While hunting prey, it ignites gas produced in its belly to launch itself between branches in rapid succession, though it's very careful to not set any trees alight.
Its fins are so sensitive that it can detect water ripples from up to a mile downstream, using unique ripple patterns with its shell to communicate with others of its species.
It spends weeks in solitude gathering water within its body, becoming incredibly dense and heavy. The stored water sustains the plant growing atop its head for months during periods of drought.
Challenges between Zochar may last for several hours, during which each challenger creates illusions of increasing complexity. The winner's tail flame burns brighter from the joy of victory.
Dandelion-like seed heads float off the Cottonwig's head and plant themselves in the ground. When Cottonwig returns in future seasons, it can remember where it has been by the scent of the flowers that have grown from those seeds.
Normally docile, it spends its days weaving heat-resistant cloth. When threatened, it ejects pillows of cotton that ignite into bright balls of flame to scare off predators.
When its song is interrupted, its whole body ignites and enters a chirping rage, relentlessly pecking at whatever disturbed it. The flash of heat this produces is so powerful that it takes several days for its tail feathers to regrow.
Friendly by nature, it often attempts to perch atop people's heads. Unfortunately, the excess water its gathered tends to rain down on its unsuspecting host.
It navigates dark caverns using colored beams of light emitted from the jewels on its head and tail. The hottest of these beams can melt through solid rock.
Though its body is warm on the outside, its internal temperature can reach up to 800°C. The fires that burn from its ears and tail are excess heat it cannot yet fully control.
Braiwig accumulates twigs between tufts of fur, using it as kindling for warmth while searching for food in cold, damp undergrowth. Calls between Braiwig can often be heard at dawn, signaling to others that ideal collectable wood is nearby.
It will replace a lost tail stick with an even larger one rather than ask for help retrieving it, to avoid bruising its pride. If the stick is stolen, it furiously launches into battle to confront the thief.
Offerings are sometimes made to wild Delup to appease its prideful nature. In return, it may grant a vision of the future through the flames of the burning stick it always carries.
It shows great resourcefulness in the face of danger, utilizing its sensitive tongue and fiery tail to detect its enemies, then modify its shuriken attacks for maximum effectiveness.
Though they typically drift lazily across the water's surface, Lochar are far more agile than they appear. By folding the lilypad atop their heads and tucking their limbs close to their bodies, they can swim at remarkable speeds.
It will bounce up and down when it hears rhythmic sounds or music. Due to its photosynthesis, these dancing motions could last for the entire day under bright sun and clear skies.
A popular ritual among couples is to place their hands upon a Luvchar's head and tail. If its tail radiates warmth, it is said to be proof of genuine love.
It becomes so engrossed in foraging that it sometimes forgets to keep its tail ignited. To prevent this, Zigchar often forage in groups and warn one another when a flame begins to fade.
Each day, it stores thousands of megawatts of electricity captured by its large, conductive ears. When the charge reaches its tail, it surges in a wild discharge.
When Corpwig molts, it cracks and crunches the discarded shell beneath its feet. As no survival reason could be determined after years of research, it has been confirmed to simply be play behavior.
