Not really, just procrastinated, at most it’ll be as good as the Kao’as in the XenoBiology Center of Terra™

the bad animal

Name: Naiya

Scientific Name: Parvus frigus

Habitat: Northern Tundra of Midas-735

The Naiya is a species of the genus Parvus, and are a sibling species to the Kao’as. They live in the Tundra, and their diet is based mostly in starchy foods and multiple fruits, though meat is also sometimes eaten.

In average, the Naiya live in groups of 20 to 100 individuals, as this helps them to protect themselves. The Naiya has a very rigid social hierarchy, where it’s almost impossible to change your status.

A Naiya’s size is normally around 70 and 120 centimeters, though some reports say that there have been MegaNaiyas, of sizes as big as 4 meters.

Depending on the strength of the individual, a Naiya has it’s position in the hierarchy, but sometimes Naiyas that are useful to the leader are put into higher ranks, ignoring their strenght.

The Naiyas are covered in white, thick fur, and their bodies are fat rich. Their heads are as big as a quarter of their body, and their craniums are very thick.

A common trait in this species is that they have a thin shell in their backs, which is used to carry the young and to protect themselves. They normally live for 20 years, and reach maturity at 8 years old, their gestation periot takes a year, but normally they reproduce every two years. The shell generates when they’re 5 months old, so before that time the Naiyas are vulnerable, and are protected by the other members of their group.

We know that the Naiyas have made stone age tools, and we believe that they’re used to protect themselves from predators.

Many people have said that they’ve heard a Naiya talk, though this is still not confirmed.
