Species Info
Kriik/Kriiks
A certain type of organic growth always grows on a kriik's forehead, depending of the subtype. The growth grows from the middle of the forehead, usually forming a crown-like look.
One kriik can only grow one type of organic growth, but the size and maturity of the organic growth can vary freely.
There must always be at least a sapling/small growth on a kriik's head!
Eyes
Kriik eyes can be any color and shape. Kriiks have sensitive eyes, so they usually keep them closed during the day.
During light and darkness they use little chitter to navigate!
SUBTYPES
