Gounia

**Gounia** (meaning fur skin in greek) sometimes called Gounies, is a Endothermic class of Septempollicems, they are named after the fact that they have fur-like filaments on their bodies called wur or wair, but most people just call it fur, and fill up a lot of the same roles that mammals fill on Earth. They are Septempollicems answer to mammals. They evolved around 136mya. The their point of origin is South Primaterra. They evolved from the clade Xenosynapsid. The earliest known Gouniomorpha was the Xenomorganucodontids, tiny Rat-size creatures that lived in the shadows of the Dinoavesia 210 million years ago. They were one of several different **Gounia** lineages that emerged around that time. All living Gounia today, including Aununa, descend from the one line that survived. The Gouniformes appears 178mya.

Ovumstratis (egg layers in Latin) is the first subclass under **Gounia**, defined by the fact that it lays eggs. Mollisshelledovumstratis (soft shelled egg layers in Latin) are the first Infraclass under Ovumstratis, defined by the fact that it lays soft shelled eggs. Monotremia (one hole in Latin) are the first Subterclass under Mollisshelledovumstratis, defined by the fact that it has a cloaca. Duotremia (two holes in Latin) are the second Subterclass under Mollisshelledovumstratis, defined by the fact that it doesn't have a cloaca. Shelledovumdurumstratis (hard shelled egg layers in Latin) are the second Infraclass under Ovumstratis, defined by the fact that it lays hard shelled eggs. Migalouchia (non lactation in Greek) are the first Subterclass under Shelledovumdurumstratis, defined by the fact that they don't produce milk. Galouchia (lactation in Greek) are the second Subterclass under Shelledovumdurumstratis, defined by the fact that they produce milk. Vivamuspeperitrariinoxiorum (live birth givers in Latin) are the second subclass under **Gounia**, defined by the fact that it gives live birth. Puersinum is the first infraclass under Vivamuspeperitrariinoxiorum, defined by the fact that it gives live birth, but the young are carried in a pouch, just like a Marsupial. Uterocarriers is the second Infraclass under Vivamuspeperitrariinoxiorum, defined by the fact that it gives live birth and doesn't have a pouch. Nonlaca is the first Subterclass under Uterocarriers, defined by the fact that it gives live birth and don't produces milk. Factoremlac is the second Subterclass under Uterocarriers, defined by the fact that it gives live birth and produces milk from their whisacles to feed their young. Matrislaca is the first Parvclass under Factoremlac, defined by the fact that it gives live birth and the mothers produces milk. Parenteslaca is the second Parvclass under Factoremlac, defined by the fact that it gives live birth and both parents produces milk.

While the Dinoavesia ruled over South Primaterra for 111 million years, the **Gounia** couldn't take over, but after all the Dinoavesia (except for Fterotodermia(Dirds)) went extinct, they rose up, just like the mammals did, and took over the continent, but a few million years before Omnisterra formed the **Ypsilistasia** challenged them for the title. After Omnisterra formed, every class from every continent joined the battle.

## Levels of how much each class kept the electric ability,

Agrioderma 100%

Olisthirodermia 88%

Folidotodermia 75%

**Fterotodermia** 25%

**Gounia** 50%

Ypsilistasia 99%

Frynoskorpia 50%

Xenosynapsid unknown

Dinoavesia unknown

Dracosauria unknown.

The reason why half of them have lose the electric abilities is because for most of them it wasn't worth having, because it hurts them every time they use it, and if they use it too much they'll kill themselves, but the 50% that do keep it have reduced it, either down to the same level of voltage as those shocking gum prank toys, or static electricity, or only being able to make their fur stick up to make themselves look bigger to predators, for example Kavai owo. Most that do still have it at a higher level of voltage are Albinaelectriamatic, but they can't over use it or they will kill themselves.

## Aposematism, and Albinaelectriamatism.

There are only a few Aposematic **Gounia**, most of which are either foul-smelling or aggressive or both.

While for Albinaelectriamatism, 20% out of the 50% that keep their electric abilities are Albinaelectriamatic, the second least Albinaelectriamatic class of Septempollicema.

## Intelligence

When it comes to intelligents, **Gounia** are very smart. On Earth, Mammals are the smartest animals, with birds being second place. On Hume III, **Gounia** and Dirds are tie for 1st place, along with a few other classes.

Mammals on Earth can be divided into two types of smart, monotremes and marsupials are considered the dumb mammals, and placental mammals are considered the smart mammals, monotremes and marsupials are just underneath Birds, but above crocodilians maybe, some people would argue that crocodilians are smarter than marsupials, but that's up to debate.

**Gounia** are also divided in a similar way when it comes to intelligence.

Monotremia have crocodilian levels of intelligence.

Duotremia have marsupial levels of intelligence.

Migalouchia has modern fish levels of intelligence.

Galouchia has bird levels of intelligence.

