Gonzalezes are an extinct species of cellular organism indigenous to the oceans of the planet Nhizilius, and are one of several species that led directly to the planet's sapient species, the Zadeji. They were quite swift organisms thanks to four flagella near the rear of their bodies; this was only aided by a pair of cilia-fins that allow for quick turns. Like many of their ancestors, they were simple herbivores yet due to their ancestors' slow speeds they were highly aggressive and would kill both fellow herbivores and predators alike if given the opportunity. They were well protected by predators giving chase by a large organelle on their back end that poisoned the waters around their posterior; while the ocean would dilute this quite quickly, anything pursuing a Gonzalez would swallow the deadly chemical compounds and would perish if they did not give up their pursuit.
Behind the Scenes[]
- While technically their taxonomic classification would not fit into that of Earth's, it works for now.
- Gonzalez is named in tribute to Speedy Gonzales.
