Creature:Llurebleg

"Take a look at the past. Opression, impotency, misery. Yet you already see where we are now. How, ladies and gentlemen, can such a puny being like us become a powerful civilization before anything else on this planet of inequality?"

- Daraunte III

The Llurebleg are a sapient species native to the planet Xuz Fareh. Their empire emerged quite recently, so their technology isn't very advanced yet. The Llurebleg are curious about their past. They want to know about the strange structures found on their home planet, what are they used for, and overall who built them.

History
The Llurebleg appeared and evolved in the planet Xuz Fareh. They didn't develop their civilization until quite recently. Currently, under the leadership of Daraunte III, the Llurebleg are developing their spaceship technologies in order to explore the moon of their planet which they relate to an unknown civilization: Gorb Olohya.

Description
The Llurebleg are quite small creatures, ranging from 1 to 1.5 meters (~3-5 feet) in height. Their weight is between 20-30 kilograms (~24-66 pounds). The Llurebleg have an anthropomorphic shape. Their mouth is large and similar to that of a reptile. They have a strange horn-like ornament on their head, which is usually hidden by their hats. The Llurebleg have a set of spikes on the top of their shoulders, which are also hidden when they wear clothes, too. They have mole-like hands and big, theropod-like feet. There is no notable sexual dimorphism in the Llurebleg species, but females are usually taller than males.

Ecology
As omnivorous creatures, the primitive Llurebleg fed on both vegetables and animals. Since they didn't have many means of defending themselves against large herbivores, like Grinklers and Wistompt, it's possible that they ate insects and other small animals in order to complete their omnivorous diet. Before becoming civilized, the Llurebleg were at the bottom of the food chain in their planet, only standing up to the smallest animals and non-animal life like plants and fungi. Some of the main predators of the Llurebleg included the Wildcarnagers, the Raptorels and the Jawwhorls. The mole-like hands and the large amount of holes found in the ground of Xuz Fareh suggest the Llurebleg used to live in underground burrows, possibily to hide from aforementioned predators. As a civilization, the Llurebleg have lost most of their natural predators due to them living in defended cities now; however, flying predators like the Raptorels or large, strong predators like the Fontis can often surpass the defenses and feed on the citizens. Many of their activities, such as their use of Wistompt as cattle and their commercial routes crossing the territory of aggressive animals like the Stroths, have impacted their environment notably, but it didn't get as far as causing major problems (eg.: the extinction of a species) yet.

Taxonomy
The Llurebleg have been taxonomically classified as pelycosaurians of the Eothyrididae family.

Primary sector
The Llurebleg's agriculture isn't very developed, even in the recent times when they are already designing spaceships. Their agriculture is specially designed for fruit trees. As for their cattle raising, Llurebleg have managed to tame the Wistompt species, due to the large amounts and variety of resources obtainable from them, and their peculiarly docile behavior towards them. Their meat is a major food source, their skin can be used for making clothes, and their tusk-like horns can be used for making tools and weapons. However, the Wistompt would sometimes fly away, so the Llurebleg had to adapt their husbandry to them. They keep the animals in large domes built with hard metals, so that they cannot escape, with small holes in the ceiling that allow them to breathe. It is also known that the Llurebleg initially intended to tame Sabales too, but due to their dangerous nature and the lack of useful resources obtainable from them, the idea was scrapped.

Secondary sector
The Llurebleg industry is quite developed, but has a long way to go before being completely developed. Their main energy fuel is coal, which is limited in the planet and releases polluting gases to the atmosphere when used. The Llurebleg have designed their factories so these gases (mainly carbon dioxide) are directed to underground pits instead of the exterior, and are contained there to recycle it later (eg.: use it as manure, as fire retardant, as a refrigerant, etc...); this method, however, isn't fully improved and still presents some flaws, such as the lack of a way for filtering and separating said gases, and can turn the deposits in dangerous places due to the inhalation of said gases, thus making the re-obtainance of the gases for recycling very risky. As a response to these problems, the Llurebleg are currently researching on the transformation of renewable sources, such as wind or the light emitted by their star.

