Description

So here we finally have the big reveal of the revamped Hadean Man of War, which is now named the Gelkolo. This Gelkolo in particular is named U'Herfuoi, who is a closing-into-Middle Age individual and is one of the main characters of my little story. More about him later.

For now, we'll focus on the species as a whole. Now I've already talked a bit about their history in a journal entry, but the Gelkolo evolved in the thick fungal forests the reside in Jackson's Basin. Due to this, Gelkolo would be considered a semi arboreal species, being at home both on the ground and in the branches. This is considered quite astonishing because the Gelkolo weigh 500 pounds. But despite their weight, the Cerebrodominanda maneuver the forest with relative ease. The best earth analogue to explain their ease with both forms of travel are the gorillas, which can traverse quite a distance on foot and via climbing. That being said, most people compare the gait Gelkolo's walk in as comparable to a six-legged tiger.

Gelkolo's mentality is difficult to assess. At first glance, their society seems to be significantly more violent than ours, leading to the belief that the entire species is vicious as a whole: Wars between city states are fairly common, nation states consume many independent areas with vicious speed, and murder, slavery, burning and dismemberment are common forms of punishment for what we would consider petty crimes. But if one thinks how our own civilizations were during the Middle Ages, we can see that the brutality the Gelkolos implement are not so alien to us.

Unfortunately I have to go, so I have to write the rest later.

EDIT: Resized the Gelkolo. It is now much smaller, in order to make it more probable that it can climb trees.
