Description:
This cave-dwelling species has had their anatomy evolutionarily altered due to their dependence on cave-like environments for food and shelter. This has caused them to lose their ability to fly, as well as growing larger heads, ears, and eyes for more optimal use of their sensory organs.
A Boggan’s claws are well adapted for clinging onto cave walls and climbing, giving them the ability to hold onto even the slipperiest of walls for their food. Their diet consists of plant matter & insects, particularly flightless cave moths, which make up a majority of their diet.
Boggans use bioluminescence as a form of communication with other organisms, flashing their luminescent markings in a rhythmic pattern to send signals to others. These signals are complex and can tell other boggans everything they need to know about an individual, where food is, whether there are threats in a certain area, and so on.
Misc Facts:
- Males tend to be the more brightly coloured of the sexes, but it isn't unusual to see females who will also sport this vibrant look.
- A female Boggan can bear up to 4 pups in a litter, she will typically barricade herself within a long hole structure called a "nest scratch" that her mate will dig for her. Females will use their bodies as a barricade to prevent predators from getting to her young, this however means she is totally dependant on her mate for sustainance for the first few weeks.
