Originating from central Earth’s polar compression climate, the irapienyakka is a k9 species that has developed small legs and a long body over time. Usually a main food source for medium sized primates, they have genetically adapted to blending in with the Forrest floor. Not in terms of coat color as they’re known to have a wide variety of coloring. More in terms of how they manage to stay hidden under low branching foliage. The irapienyakka is an omnivore but due to their small mouth they’re not predatory. Most of their diet consists of bottom leaves and stalk chewing. Sometimes they will seek out rare fungi as a nutritional probiotic. Due to polar gravitational compression, they also have very flat organs and don’t require much food.

Irapienyakka is know to self medicate with mosses that grow in high humidity and low light environments.
