Information: A large and rather fat rodent that eats nine months out of the year. During the three that it doesn’t eat, it burns off the fat as food. This unusual cycle is controlled by the temperature of the planet, which is already cold as it is. It eats in order to maintain enough energy to keep its blood warm. It also eats because during those nine months is the only time flora is able to bloom and spawn due to the harsh environment. During the coldest months of the planet’s yearly cycle, it apparently shivers so intensely that it is undetectable to the naked eye. No plants are produced, so it has to rely on its body fat to survive.
Its been observed that several juveniles will die during this time due to not having enough fat. It’s believed that this leaves a psychological scar on any siblings, as surviving brothers and sisters will eat in greater quantity the following season.
