Axovulcan

The Axovulcan head

The Axovulcan are a fan-made tribe made by Aetholis1. They live in a strange land with indigo ice and huge cryovolcanoes. They are not based on any real place or group of people.

## Description

"The Axovulcan live in a land of indigo ice and towering cryovolcanoes. They have used this volcanically active land to their advantage, creating bountiful mines and excavating huge amounts of minerals. But that doesn't mean that the other tribes don't want this bountiful land to themselves..."

#### Field

The Axovulcan field has a thick layer of snow on top of semi-opaque indigo-purple ice.

#### Fruit

The Axovulcan fruit is a Bloomfruit, a sunflower that can bear fruit. These fruits, picked by the Axovulcan, are very nutritious. The petals, which are normally yellow, create a purple-indigo color when boiled.

#### Forest

Bombacifolia trees, commonly known as Cotton-leaf trees, have a sturdy wood and leaves that have a cotton-like material on the undersides. The Bombacifolia tree is unique in that it needs saltwater to grow, and that is why they are commonly seen near the saltwater lakes.

#### Animal

The Axovulcan animal is called a Kalaneli, and it is a rabbit-squid hybrid. They have tons of unique traits that they have evolved to survive in the cold yet welcoming Axovulcani tundra.

##### Kalaneliology (Biology of the Axovulcan wild animal)

Kalaneli, a Rabbit x Squid hybrid, have several unique adaptations that they have evolved to stay alive in the saltwater lakes and the Axovulcan tundra. They appear as a large gray rabbit, with 2 opercula on either side of the neck, and 1 on top. The southernmost of the neck opercula, and the one on top, are used to store air under-water: air is stored in special glands and is used when the Kalaneli has almost ran out of breath. The remaining opercula on the neck act like fish gills, allowing the Kalaneli to breathe underwater. These are, however, used less often than the opercula for holding air. Kalaneli do, however, have a nose, which is closed while the Kalaneli swims in the saltwater lakes. They have 3 large bare patches of squid-like skin: one on either side, and one on top. These patches of squid skin are dotted with bioluminescent turquoise dots. Most dots are small, while others can be larger. In order to keep their skin patches moist while not in a lake, the Kalaneli do the following:

1.  Wait for 4-7 minutes for the patches to turn frosty. Only about 1/4 of the bioluminescent dots will be shining at this time, to prevent from freezing over completely.

2.  Illuminate all its bioluminescent dots and create surges of body heat to melt the frost and create droplets of water, moisturizing the skin patches.

3. Repeat!

The Kalaneli have 6 limbs. The front limbs resemble rabbit paws, with suction cups lining the bottom. The limbs in the middle are entirely squid tentacles, and those in the back are like rabbit’s feet, but with suction cups lining the back half of the bottom.

### Mountain

The Axovulcan are known for their huge cryovolcanoes. The tallest, Mount Krahutli, spews out tons of ice and snow every week. In Axovulcani, the name for these huge volcanoes is *riha'kwanali*, meaning "dangerous tower". The cryovolcanoes also have a variety of special metals. The rarest is Kalanelium, named after the Kalaneli animal.
