Hailing from the forest world Ganlihk, the ludos is an inoffensive creature typically found in abundance in the rivers and swamps of that planet. Its only known predators are the Ganlihk rippers and several types of carnivorous fish indigenous to that world. The ludos diet consists primarily of fish and fruit. It prefers to bask for long hours in the treetops, coming down in the coolness of the early morning hours to feed on the remnants left by other predators. When fish are not available it will opt to forage among the various fruit trees native to Ganlihk wetlands.
Ludos communicate with others of their kind through a set of trilling vocalizations which are known to have a soothing effect on Humanoid nervous systems. For this reason, ludos have often been trapped and sold as pets throughout the Ganlihk system. The novelty of their naturally occurring bioluminescence and their docility enhance their trade value. |
