Located in the depths of the Pacific Ocean, lies a small crevice, containing an orb-like observatory center. The center is a hundred feet tall, and a hundred feet wide. It contains four stories, and has mostly windows around the walls. This center is used to study an ancient, nearly extinct creatures called Swifo. People come and go through the observatory every five years, to ensure that new information on the species is known. The researchers generally use submarines to track the Swifo pods, tranquilizing some and bringing them to the observatory center to study. The swifo find this a threat, and they generally use echolocation to avoid the researchers. This usually works, but on some occasions, the researchers bring in Swifo for study.
The Swifo that they caught are taken from the cage they were in, and put into a pool for studying. The chlorintined Swifo are then released into the holding chambers, awaiting for adoption.
Swifo are generally four feet tall to ten feet tall, weighing in from 30lbs. to 200lbs. They have variety of colors and markings, the darkest ones are more uncommon, while the brighter, more lighter ones are common. Albinos are rare. The males are typically bright-colored, but girls and guys can have light or dark coloring. During mating, the male Swifo tend to sing melodies, wooing the female to their side. If the male wins, they get to reproduce with the wooed female, while the looser has to seek another pod.
The females usually have little battles between other females, too, but all they do is hum or dance to their pod's song. A pod's song is generally chosen by the tone of echolocation they have, and all the pod members contribute to the melody, humming, chirping, or even growling, will produce their song. Each pod have a unique song, different from the rest. The songs are often heard by the young ones, so they will spread on the legacy and tradition of their ancestor's music.
to win this guy, name it, give it a gender and an history.