Puersinum has placental mammal levels of intelligence.

Nonlaca has placental mammal levels of intelligence.

Matrislaca has near human levels of intelligence.

Parenteslaca has placental mammal levels of intelligence.

So basically the split is Mollisshelledovumstratis are considered dumb **Gounia**, Shelledovumdurumstratis are considered average levels of intelligence **Gounia**, and Vivamuspeperitrariinoxiorum are considered the smart **Gounia**. Matrislaca and Parenteslaca would even give rise to two of the five intelligent races on Hume III.

## Anatomy

In a way their Anatomy is very similar to mammals, but with a few major differences, one for example is, all mammals have mammary glands, which produce milk, it's where mammalia gets its name, while **Gounia** only has two groups that produce milk. Unlike mammals, Gounies depend entirely on their lungs for respiration. Gounies do not have a diaphragm like mammals do, instead, their chest muscles move the chest wall, which inflates and deflates the lungs. A few Gounie species use their throat muscles to “gulp” air in a process called buccal pumping (a process also used by Froggers and some Raptiles). Modern mammals are unique among vertebrates for possessing three tiny bones in the middle ear. The malleus, incus and stapes (commonly known as the hammer, anvil and stirrup) work as part of a chain that transmits sound towards the skull. Birds and reptiles have only one bone to perform this function. You (and all living mammals) have one bone in your jaw and three bones inside your ear. Lizards, on the other hand, have many bones in their jaw and one bone inside their ears. Gounia have only one bone in their jaw and only one bone in their ear.

Their head is where their brain is kept, and it controls the central nervous system, which controls the whole body. Most have eyes stalks that are retractable, some clades have reduced the stalks and lose the ability to retract them, and some have forgone the stalks, and some species that fill out the same ecological niche as a mole have almost lost their eyes entirely. How good their eyesight is depends on the Clade. Although **Gounian vision** is not so excellent as Dird **vision**, it is at least dichromatic for most of **Gounian** species, with certain families (such as Kercopithecidae) possessing a trichromatic color perception. Some clades only see in black and white and others can only see in black and white with a few colors sprinkled in just like a dog or a cat. Unlike Mammals, earlier clades of **Gounia** had a parietal eye, some species still have it today, but only a few, and they lose it as they get older. They use thier whisacles to smell, how good their senes of smell is depends on the clade and the size of the whisacles, bigger whisacles can pick up more smells from farther away, while smaller whisacles can't pick up smells from as far away. Most clades have teeth, and all Gounies have tongues. What their teeth look like depends on what they eat, all **Gounia** have teeth that look different from each other, and all have a different purposes. They can all taste, what they are able to taste depends on the clade. Most Gounies have normal tongues, some have Prehensile tongues, and some have long anteater-like tongues for eating Hume Ants and other Hume Bugs. How good their hearing is depends on the clade, they all have external ears, any Gounies not under Auricula only have external ear holes and not earlobes.

Their bodys usually consists of a furry skin covering, six legs with seven toes, a tail, external genitalia, and a anal opening.

The skin of most Gounia is covering of wur, but some species have either reduced or lost their wur. Most Gounies have six legs with seven toes, some clades walk, run, and jump, on all six legs, others have repurposed the front pair of legs into grabbing arms to grab high tree branches, or grab a hold of the prey, or even reach down into burrows to grab small prey or even eggs, and Walk, and Run, and Jump on only four legs, some clades have done this with the first two sets of legs only leaving them two legs to walk, run, and jump on. Now in some clades, they have reduced, or completely lost the middle pair of legs, either by simply reducing them till they were no more, or some kind of weird biological glitch where they got deleted, or fusion with either the front or back pair of legs. Some clades lost the middle pair of Limbs, some lost the front pair of Limbs, and some have lost the back pair of Limbs, many clades have convergently evolved only four legs independently of each other in many different ways, and rather strangely one clade has evolved the middle pair of Limbs into a set of arms. That clade is  Brachodelfinia. The Clade: Thalassia has evolved the legs into fins. Some of the clades that have arms have also evolved the toes into fingers, and one clade has even evolved an opposable thumb, that clade is Antithetoianticheires. Most still have tails, the tail has only been lost a few times, the ones that maintain the tails use them for balance, some can use them as a whip for self-defense, some have evolved spikes on the end of their tail, and in the water the tails can be used to help swim, and a small few of them have prehensile tails.

Almost all Gounies have external genitalia, only the Order Unitremes has a cloaca. The rest of **Gounia** have external genitalia, some have a prehensile penis.

In the more advanced ailens, there are usually 10 organ systems: integumentary (skin), skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine (hormonal), digestive, respiratory, circulatory, excretory (urinary), and reproductive. For an overview of these systems in Aununa, see Aununa anatomy. They also three organs that produces electricity, but some have reduced them or lost them.
