Ineo

Old version of Ineo

An aquatic species with often humanoid shapes

Species Traits: Aquatic, Echolocation

Work in progress

Ineo is an aquatic species, native to the planet [[rules/Kotimme]

Ineo thrive easily in wet or moist environments such a swamps, lakes, seas and oceans, but are also able to breathe air and spend time in drier environments.

They often have slender humanoid shapes, but it is not entirely uncommon for Ineo to have fish-like tails instead of legs.

The method of reproduction of the Ineo is distinctly different from most humanoids:

For starters, the reproductive abilities of an Ineo become active only at underwater locations with specific characteristics.

There are multiple types of these locations:

  1. Locations that stimulate Ineo to grow cores
  2. Locations that stimulate Ineo to grow webs
  3. Locations that allow the webbed core to develop

The process starts when an Ineo spends enough time in location of type 1 to grow one or more cores. With these cores, the Ineo then travels to a location of type 2, usually accompanied by their partner(s). The Ineo then grow web-like tissue at their extremities to wrap the core in. The core then starts to absorb the genetic material in the webs to create a new set of DNA. Through the webs, the core is able to absorb neccesary nutrients to develop and grow. The water must therefore be rich in nutrients.

Because of the nature of their repoduction, diverse appearances are common as the cores are occasionally known to absorb genetic material from contaminations in the webs.

Can naturally live up to around 300 years.
