Kepps are shy creatures who have many mammalian attributes, including fur and live birth, but are cold blooded. They store heat in their fluffy tails so that when temperatures drop they still have the capability to move somewhere warmer. However, they are slow and vulnerable during this time, and the heat supply is not unlimited. After being exposed to harsh winter conditions which proved survival difficult, they found refuge with humans in their warm homes. Kepps range from the size of a house-cat to a lynx and are characterized by the rings in their eyes, which have no pupils but are still very sharp. They see best at dusk and dawn and love watching the sun rise and set.

Look! More edits! This beb was loosely inspired by this (don't ask idek).

Edits include: tail edit, gills

To win it, tell me a story about its visit to the beach and what it found there.

beach story (max 250 words):
It was finally getting dark enough for Nerio to see, so he began his trek down to the secluded shore by the cliffs. He had gone there every night to treasure hunt. The little Kepp had heard that ships had been lost at sea, and that their treasures would wash up once in awhile on beaches and that those who found them often kept them. He had a strange attraction to little trinkets that sparkled in the afterglow of the sun's haze and had made it a goal to collect as much of anything that shined or sparkled as he could.
Climbing down with leaps and bounds, he lithely bounded across the soft white sands to the place where the ocean met the land. There, he let his little feet feel the ocean waves and took a deep breath. He felt lucky tonight, and as fate would have it he would get lucky. At first, it seemed like it would be a night like any other, but he noticed out of the corner of his eye a big animal- a dolphin! Those were good luck for sailors. It seemed to be splashing towards him, pushing something forward with its fins...then, he saw it- a seemingly flawless silver chain adorned with a single, rosy pearl in the center. As if it were a gift, the dolphin smacked it his way and left. Nerio took the opportunity to carefully grab the chain and bound back home, happy to finally start his collection.

beach story (max 250 words):
Pearl and her family used to live in a little oasis in the desert but one day their mom decided they should visit her home village which was by a long coastal area. Pearl heard her mom's stories about this place and always imagined what it would look like to see so much water like that. Theyarrived to her mom's old house and it was right on the beach and Pearls jaw just dropped, she never seen anything like this other than books andwhat her own imagination could come up with buy they were nothing compared to this. After they unpacked and got settled in their grandparents house they all walked down to the beach.
The sand here was much softer and less hot then in the desert, the birds where different and the smell of salt water was all she could smell an she LOVED IT! She went fishing with her grandpa, swimming with her mom, built a sand castle with her dad but her favorite part was collecting seashells with her grandma. she loves the look of all the different shells and the beautiful colors. She collected tons which she used to decorate her father's and hers sandcastle but she kept one, a giant conch shell that was mostly while with pale pink on the inside which she took home with her when they left.
An to this day the very same shell sits on her nightstand as a reminder of her time at the beach..
