Koala-folk

**This species was originally made by Monstermaster13, and has been reconfigured to fit into the CC Lore. Thank you for putting the blog of this on the wiki.**

The Koala-folk are an Ardan species in the CC-Verse, a species of anthromorphic Koala people from the continent of Australia (the same continent as the Tasmanian Tigers). They are, as the name suggests, anthropomorphic koalas.

## Myths and Misconceptions

It is a common myth that this species spends almost most of their day meditating and sleeping.

Since this species requires 10-16 hours of rest to recover their energy if they are wounded, or if their energy (in the CC-Verse this would be considered magical energy) is drained in any way.

They tend to have an odd relationship with dogs and dog-like creatures sometimes, usually canine based creatures are viewed as predators in their culture, and as such, Koala-folk in general are considered easy prey, especially by the Dongoi'i (the Dingo people of the planet Cava'ko) and the Lupu (one of many wolf-like alien peoples), but some koala-people get along well with canines, and some, are friends with a canine-creature or in a relationship with them.

Another misconception is about them having diseases... which isn't true either.

It is shown scientifically, that on average, they are one of the most healthy species on Arda.

Another misconception about koala-folk in general that they eat their own feces, which would contradict their own healthy lifestyles in a multitude of ways.

Another common misconception is that they are stupid, which isn't true, since this species in general is known for their high intelligence.

## General Overview

In general, they are very much into the supernatural, as well as dreams and mysticism, and they can sense the presence of other beings.

This species is known for being extremely protective of their loved ones, or people that they take a liking to, and while they're not smotherly in anyway, they basically will go out of their way to keep someone they like from being harmed by someone they don't trust.

It is explained that they have a variety of powers including superhuman strength, and enhanced agility which are part of their natural set of abilities, but each koala-person has a unique set of powers of their own (either magical or superpower-like in origin), as well as equally as unique personalities.

Some may come across as introverted and shy and others may be free-spirited and playful.

Some of them, who can see those with a good or 'light' aura are those they consider to be allies, those with a dark aura are deemed enemies that might try to harm people they like.

Koala-folk in general have an interest in helping out people in the community and as such, are often tutors, artists, or crimefighters. And it is also shown that Koala-folk in general know there is good and bad in everyone, if a villain/monster of any kind has qualities that make them able to be redeemed by them they will help said villain/monster to redeem them, but if that villain/monster comes across as too irredeemable even if they try their best methods to redeem them, then that villain/monster has to apologize for their actions and promise to never ever do what they do ever again.

In addition to this, there are expert healers, and their magical hugs can even heal injured/fainted Pokemon.

It is possible one can turn into a Koala-person via various ways, like many other species in the CC-Verse.

## Famous Koala-Folk

Created by Monstermaster13, very slightly modified to fit CC-Verse lore (aka the 'sway in Ardan politics' thing since her original bio has mentions of real world politics and the CC-Verse clearly doesn't have that).
