Phelsuma Gekkoninae Sapiens, AKA Stone Age Geckos
Phelsuma's are of the already cautios gecko species the most elusive and carefull in their dealings with other species, relying on a range of defensive and stealth skills, and living together in hidden hives.
Offensive:none
Exotic:19 EP: Setae lvl 3. The Phelsumae can scale walls and ceilings with a remarkable ease, thanks to the special Setae, or bristles, growing on their feet. While it allows them to walk on any surface as if it was ground, it takes much more effort than walking.
Defensive:8 EP: A Lizard's Tail lvl 2. The tail of the Phelsuma is only loosely attached to the body, and a predator will often find himself holding only a tiny bit of meat while the gecko itself runs to safety. This has proven a usefull defensive ability, actually giving geckos quite a chance to survive a dangerous encounter.
8 EP: Camouflaged lvl 2. The Phelsumae skin has an intricate pattern of brown, green and grey, and many a gecko masters the art of hiding. A hiding, camouflaged gecko is very hard to spot.
Civilized:13 EP: Insect Farming lvl 2. The Phelsumae have found out that insects, their main source of food, breed very fast in certain conditions and with enough food. Special spots in their hive are reserved for insect breeding purposes, and any rotting fruit or meat found out in the open is brought to these chambers by the geckos, providing the insects with food.
2 EP: Hidden Hive lvl 1. The Geckos have long ago noticed that using a natural cave as hive and hiding the entrance with leaves and strong-smelling plants is a great way of misleading predators. Even though their skill is far from perfection, the hidden hives are left untouched by many opponents.
We will start in row 7, the 3d hex from the top, boulders, heigth 2. A hilltop with cliffs and grown-over boulders is a perfect place for geckos to live.
