## Biography

Alakai hatched in a nest along with his siblings and was taken care of by his parents for the first few days of his lie, he didn't need much help from mom and dad to leave the nest, he could run, look for food, and even fly just a few days after he was born.

Alakai spent the next few months hopping around different islands of the southern isles, munching on bugs and fish, and scavenging from carcasses when he could. He flew to one of the southern islands and lived there for a little bit, but decided to migrate the main island after the resident pterosaurs on one of the islands started to find him a little too annoying. He has a knack for messing with other creatures for his own amusement.

One day he was chilling in the Redwood Coastline, sleeping on a tree branch, when he heard something rubbing against the tree, and it jolted him awake. he looked down to see a young lambeosaurus scratching against the tree, apparently the mosquitoes were getting pretty bad that year, and the lambeo was scratching himself on trees to relief the itch. Alakai offered to stick around, and eat any bugs that start to bother em, in exchange for protection, and the lambeo agreed. The Lambeosaurus name was Tyuke, and they decided to stick together purely as symbiotic partners initially, but their relationship soon grew to something beyond that, and a true friendship began to bloom.

One day they Alakai and his new friend stumbled across a herd of hadrosaurs, so Tyuke and Alakai decided to join them. joined this herd, and have spent the past few years living with them. Alakai usually hangs around Tyuke, talking with him and eating any bugs that bother him, and he also has a bit of a rivalry with the spider that lives in Tyuke's Crest to see who can catch the most bugs.

* This is What I imagine Alakai sounds like

* The name "Alakai" means "To guide" which is ironic because if he's supposed to be Tyuke's guide then he's doing a shit job
