Norp

Please don't do this.

A norp is a species of flying creature native to Tarati.

Appearance

The norp has a large hole where its digestive organs would normally be, to reduce weight. It has a long tongue for reaching food and six eyes which can see in all directions.

Diet

Norp graze on spomes, and the gases they ingest from the spomes causes the norp to be weightless.

If a norp has not eaten in some time it will become grounded, and needs to feed on spomes to be able to float again.

Behaviour

A norp is not particularly fast or agile, instead relying on wind currents for travel. It does not have any predators in the upper atmosphere.

Norp colonies can be found everywhere on Tarati, from the jungles to the snowy mountains. Norp mothers will carry their eggs underneath their tail flap, and the babies are hatched in mid-air.

Norp can survive the freezing air temperatures of upper Tarati
