DAILO LORE
PRONUNCIATION
"Dailo" is pronounced Day-Low. Plural is "Dailos" or Day-Lows. More than one Dailo in a group is named a Pack. Infant Dailos are called hatchlings.
BASIC INFORMATION
Dailo lizards are small dinosaur-esque reptiles, many only tend to grow about 2 feet in height. Dailos are purely carnivorous and strangely prefer cooked meat. Once great predators in wooded areas they have adapted to have two strong toes on their front feet, and three large flat toes on their back feet. Scientist research has shown their feet to be great at both climbing and noise reduction. Dailos have long since been domesticated, but their hunting habits relied on stealth and a strong bite. Dailo lizards are not capable of noise above a soft hiss.
BEHAVIORAL STRUCTURE
Dailos Lizards have a pack-based structure, and have a tight nit family unit. Each pack has 1 alpha, be it an alpha female or an alpha male. Alphas look extremely different than a Sub [Normal] Dailo. Sub Dailos are more common than alphas. Sub Dailos can maintain a pack without an alpha, but run the risk of being run off territory due to the lack of an Alpha in the pack.
MATING HABITS
Alpha Class Dailos are unable to breed, and therefore cannot produce offspring. Sub dailos make up the heart of the pack, and alphas are there for structural support. Sub dailos are unable to breed with the same gender (unless human intervention is used). When 2 dailos breed the male creates an elaborate nest and keeps it warm until the female is ready to lay. The female will lay 3 eggs. the male will bring food for the female until the eggs are hatched. A first-time dailo couple will have a 40% hatch rate for each of the eggs. Some eggs will not hatch. A seasoned couple will have an increased hatch rate depending on how many eggs hatch from the batch. An aged dailo that has been through the routine over a long period of time can usually incubate and maintain all 3 eggs and get them to hatch. Baby dailos grow extremely fast due to pack nurturing and can age in a matter of days.
