Joenuomia

Joenuomia is a fictional taxonomic term used in speculative biology and worldbuilding to designate a small mammal genus. It is not recognized by real-world scientific nomenclature and has no standing outside fictional or instructional contexts.

Typically, Joenuomia is depicted as a small, nocturnal mammal with a slender body, dense fur, and an elongated snout. Several worldbuilding variants grant it semi-arboreal tendencies or even gliding abilities through lightweight membranes, reflecting common speculative-biology motifs. Other depictions emphasize terrestrial habits and insectivorous or omnivorous diets.

There is no formal consensus; placement varies by author, sometimes treated as a distant relative of certain carnivorans or as a basal eutherian proxy in fictional phylogenies.

In fiction, its range includes tropical forests, temperate woodlands, and montane environments. It is usually described as nocturnal and insectivorous, with occasional fruit consumption, and it is often portrayed as secretive and elusive; social behavior ranges from solitary to small family groups.

Joenuomia originated in speculative-fiction circles and online worldbuilding communities, where it is used to explore evolutionary scenarios, character design, and phylogenetic debates within a fictional ecosystem.

Because Joenuomia is a fictional construct, available information derives from creative works, fan wikis, and educational exercises in speculative biology rather than from formal scientific sources.
