Description

Tsimu live in elevated locations, mostly safe from terrestrial predators.
Because of their somewhat isolated habitats, travel from one area to another is often difficult.
this isolation has allowed each tsimu to evolve to their habitats, resulting in two main body morphs

Arboreal:
Arboreal tsimu live where their name implies. Within trees! (canopies, trunks and whatnot)
Therfore they have developed some specialized structures made for living within said environment.

Unique traits and abilities:
- Arboreal tsimu are often light weight and limber, allowing for easier maneuvering through branches and brush
- Their naturally long tails are have developed complex musculature that can become flexible to taut upon command. Their long tails are used for grappling onto branches, reaching for far-reach items, and general utility.
- Their diet is mainly frugivorous, with some bugs for extra protein. Therfore the need for strong, defined jaws and teeth have become needless. Most arboreal tsimu have rounded facial features with generally blunt teeth.


Rocky
Rocky tsimu also live where their name implies, in rocky regions. This includes areas within mountains and high hills including terraces, cliff-sides, sometimes even summits!
Therfore they have developed some specialized structures made for living within said environment.

Unique traits and abilities:
- Rocky tsimu are characterized to be bulky and posess significantly larger chests (compared to arboreal tsimu) that fit in enlarged lungs important for elongated stamina and surviving in high altitudes.
- There's not a lot of things to grapple onto with their tails, therfore they have evolved out of the longer, prehensile tail that their relatives carry
- Because of the lack of vegetation in their environments, Rocky tsimu are more carnivorous than frugivorous. They rely on their strength, stamina and bodily weaponry (claws, canines, strength) to hunt down prey
- Mountains tend to get rather cold, therefore fluffy, bulky rockies are very common!!


Hybrid
Rocky and Arboreal tsimu are capable of breeding with one another, to created hybrid tsimu that possess traits from both parents. They are very uncommon, being that environments can be vastly apart and tsimu are creatures of low mobility. However areas where trees and mountains collide do exist and Hybrid tsimu are more likely to appear there.

Unique traits and abilities:
- Hybrid tsimu are able to possess a selection of traits and abilities from either parent
- For example, one might have the tail of an arboreal but the hands of a rocky
- These traits can be passed down onto offspring


Petite:
Petite tsimu result from a hormonal imbalance that caused dwarfism. Petites can be found in any body type, including arboreal, rocky and hybrids.

Unique traits and abilities:
- Despite the smaller body, Petite tsimu often carry the same size hands, heads, ears and tail of their respective build
- Definitely not physical workers

Nest Information:
All Tsumi tend to live in groups called nests!
Nearly all nests live in elevated areas. The most common nest locations tend to be canopies and mountain-sides.
Nests can be built and inhabited in many different ways. Many of which include:
In groups of hanging homes along branches of canopies, Within a large family tree, Spread out through an entire forest, Carved within cliff-sides, Built onto mountain peaks
Because of limited resources and living spaces, nests tend to be small. (5-30)
However a few civilizations that inhabit entire forests/mountains do exist. These societies can contain up to 100+ Tsimu, although formation of these societies can be very difficult due to their mortal lifespans and natural distrust for those out of their original kin.
Common Nest Culture:
Unlike civilizations from the ground, their limited home grounds can't support too many Tsimu of the same nest. Therefor

This is so cool...i wish I could learn how to draw animal bodies like this. But I never get the hang of it. What ya need to learn to draw them? Because I want to be into this little creatures and create more types of them or new species

To reply just as a guess, they're latest journal reveals that all of their closed species have been given up. As said, people are allowed to make them now, if that's what I understand.

Really like all the thought you put into these! Especially the different environmental types <33
I like how each one has it's own strengths and weaknesses too xD
