BOLAS

Bolas Rojas, also known as just Bolas or “Red Balls” in English, is a genus of humanoid bird-like creatures. These species have only been found on Egg Island, located near point nemo. They reside in warm climates like mountainous mesa biomes and grassy fields with a few trees.

Description

Medium-large species are ascribed to the genus, ranging from 150 cm to 190 cm (60-75 in). These creatures appear to be a mix of human and bird genetics, with a body covered in fur and feathers. Various patterns have been spotted, with the most prominent coloration being red first and black second, with some species having areas of blue, yellow, or green on their wings and legs. Their eyes are blood red and reflect light in the dark. Bolas are bipedal with a pair of arms similar to humans and a pair of wings protruding from their backs. Usually the wings are too small to be useful for flight, and are usually seen as a sign of status. The leader of the group will have the longest wings and often will be the only one who can actually fly, but usually only in fast bursts before gliding down to the ground. These creatures are seen wearing masks that are depicting other animals’ skulls, from birds to cats to humans. These are worn around the clock, even while sleeping, the reason behind the fashion statement is still unknown.

Behavior

Communal Roosting

Bolas gather in small groups of a dozen or so during non-breeding months. These gatherings tend to happen underground in caves. Living spaces are often surrounded by fires, either natural or Bolas made.

Play

Countless incidents of self-immolation, setting self on fire. This seems to be a sort of ceremonial behavior, but is also done for play or when in distress. Another form of play that has been documented has been a variety of dances.

Calls

Bolas have a primary call off “bolas”, which is where they got their name. These calls have a lot of variety in tone, muttering when sad and yelling when attempting to intimidate enemies. Have been heard cackling to themselves after a successful hunt.

Foraging

Bolas are not particularly skilled at hunting, so they rely on stealing food from surrounding species. They are often seen hunting in pairs.

Threats

Bolas are very loyal to members of their own genus no matter where they come from. They will swarm any intruder or enemy and are very resilient. They seem to be either partially or completely resistant to a variety of toxic gasses and have been seen removing their skull masks during toxic gas storms. Very threatening when in groups, but will turn skittish if the leader isn’t present.

Diet

Bolas are omnivores but lean towards herbivorous tendencies. They primarily satiate themselves with sap and nectar, but also seeds, spuds, bread, as well as various fruits and meat. Being foragers and thieves, they have evolved to eat almost whatever they can get their hands on.

The gospel is what made you ashamed to be yourself and live your life

The platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus), sometimes referred to as the duck-billed platypus, is a semiaquatic egg-laying mammal endemic to eastern Australia, including Tasmania. Together with the four species of echidna, it is one of the five extant species of monotremes, the only mammals that lay eggs instead of giving birth. The animal is the sole living representative of its family (Ornithorhynchidae) and genus (Ornithorhynchus), though a number of related species have been found in the fossil record. The first preserved platypus body was thought to have been a fake, made of several animals sewn together, when it was first looked at by scientists in 1799.

The unusual appearance of this egg-laying, duck-billed, beaver-tailed, otter-footed mammal baffled European naturalists when they first encountered it, with some considering it an elaborate hoax. It is one of the few species of venomous mammals: the male platypus has a spur on the hind foot that delivers a venomcapable of causing severe pain to humans. The unique features of the platypus make it an important subject in the study of evolutionary biology and a recognisable and iconic symbol of Australia; it has appeared as a mascot at national events and is featured on the reverse of its 20-cent coin. The platypus is the animal emblem of the state of New South Wales.
