What are Kieikis? wrote:Affectionately named Kieikis after the small, dolphin like
"kee-kee" sounds they make, there are confusions as to the
species origins. Scientists though that these once mammal
species essentially 'went backwards' in the great
evolutionary times, and returned to the water rather than
further develop back on land. Others believe them to hold
'magical' properties, due to their rather flashy bodies, and
objects/other marine life that float or swim in their tails.
Regardless, Kieikis are sapient creatures here to stay,
maybe you can take one home?

Kieikis are aquatic omnivorous creatures, though their diet tends to rely mostly on fish, clams, oysters, and other marine life. Their favorite food though, by far, has become the pieces of chicken that people will throw to them, much like bread to ducks. Similarly, like ducks with bread, chicken is not quite good for them and is a lot like candy. Eating too much chicken, or duck, will cause your kieiki to be incredibly chunky!
Kieikis sizes vary slightly depending on conditions, though tend to stand (From paws to the tops of their heads) 3 feet tall, and are 6 feet long. Their arms and legs have become small and virtually useless in the water, their movement reliant on their long and graceful bodies. Their front paws however have evolved to be able to grip and pry apart their food, such as oysters and clams, their other prey such as fish are caught through their amazingly quick movements. While Kieikis do have the ability to travel onto land, they do not have the ability to live there happily and healthily, forever. In order to be kept as pets, they must mostly live within the water, only leaving to play for a few minutes or to sunbathe; be careful not to let them dry out!
Kieikis can be active at both day and night, depending on the kieiki's personal preferences, habits,
and conditions. All Kieikis, regardless of conditions or habits, are covered in hard crystal like spikes,
for their protection. They are quite colorful and flashy, frequently attracting predators, their spikes act as a defense as such. Their bodies are also covered frequently in aquatic flowers, patches of scales,
and their slightly see through tails are hosts to other living things. Within their bioluminescent tails,
will frequently live other marine life, though it is unknown if those fish are for storage during food shortages or for companionship.
Kieikis tend to live in large groups or pods, up to about 30 Kieikis have been spotted swimming and living together. Without a pod or group, Kieikis have been known to become very depressed and sluggish. Their days are mostly spent lying around and wiggling or shifting so that their crystal spines catch the sunlight, in an attempt to signal to other Kieikis.
