Classification: Amphibious-Monotreme Life Cycle: Beginning its life as an egg it hatches into a tadpole-like larva that is strictly aquatic, furless and blind. Metamorphosis begins with the opening of the eyes, elongating outer ears and hind leg development. In this pollywog-like stage the lungs develop, ears continue to elongate, tail begins to narrow and shorten and the front legs develop as the eyes grow more circular in shape. After all four legs are completely developed fur begins to grow and so do the incisors. The tail is mostly absorbed into the body for nutrients leaving a very short tail that grows a tuft of fur on it. Ears: Outer: Ribbed lagomorph ears act as sound enhancers for the inner amphibious ears. Mouth: Sharp Incisor teeth able to bite through the toughest materials with long sticky tongue for catching insects. Fur: Their fur isn't actually fur at all, but hair thin clear spines that are more like the scales on a reptile than actual hair. The "fur" contains both the same cell mechanism that influences the colors & patterns on a chameleon's skin and the same bioluminescent chemicals found in some arthopods and deep-sea marine life. They can emit blue, green, yellow, red and infrared lights. Because they are cold-blooded the "fur" absorbs cooler temperatures to keep the skin cool in their humid environments. Markings and colors vary though they're typically bright in color, bellies of the tree dwelling un-ekets are generally blue to mimic sky and backs are colored according to the foliages in which they live. Legs: Quadrupedal: Short front limbs, longer hind limbs Feet: 4-5 digits on front feet and 5 digits on hind feet webbed or partially webbed and typically ending in claws or suction cups depending upon the breed of Un-eket.
