This is an updated fact file about the Jolleraptor (JR) species as well as their home world and the research group studying them! I hope that you will enjoy this read!

Info about Jolleraptors

- Jolleraptors originally came from the planet Astrion and are born from cookie eggs. Their gods are named Omis and Eidrot; Eidrot being responsible for Jolles now being found across the universe and not limited to Astrion.

- Jolleraptors possess high animal intelligence and can mimic sounds and even some words, however cannot formulate sentences like humans and other higher than human intelligence species can! They can only speak in chirps which of course their own kind can understand but not humans. A translator has been made by a certain research facility.

- A fully grown standard JR is roughly the size of the palm of your hand! A Jollemonster is roughly the size of a teacup chihuahua and yes, they bite.

- While they can rear up, and waddle on their back legs like a dog can, it’s not for very long, seconds at most. When eating, sometimes a JRs back legs will lift and cause them to flip, though some have perfected this trick for entertainment purposes.

- Their running technique is similar to a bunny hop at most and are certainly very nimble, clocking speeds of up to 10mph to up to 30mph in a short sprint to escape predators!

- Some jolles have hidden teeth, so while they’re not visible all the time, when it comes to eating, it’s a whole different story. Maw shape often can impede communications and eating, such as the overbite and underbite. Some grim jolles with warthog teeth even use them to clean their nostrils... charming.

- Jolles are very, very flexible, having catlike flexibility when it comes to bending - meaning they can bend in some very unusual shapes indeed. You will often see a pack of JRs often playing games of contortionist vibes and while it may look painful or hilarious, they are not in any pain at all.

- JRs have the most nerve pain receptors in their back legs, where they absorb sunlight in order to be able to produce their smoke. This means that they know where NOT to be clumsy in order to avoid stubbed toes. Damaging in such a way can even damage the heat tube and hinder the Jolles ability to create and breathe smoke!

- While Jolles absorb sunlight to be able to create smoke, they don’t actually produce it in their legs. They have a special organ in their body known as the Furnacia - which uses the collected heat to dissolve energy in the vaporium, the organ above it; the heat tube from the legs goes through both of these organs and this in turn allows the JR to freely breathe smoke at their will.

- JRs with coloured legs however have lesser ability to create smoke since they cannot hold their heat very well and therefore need to sunbathe more often to keep being able to produce smoke albeit at smaller amounts! Make sure if you have a Jolle, maybe have a conservatory or keep the heating on for them - even have little items of clothing to keep their feet warm!

Extra Info Regarding Astrion

As we know, Astrion is the homeworld for the Jolleraptor species, but there was very little in-depth information regarding it, so here we are!

Planetary information

The planet Astrion, named so by its discoverer, Dr. Integra Wick-Astrion, is a planet teeming with terra and volcanic activity (from the flaming pit in the planet) in a small solar system with ten other planets.

Astrion is roughly about 15.5 times bigger than Earth and its gravity is about 5.85 times that of Earth. Due to the radiation it emits and the stronger gravity, this causes any life taller than the native species Jolleraptors, to shrink to their size.

A single day on Astrion lasts 31.29 hours and a year lasts 389 days. The planet is made up of 6 continents currently as one had recently split from the main continent Alogenis, these 6 continents make up 59% of the planet's landmass.

2 moons Weiss and Apophis orbit the planet (Apophis following a closer orbit than humans would consider comfortable and has some ill effects on Jolles cursed by the moon) and Astrion itself orbits a white sun in an elliptic orbit.

The plant-like organisms on this planet are mostly different types of grass, but they could be compared to flowers, as they come in almost every color and they have incredible scents which Jolleraptors, especially the Billow subtype enjoy rubbing onto their fur. Trees and larger shrubs make up most of the higher layers, but flowers, fungi and bushes are nearly non-existent barring the few on the recently split continent Adora.

With the exception of a handful of species, none of them have developed into anything advanced. Most species still rely on simple photosynthesis to survive. A few species do have the basic beginnings of thorns and specialized leaves though, but it will be a long time before those are fully developed.

Corals, although very basic, can be found all over the planet's oceans, seas and lakes. While they lack the bright colors and odd shapes you'd find on Earth's corals, they do have the makings of a varied aquatic wildlife, with an abundance of gorgeous species.

With the exception of a few very basic insect and fish species barring the oceans megalodon sized creature, this planet is only home to countless microbe species. But while they may not be far into the evolutionary line, they do provide us with potential answers to the creation of this planet. The few insects and fish species show some slight forms of evolution, but they have a long way to go before they look like anything we've seen on Earth.

Land mammals that predate on Jolles commonly are seen with frills and are more evolved to be upright, with more saber like teeth to pierce different subtypes natural armour, while others tend to feed on the fish and insects. There are some herbivorous species on the planet as well that tend to live in the high trees and remain there for safety from the mammals below, though that doesn’t stop them being constantly bothered by the Jolleraptors that do climb to cause mischief!

Information about the continents

Alogenis (the main continent) - the parent continent, most towns and cities dwell here with habitants located everywhere! Weather conditions are mixed as they are on earth and depending on ocean temperatures, can be wild at times.

Adora (micro continent) - recently split off from Alogenis, is an abundant continent for life and serves as a temple to Omis and for jolles to honeymoon and show their love for one another. Warm but not too humid.

Ratis (the floating continent) - impacted by a meteor launched by Eidrot in his rage, this continent is held to the planet by its gravitational force, but magnetically levitated by the negative charge the water holds thus the continent floats. Perfect for jolles learning how to fly... with their big wings. The air is very thin and not many jolles do travel this way but Cavernous Jolles are known to live here as it is both darker and allows for easy hunting.

Lacunite (Cityscape continent) - This continent is submerged underwater but has a gigantic air pocket that does not let water in. The positive magnetic charge of the rocky terrain to the negatively charged waters allows the jolles to use the lake in the middle as the entrance to the city and a safe space from further impacts caused by Eidrot. Under the lake and in the air pocket lays the city “Jovitate”.

Clovine (the colourful continent) - while this may LOOK like multiple islands, the rainbows that connect to them are infused with luck. Seems some activities take place on this continent. Jolles can use the rainbow as a bridge and even move the rainbows to get back to their own continents when requested! (Yes, the rainbows are sentient beings please do not upset Omis’ guardians) Dreamers are known to make their home here as the weather conditions are always perfect.

Aviente (the sister continent to Alogenis) - this continent is a more desert based continent, the terrain and conditions are harsh and the weather more so. Brimstones are one of the only subtypes known to survive out here in intense heat during the day time and Tundras are inhabiting the cold nights desert, with temperatures below -10F. There are two zones to this desert continent so both can however survive all hours of the day in north and south.
