John Scerri

Creature Information:

To get an idea of its size the creature is as big, approximately, as an Alsatian; about 1.5m long excluding the tail and a 4m wing span.

Eats large fruit which he breaks which his powerful jaw. It lives in caves at night and in the morning it flies searching for food and leisure.

​

As long as it is flying or high up hanging on trees it is not in danger of being hunted, but it likes to stay near rocky lakes and waterfalls protected by tree line sun batting. Because of his size he is not able to maneuver very well among trees while flying, so it usually flies in areas where trees are far apart or high above them.

​

When it reaches the lake usually it stays drinking and occasionally swimming. It is not a problem if it swims since his skin is very slippery to be efficient in flight and aerodynamic, therefore water slips away immediately as soon as it gets out. If there is no where to land, sometimes it may land somewhere near and walk it to the lake but it will avoid the situation since it is very vulnerable and slow walking on the ground.

​

His favourite food is the Monstera Deliciose which is a poisonous tree accept for the fruit. The fruit is highly acidic which if you eat before ripe it will make your mouth bleed. But the creature stomach has evolved in such a way that he can withstand the acidity and eat the fruit whenever it likes. The taste of the fruit drives it crazy as it taste of a cross between a pineapple and a banana. When the fruit is ripe the creature becomes more greedy and sometimes they compete between each other over it. If the fruit is not available it will feed on the plant leaves and then search for a different fruit.

​

Because of the fact that the Monstera is poisonous and acidic its bite is also poisonous. As a creature it is very pacific but if cornered it will defend itself using his powerful jaw. Other creatures from experience know that its bite is poisonous and even that its meet is not edible because of all of the poison, so they also avoid it.

​

Usually you can find these creatures solitaire or as a couple, rarely as a group of more.
