Kermarou are small, long-legged mammals that inhabit the rocky hills and sandstone crevices of Yalia, in Esgaia. They are key omnivorous species, serving as prey for mid-level predators while dispersing seeds and controlling insect populations. Kermarou have high reproductive output, allowing populations to remain stable despite predation and harsh conditions.

Etymology

Unknown.

Morphology

Kermarou are slender with long legs, agile bodies, and light-colored eyes adapted for low-light environments. Fur varies among species but is generally short and pale.

Physiology

They have fast-running gaits.

Diet

They are omnivorous, feeding on insects like Inandi, mosses, and small plants such as Pebblepip.

Mechanisms

Their vocalizations include high-pitched chirps for alarm or territorial signaling.

Behavior

Life Cycle

Kermarou breed once per year at the end of winter, spring, and summer, producing litters of three to four offspring. Juveniles mature quickly.

Social Structure

Solitary and territorial.

Ecology

Nests are built in small caves, crevices, or under boulders. Juveniles disperse to establish their own territories, contributing to the species’ resilience in the rocky plains.
