kelpoon

Kelpoon is a fictional creature that appears in the online role-playing game "Aethelgard." These beings are depicted as small, agile, mammalian quadrupeds with distinctive luminescent markings that glow in low-light conditions. Their fur is typically a muted earth tone, providing camouflage within their natural habitat, which is described as dense, ancient forests and cavernous underground systems.

Physically, kelpoons are characterized by their large, sensitive ears and a prehensile tail, which they use for balance and for manipulating small objects. Their diet consists primarily of insects, fungi, and berries found in their environment. Kelpoons are known for their shy and elusive nature, rarely interacting with other species, including the player characters in Aethelgard.

In the game's lore, kelpoons are considered to be highly attuned to the magical energies present in the world. This connection is believed to be the source of their bioluminescence and their uncanny ability to navigate through treacherous terrain. While not directly hostile, they will flee from perceived threats. Some in-game quests involve observing kelpoons or collecting rare luminescent spores that they are known to cultivate. Their population is thought to be stable, though their secretive habits make accurate population studies difficult within the game's narrative.
