Description

An Alien creature from the Avatar Movies. It's the pandora equivalent of Monkeys. ## Personality Gender: Male or Female Age: Varies Appearance: The prolemuris can reach up to one and a half meters in height. It has large eyes with binocular vision, an apelike skull with a short snout, small nostrils, a jaw, and needle-sharp teeth that are adapted to cut through tough Pandoran flora. The prolemuris's ears are erect flaps that can move independently of one another in order to track sounds precisely. Unlike other Pandoran animals, however, the prolemuris has only a single neural queue, no secondary set of eyes, and no operculi in their chests. Most intriguingly, while they do have two pairs of arms - making for six limbs, along with their legs - the upper arms are partially fused together. From the shoulder to the elbow, corresponding to the human humerus, the prolemeris has only one large arm, but at the elbow it bifurcates into two separate forearms. The reason for this may be due to the added strength it gives for climbing, and also gliding. This apparently represents a transitional evolutionary step between the other six-limbed large animals of Pandora and the four-limbed Na'vi. Its toes are webbed and have a vestigial thumb that helps the animal cling to branches. The prolemuris has lateral membranes that grow out of its sides and between its lower arm and thigh. When it leaps from tree to tree, the wind catches in these membrane flaps and slows the animal's rate of fall. This allows the animal to fall for more than twelve meters without risk or injury. The prolemuris have hollow bones, and the density of their musculature and flesh is also porous, which makes them much lighter than they appear. Even the largest prolemuris weigh less than six kilograms. Personality: They dwell in the trees in large tribal groups, and although there are some violent intertribal contests to establish hierarchy, there is little battle between tribes. They are highly social, although they do not care for their young as avidly or carefully as Terran chimpanzees. Still, the prolemuris is a diligent and effective breeder, with the female coming into mating season three times a year. Their mating habits are similar to some species of Terran apes, including the now-extinct gorilla, Hamadryas baboon and the howler monkey (along with several human cultures as well). An alpha male prolemuris will mate with several females concurrently and assist with the child rearing for each offspring. But this polygynous arrangement is by no means an indication of male dominance. Indeed, it is believed that prolemuris social structure is largely matriarchal, with the female clearly in charge of the mate selection process Height: 1.5 meters (5 feet) Weight: no more than 14 lb (6 kg) Prolemuris cannot speak
