Skalanka is a compact yet intrepid Water-type Creo that seeks out the largest waves it can find.

Skalanka become quite docile when tamed by humans and are sometimes used as living mini-rafts to cross rivers and streams despite their small size.

Biology

Skalanka has a rounded shell and a blunt-looking yellow bill that masks a razor-sharp tip. Its underbelly and back flippers are yellow, while its head, neck, front flippers, and tail are a bright sky blue. Glands beneath the plumage that coats parts of its body produce a natural oil that repels water, which keeps Skalanka from becoming a sodden mass of feathers when tossed in a stormy sea.

Skalanka have an instinctual knowledge of ocean currents and marine weather patterns. By necessity, they are expert swimmers from birth. They either float and paddle using their webbed back feet or dive deep with strong front flippers.

Skalanka's diet consists mainly of small fish, which they spear with precise strikes of their sharp bill. Their ability to breathe underwater allows them to hunt and travel beneath the waves for extended periods. They communicate nonverbally using subtle movements of their plumed tails.

Skalanka have a lifespan of up to 32 years. Juveniles latch onto adult shells using the suction-cups on the underside of their flippers.

Skalanka are exceptional navigators. While they can be found both along coastlines and in the open sea, they deliberately favor regions where cold currents and violent weather create massive waves. They dread calm waters and gravitate toward turbulence, seeking the largest swells to ride. In extreme conditions, they can withdraw fully into their shells, protecting their head and limbs from being bashed against sharp rocks and turbulent shoals.

Skalanka travel in loosely defined bands composed of both adults and young. They lay eggs on shore but do not raise their biological offspring. Instead, hatchlings find their way to the sea, at which point older Skalanka allow juveniles to latch onto their shells in chains of up to ten.

Description

Sailing the ocean in hopes of riding the largest waves, Skalanka adventurously heads towards the largest storms to find them.
