11/23/2012: YoW, Rooblian Scholar
NAME: YoWokene  SPECIES: Rooblian  ORIGIN: Rooblix
Over 300 Dominion Standard years old, YoWokene (Yoh-Wo-Ke-Neh) has been to many worlds and seen many strange things. Dedicated to the act of categorizing and cataloging all he encounters, YoW has taken a break for the last 12 years to tutor the heir to the Calixa household, a job that has paid handsomely and allowed him to accrue a fortune of his own.

Day# 13 a Sqorthk: plant stage.
#13 a Sqorthk, by Jande Rowe
Adnirovjyni Sqorthk, Vegetable Phase: a vine-like animal that spends part of its life-cycle as a plant, used as a food source for the dominant sentient bear-like species known simply as (#12) Adnirovjyna.
During the vegetative stage, each vine becomes translucent and produces pebbled protrubances that can grow to be quite large. In the early stages these can be broken off and used as vegetables either cooked or raw, which contain starches, cellulose, vitamins and minerals conducive to the good nature and health of the indigenous sentient race of Adnirovjyn. It is a favourite item to be combined with other Adnirovjyni flora to produce a delicious frothy alcoholic beverage well loved by the native peoples which they call Frooshk.
Once the protuberances grow beyond a certain size they lose their translucence and by their own weight droop toward the ground. Here they remain inert for a period of weeks developing a hard knobbly shell –a cocoon of sorts you might say, which protects them from predators to a certain extent, though some have been known to find ingenious ways of cracking them open. It is within this shell that the plant-Sqorthk undergoes the unique transformation from plant to animal.
Next up #14 a Sqorthk in animal phase.
Enjoy!