Third sector
A large amount of the Llurebleg population works in the third sector of economy; however, this doesn't represent the majority of the population, as much more people is bound to the primary sector. Most of the Llurebleg working on the third sector are dedicated to trade with other cities. Many others are working on either health care or education.

Social behavior
The Llurebleg are a peaceful and calm civilization. They are gentle and rarely fight each other for non-rational reasons. The Llurebleg are curious, and a quite large amount of their financial capital is destined to improving technologies in order to explore the galaxy. The Llurebleg don't seem to discriminate each other for sex, race or origin conditions, but there is a slight inequality between rich and poor families.

Language
The Llurebleg's main language is the Banarian Tongue.

Government and politics
The Llurebleg have a democratic and polyarchic government, where the citizens choose their leaders. Every 7 years respect the corresponding planet, each city elects its own representative and votes for the one that will rule the planet, known as juter (meaning great boss in Banarian). The current juter of Xuz Fareh is Daraunte III. The juter of a planet doesn't have absolute power, but its the one whose approval is necessary to implement the most important laws and projects suggested by the representatives of the different cities, other powers or the juter himself/herself. When an important decision must be taken, the representatives of each city in the planet will meet at the capital (Cyner in the case of Xuz Fareh), which also serves as the juter's residence. There, the representatives will debate about the project and finally take a decision, which must then be approved by the juter. If there isn't a consensus between the representatives, the juter will be the one to choose one of the ideas proposed, without being capable of suggesting and approving it's own at the moment.

Religion
The Llurebleg don't seem to have a religion, despite their desire to know about their origins. According to the juter Daraunte III, "the truth can only be achieved through solid fact, and speculation will only lead to mistakes and deception".

Planetary vehicles
There are two notable types of vehicles designed by the Llurebleg: The Llurebleg haven't designed any aquatic vehicles yet, since most of Xuz Fareh's water is located underground.
 * The Nunt-10s, large land vehicles designed for transporting goods and resources. They posess large storages and only three seats for people.
 * The 6-T5s, air vehicles specialized in the transport of people. They are fast and have many seats for people.

Space travel
The Llurebleg started the development of their space technologies after Daraunte III's election and his approval for Project Fidne. Scientists are currently researching for the making of the first Llurebleg-made spaceship: the GT-92.

Weaponry
The Llurebleg don't have very advanced Weaponry capable of significantly hurting other living beings, due to their peaceful nature. Their cities are defended by guards, but their weapons are very rudimentary and hardly cause any damage against spaceships, vehicles and armored beings (eg.: Pycari). They have also designed a security system for cities and vehicles named JJ-99, which consists of energy turrets/cannons which shoot stunning charges at attackers that rarely cause death. These are useful against preventing attacks from wild predators and reducing enemy troops, but are mostly useless against spaceships, vehicles and war machinery. Since the approval of Project Finye, scientists are researching to improve weapons and implement them in the GT-92 for the expedition to Gorb Olohya, due to the possibility of the unknown civilization and other living beings in the sattelite being more dangerous than those in Xuz Fareh.

By themselves
"Take a look at the past. Opression, impotency, misery. Yet you already see where we are now. How, ladies and gentlemen, can such a puny being like us become a powerful civilization before anything else on this planet of inequality?"

- Daraunte III

"We, my fellow partners, shall not let our doubts unsatisfied, nor cause our curiosity to starve until death. We have the resources, we have the workforce, we have the capability. All we need now is the will, the desire. The desire of going beyond our cities, beyond the atmosphere itself! Let's make another revolution, one that will defy everything we knew about ourselves until now!"

Behind the Scenes

 * Unlike most other creations by Dinoman972, which were created before starting the fiction and then reused for it, the Llurebleg was created exclusively for the fiction.

Other Trivia

 * The Llurebleg don't actually know they were named Llurebleg by the unknown civilization who discovered them yet. They refer to themselves as hanyire, meaning "unknown origin" in Banarian.
