Description

Pro'clei are a gargantuan species that inhabits the various islands that are flecked across the vast Acquiriad seas. Towering at least three times higher than the average Quirr'eo, they amble over the brush with ease. Unlike most Acquiriads, Pro'clei live further inland, where the best browsing is available. Pro'cleis rubbery hide bears the same dull hues shared by almost every species on the planet, which is a mirror reflection on the sodden landscape. Most of Acquiris is covered by marshlands, as only the deepest areas of ocean have enough access to currents to remain in any semblance to fresh. Because of the lack of currents across the expanse of the waterways, wind and rain are scarce, and the while the heat is not too bad humidity levels soar. The Pro'cleis adaptions to this harsh environment has made them the most evolutionarily advanced, as they are the only non-sentient creature to have to constantly refer to the waters to keep alive. The have developed an intricate pore system, that covers their entire body except for small areas on their head. When a Pro'clei comes into contact with any moisture, it is immediately absorbed into the pores. The liquid will then travel through a short tube before dribbling back out the other end of the pore. This effectively cleans and cools them at the same time. Such rotation can sometimes cause buildup of crystallized sweat and dirt on their belly, but this is easily removed by rubbing across the brush.
