Biology

The Eladlye are adapted to the hot, wet, and dense Vxrek Tropics. They are lanky, flexible, and relatively low-mass of build, adapted for fast movement and agility. The downside of this is being less able to withstand powerful kinetic impacts. Their skin is dappled in shades of green and brown for camouflage. This skin is thin, heavily vascularized, and coated in a waxy, fungal-resistant biofilm. The skin is adapted for rapid heat exchange.This skin lacks the typical toughness of kin'toni skin, and is susceptible to lacerations from thorns and sharp foliage.

They lack hair on their heads, in replacement having water-shedding patches of coarse, dark fur on the major joints and the back of the neck. This fur aids their thermal regulation and camouflage in the deep shade. Their ears are large, cupped and mobile, adapted for isolating the minute sounds of movement in the dense jungle. This can lead to them being overwhelmed and directionally confused by cacophonous noises. The eyes are bright green in color, and are adapted for the low-light conditions beneath the dark canopy of the tropics.

The nose is large, and adapted for identifying minute changes in humidity and air pressure, as to predict approaching rain or storms. The downside of this is being able to be overcome easily by strong smells. Their teeth are long, thin and serrated, for piercing and draining rapidly the low-nutrient blood of small, tropical prey. These teeth are fragile, and prone to breaking. The enhanced, flexible larynx allows them to perfectly imitate sounds, for communication and startling prey.

Their claws are long, curved and retractable, adapted for wet, slippery bark and gripping mossy stone surfaces for climbing. The feet are long and flexible, with an backward-facing, opposable toe that aids gripping branches but makes movement on open ground hard. Their major joints are hyper-flexible, able to move in ways zu'aan joints cannot. These joints are adapted for climbing, not for movement on flat, open ground. The joints are prone to dislocation due to significantly reduced stability. The circulatory system has specialized shunt valves.

This is for rapidly redirecting their blood flow to the extremities for quick cooling. They also have recycling glands optimized for non mammalian blood. By being optimized to quickly process the low-lipid, high-water content blood, they can feed quickly off native lifeforms. The downside of this is an less efficient system needing them to drink more non mammalian blood same nutritional value. The Eladlye have an high tolerance for ambient humidity and heat. This allows them to remain active without heat exhaustion, even in the hottest nights.

The downside of this is being highly vulnerable to rapid hypothermia, such as if they are soaked or exposed to cold environments. They are also highly prone to frostbite in cold environments, due to a mix of their loss mass build, their thin skin and the fact their fur tends to trap water.
