Private Ecosystem of Pallaea

Pallaea
Located 3.27 light years away from the orange star classified as "Mirzam Threshold", in the goldilock zone of 2.89 L.Y. to 4.01 L.Y. is the self named planet "Pallaea".

Entering the atmosphere, the planets gravitational pull is slightly lighter than Earth, yet not noticeable enough to cause any sudden realizations for any former Earth dwellers, or any other goldilock zone planet occupants. The air is dry, the dirt cracks at every step, and the wind carries harsh, inhospitable hot air with sand that seems to strike with ferocity.

Vulture like creatures perch atop the tree branches, keeping cool and safe from the suns rays. They're large, with tanned and darker hued color schemes, their beaks being strong and resilient with bright orange colors, as if to warn others of their danger.

In the bowls of Pallaea, squirms and wiggles the giant earth worms that have become the underground kings. Their large size is a result of evolution, not where the smallest and biggest quantity win, but the larger and smaller quantity succeed. This is due to the insufficient food sources found underground, and worms forcing to adapt or be eradicated. The result, was large worms that can stretch over 5 meters long, and 1.5 meters wide. The worms are not direct fighters, they aren't capable of using their full muscle, torque, and leverage they have, however, they can 'smash' against walls, people, animals, and threats if provoked. They are suited for swallowing prey whole, than using their acidic secretions and sharp, contracting walls to cut, dig, and maim their food. If the suffocation doesn't kill you first, the sheer fear and shock will.

On land however, a different predator stomps about in large herds. Most similar to the per-historic Earth animals that are typically named in laymen terms the "Woolly mammoth". However, there's distinct differences that make them suitable for Pallaeas environment. Their skin is hard, durable, and almost similar to leather. This however is all callused skin, about 2-3 inches below it is pink, shiny, vulnerable skin that's just above their flesh. Their tusks are closer than a woolly mammoths, allowing them to more easily fight the smaller prey that they commonly defend themselves and their herd against. Large clumps of fur cloud their eyes, protecting them from the sun and sand storms.

Nocturnally, a different predator strikes at night. It follows a similar appearance to that of a lion from Earths former species, except it also has an extremely low count of fur, only protecting its paws and eyes. Its slightly reflective eyes are the only giveaway at night, and it leaps across the landscape at extreme speeds, capable of very easily tackling and mauling its prey. Their elusive nature, tackled with their nocturnal hunting patterns, makes them a worthy, scary, and ultimately the dominate predator on this planet; if it weren't for the Florans.​
