View source for Monkopod

{{Creo}}

Monkopod are small, playful [[Nature]]-type [[Creo]] known for their sweet and playful disposition.

In the wild, Monkopod cling to the comfort of other Monkopod, but those who have been acclimated to human contact openly show affection to the humans in their lives by rubbing against their legs.

Their nutrient-rich dung promotes the healthy growth of all kinds of vegetation, which has encouraged humans to collect it and use it as fertilizer.

== Biology ==
Despite being a reptilian shade of lime green, Monkopod skin is soft, and their fur feels much like moss. Their stout legs are not conducive to high running speeds, and they use their tail to accelerate when rolling so that they do not solely rely on gravity to pull them down.

Monkopod possess sophisticated four-chambered stomachs that allow them to digest and extract nutrients from just about any plant matter, including twigs, woody stalks, tree trunks, and fallen logs. This, of course, requires partnership with their powerful jaws, which allow them to bite into these tough food sources.

The quality of the food determines how much of it Monkopod must eat. Under harsh winter or drought conditions, Monkopod, despite their small size, must eat multiple times their weight in sticks, bark, or wood.

Monkopod can roll into a ball-shape, like a pillbug, and roll downhill at speeds of up to 60 km/h. This ability began as a defense mechanism that enabled Monkopod to flee from danger, but since such threats no longer exist, it has given rise to the practice of racing with other Monkopod for enjoyment.

Naturally, Monkopod tend to live in hilly regions where the ground is cushioned with grass and other soft plants, and they prefer more temperate climates where green fodder is available most of the year. They cluster together in colonies and use racing to select leaders and resolve disputes in the rare event that they are unable to get along.
