Flinünnǵk

**Flinünnǵk** is a species which lives on Ediaric and Divindi. It is thought that the ancestors of this species originated in Solspace.

Flinünnǵk are telepathic and can only communicate telepathically. They are more likely to be blessed 'Yellow' than any other colour.

## Basic Infomation

Flinünnǵk are described as tall, humanoid reptiles with two black tortoise-like eyes, which has a third eyelid, but no tear duct.

Their nose are two slits in the middle of their face. Their ears are hidden under a scale behind the eyes and just above the jaw, near the back of the head. The Flinünnǵk body is covered in tough scales, and thin scales all over, apart from around the eyes.

Females are generally larger.

The gestation period for the Flinünnǵk is from thirty days to three years. They can lay fertile eggs up to four years after mating, although fertility reduces significantly after each season. They lay eggs in clutches, usually with two-seven eggs in each. On average Flinünnǵk have around twenty-four children, and having less than ten is very uncommon.

They reach maturity at around 11 years, and their breeding ages are usaully between 25-150 years. After 150 years, they start to slow down and experience symptoms of aging. Flinünnǵk shed their skin over time, they're skin peeling bit-by-bit. When they are young they possess tails, which drop off around the age of 15.

Flinünnǵk live and thrive in a tropical rainforest climate, though have been noted to survive unaided in desert temperatures. They prefer hotter temperatures, but can adapt to colour tempertures as long as it isn't below zero.

They have good colour vision even though they don’t have blood vessels on the retina. They have a good sense of smell, that they use to smell their food, and kin. They can only hear hearing is okay, but they hear low frequencies better than others. They have strong Psionic powers, that they use to receive information about the environment around them.

## Additional Infomation

In a settlement, the leader is the oldest Seniorem in the settlement. The oldest Seniorem usually has the title of Elder.

The Seniorem is the oldest alive memeber of a family, and every Flinünnǵk has one.

For a male Flinünnǵk to leave their parents family and become their own Seniorem of their own family, they need to have at least two children themselves, and not be the first born male. Parents stay with their first born males for the rest of there lives. If their first born son dies before having children, then the parents stay with the next in line, not matter of what gender.

If a young Flinünnǵk loses all immediate family members, then they are adopted by the oldest Seniorem in their settlement. They keep their birth last name, and are encouraged to become their own Seniorem to start up their family again.
