council (the Kransz Empire), who live in the star system that presents New Guseidan. The two races are the most thoroughly involved, and the leaders are still signing papers, including resumes, bills, checks, forms, and books. As of now, the Kransz are currently in the lead with many votes and protests related to siding with them, and the fact that they deserve what they were "born with" and that they have the rights to take absolute control of what is in their system has discouraged many who were originally against the idea.

Spikerafacelian
The spikerafacelian is a rare member of the Facelius family tree. Native to New Guseidan only, this predator happens to be one of the few Facelians that has managed to hunt its prey successfully solitary. The spikerafacelian hunts grammanasus, filterbirds, berpitudes, berpiteks, berpiskenz, berpikneus, and berpipred, and practically every other animal on the planet. Due to being confined to New Guseidan (because Trading of Marked: Endangered Species is illegal), the spikerafacelian does not hunt many other creatures. It is also an excellent ambush pred. On New Guseidan, the spikerafacelian is the utmost top predator, with supremacy over all the ecosystems, and it is noted that there is only twenty (or so) on each and every continent/region. While the carnivore might be presented the leadership above other animals, smaller hunters like berpipreds and munkeelions could prove to be in a more successful path of evolution despite how professional Facelians are at advancing in physical technology. Also, this creature has extremely flexible forelimbs. Length : 6-8 ft. Height : 4 ft.    Archetype : Carnivore Weight : 150 kg. (most)

Grammanasus
The grammanasus is a peaceful animal with a unique array of furry spikes leading down its back. The large herbivore, usually growing to 7/7.5 feet (tall) at the most, has a large amount of body fat to protect it during the winter while other mammaloids, avians, and other creatures starve. Its adaptability (along with the others') creates a high chance for it to remain very common on New Guseidan. The long legs the creature uses allow it to take large strides, which gives a useful getaway without losing much energy. Its feeding habit has had it develop a thick underbelly, while despite being soft on the outside possesses tough muscles on the inside. Large claws are usually used for quietly gathering leaves from tall trees, with the occasional defensive need. They are also very intelligent, matching that of the spikerafacelian. Height : 7.5+ ft.    Archetype : Herbivore Weight : 198 kg. (most)

Filterbird
The filterbird is a unique and newly found species that was given its name for a huge purpose. The filterbird, despite feeding on fruits and vegetables, also has a special digestive system that automatically destroys bacteria and even viruses, making scientists scramble to get to New Guseidan as quickly as possible. The filterbird also has a nasal function that, when it breathes in oxygen, cleanses the air when it comes in, but it's lungs have a special chamber that lets the oxygen come back out. So instead of this creature breathing in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide, it breathes in oxygen and breaths it out, allowing the air to stay much fresher than other planets, even including Earth. Filterbirds, even though they have many feathers, are practically flightless except for their gliding skills. This odd avian uses its speed more when it attempts escape from predators, because it lacks camouflage and isn't as intelligent as other animals, like the berpiskenz or spikerafacelian, but these harmonious animals are relatively peaceful. Length : 4-5.5 ft. Height : 3-4 ft.    Archetype : Herbivore Weight : 115 lbs. (most)

Berpitude
The berpitude is a small, curious omnivore with a plump body. Mainly, the berpitude is caught stealing eggs from filterbird nests, but it is relatively harmless otherwise. The mammaloid achieves its thieving quality from watching its relatives, the berpiteks and berpiskenz, and lacks the proper physical body equipment to do it correctly or efficiently (or both). But by eating vegetation, this creature is very adaptable, plus it usually scavenges fruits and leaves dropped by larger herbivores when they feast. During the spring, the small spokes on their back represent their "manliness" and are used in mating. Depending on how healthy a berpitude male is, the spokes will be bigger and more intricate, sometimes even taking on color. Females have these, but they do not grow. Length : 1-3 ft. Height : 1-2 ft.    Archetype : Omnivore Weight : 50-62 lbs. (most)

Berpiteks
The berpiteks is the larger relative of the berpitude, having an advanced brain, better muscle composition, and stronger limbs. The berpiteks serves as another thieving animal, only its is more successful than the smaller animal due to having advanced traits. These basic mammaloids have the most keen sense of smell of all the creatures of New Guseidan, and are excellent at escaping attacks. They frequently encounter turf wars with the berpitudes, and the latter wins most battles. Like the berpitude, the berpiteks usually mates with the spokes on their backs, but they also take it in a completely different direction as well. Using their changes in strength, the berpiteks will actually physically battle one another for the control of nearly every female in the region. Because of the reward, the wars are commonly very violent and intense, with many injured males walking away from the brawls. Length : 2-4 ft. Height : 1-4 ft.    Archetype : Omnivore Weight : 77-90 lbs. (most)

Berpiskenz
The berpiskenz is the most intelligent of its family and is a clever egg robber. This creature is rather inimitable compared to its other family members, not only because of its more reliable anatomy, but also how it steals eggs. The creature will actually change its color and match any surroundings, thus easily being able to steal little offspring and eggs. But this strategy nearly never works on the spikerafacelian children because of their obviously superior intelligence and sense of smell. The berpiskenz never fight one another unless it is for territorial means, but they will aggressively grind their dorsal tubes against one another during the mating season. The berpiskenz are also one of the two of the small family to actually eat the latter, along with the berpipred. They have a scorpion like weapon as a dangerous appendage attached to their tail, and use it to stab and slice at their prey. With such a dominant position, they are still feared by the other members of their "tree." Length : 4-5.2 ft. Height : 5 ft.     Archetype : Omnivore Weight : 98 lbs. (most)

Berpipred
The aggressive berpipred is one of the two (along with the berpiskenz) "berp" creatures that hunts relatives. Usually preying upon the occasional filterbird, berpitudes, berpiteks, and berpiskenz, the berpipred is completely capable of being part of the predatory system. It is an ambush carnivore, waiting for other creatures to pass the bush, tree or rock it might be hiding behind, then pouncing on the item with extremely powerful hind limbs, and then crushing its neck with its jaw. The bite of a berpipred is stronger than that of a lions, being 1350 to 1605 lbs. per square inch. However, the larger spikerafacelian has a bite strength of 1800 lbs. per square inch, outnumbering the berpipred 3 to 1. The aggressive munkeylion also causes hardships for the berpipred, acting as a neighborhood bully and having a higher advantage due to its equal bite strength and better agility, as well as strength in general. Length : 2-4 ft. Height : 3-4 ft.    Archetype : Carnivore Weight : 98 lbs. (most)
