Treeckos

Treeckos are a fictional species of arboreal reptiles originating from the planet Xylos. They are characterized by their emerald green scales, which provide excellent camouflage within the dense Xylosian forests. Treeckos possess prehensile tails and specialized toe pads that allow them to climb and navigate the towering flora of their homeworld with remarkable agility. Their diet consists primarily of Xylosian insects and small fruits.

These creatures are known for their solitary nature, typically only interacting during the brief mating season. Treeckos are oviparous, laying clutches of leathery eggs in hollowed-out tree trunks. The young are independent from birth, relying on instinct to survive. Despite their small size, usually around 30 centimeters in length, Treeckos are known to be territorial, defending their chosen branches from rivals.

Ecologically, Treeckos play a role in controlling insect populations on Xylos. Their primary predators include larger avian species and agile ground-dwelling mammals. While not considered intelligent by human standards, they exhibit complex behaviors related to foraging, nesting, and predator avoidance. No known domesticated or widely traded Treecko populations exist outside of Xylos. Their lifecycle is relatively short, with individuals rarely exceeding five Xylosian years.
