通称:沙蛾
物种:荒漠毒蛾
时代:全新纪
食性:食草
性情:逃避型
野生
像它较小的近亲一样,荒漠毒蛾通过吸取植物和蔬菜的营养来生存。鉴于该地区的荒凉,这使得它的选择相当有限,但幸运的是,它和沙漠植物的关系是共生的。除了给它们授粉之外,它释放的孢子还有助于滋养严酷的沙漠植物。 遭到袭击时,移动缓慢的沙蛾会立刻向空中飞去,几乎直线爬升,同时喷吐孢子。虽然这种孢子对大多数植物都有营养,但它们对大多数动物都是有害的。
家养
荒漠毒蛾被用于单人飞行坐骑,但是因为它飞行速度太慢了,它生产的丝与孢子被人们认为比飞行更重要。 它的丝可以编织成布,它的孢子聚集了肥料或毒液。它的可取之处是其在飞行过程中喷吐孢子的能力,这就让它成为了一个原始的轰炸机。
Common name: Desert Moth
Species: Lymantria sporarmis
Time: Holocene
Diet: Herbivore
Temperament: Evasive
Wild
Like its smaller relatives, Lymantria sporarmis survives by draining plants and vegetables of their nutrients. Given desolate nature of the region, that makes its options rather limited, but fortunately its relationship with the desert’s plants is symbiotic. In addition to pollinating them, the spores it releases help nourish the harsh desert plants. When attacked, the slow-moving Lymantria immediately takes to the air and flies almost straight up while releasing spores. While the spores are nutritious to most plants, they are highly poisonous to most other organisms.
Domesticated
Lymantria is occasionally used as a one man flying mount, but its ability to produce silk and spores is often considered more valuable due to its slow flight speed. Its silk can be weaved into heat-dispersing cloth, and its spores gathered for fertilizer or poison. Its saving grace as a mount is its ability to release spores mid flight, allowing it to act as a primitive bomber during sieges.
