The days grow old for me. Already, the bones in my joints feel like rusted gears and I doubt many of these creatures would refuse a free meal when I pass away. Especially the wild ones.
Ever since I was stuck on planet G3-O7-S837-P5, or Eidan as its inhabitants call her, my team was plucked away 1 by 1 until there was only four left, myself included.
It was only a stroke of luck that a sapient life form found us. They weren't like their feral cousins. They were smarter, wearing armor and cloth and understood that we weren't some animals in this land. They took us into their homeland.
We spent days learning about their language, and we taught them Western Germanic English in fair trade. We shared the fact that we lived on another world, told them of our human sciences and the like.
I am now the only one who remains.
Jordan was accosted by a xenophobic vanguard knight. Part of his body now drifts in the ocean, and the vanguard responsible was given a life of imprisonment.
Pedro suffered from an infection. He died in his sleep.
And poor Jaed. I don't know where she had gone, but I fear the worst. She could be drugged and brainwashed to be a slave. Eaten alive or cooked. I must not explore such ideas. Even though it was a long time ago, I still wish her well.
Now I am 97 and waiting in my death bed. I have instructed the others about how my body is to be handled with the will I made. The royalty classes that I have befriended has agreed to place my body in a wooden casket and bury me in the royal garden.
I send this transmission in hopes that humanity not only makes peace with other alien species, but also with their neighbors, their family, and their friends.
~Harry.

DESCRIPTION
They are a furred, mostly mammal species that have cat ears, but their skulls are more rounded/serpent like. Their jaws open up to swallow prey several times their own size, and have fangs that are venomous. Strangely enough, their venom induces sleep. Those that have this venom injected into them would fall to sleep slowly over time. The venom is temporary and non-fatal, wearing off after sleeping, or by cardio exercises. The venom they make can numb prey for hours, enabling them the satisfying luxury of ingesting live prey. Though they have incisors that is capable to scissor meat into strips or tear off chunks, the species is an overall opportunistic feeder. Some can be strict vegetarians.
The maxeuchiro body is long like a snake, and very flexible. They have six limbs able to be used as a leg or an arm, with their hind limbs stronger than their mid limbs, and their mid limbs stronger than their fore limbs. They can be sextupeds, quadrupeds, or bipeds, giving them different travel speeds or increased combat effectiveness. Their paws are dextrous, but hide razor sharp claws, useful for carving meat or wood. Their tails are long and snake-like but is more used for support, coiling, grabbing, running, and lashing. They have very stretchy skin, useful for eating large prey or pulling it out to turn into kites and glide, like a flying squirrel. But with practice, they can achieve flight with warm updrafts.
There are many types of coat coloration and patterns that the maxeuchiro have, each determined to what kind of environment they are more accustomed to. The hair colors range from black, grey, white, brown, yellow, orange, red, and the uncommon pink. The pattern determines the type of biome that they were laid in as an egg.
Maxeuchiro which were laid in a fertile environment have a high chance to be hatched with a ruffled coat. Striped coats are likely to occur in wet environments. Freckled coats often hatch in barren environments. Calico coats, often called 'patch' coats, often hatch in dry environments. The amount of fur they have tell-tales the temperature they are most comfortable in, but tends to be variable, and fur pattern combinations are likely to occur when in a biome that combines different criteria. Like being in a wet and fertile environment or a dry and fertile environment; stripy ruffled and patchy ruffled respectively. Hatching in a biome with an even temperature and/or moderate fertile environment can create unique fur pattern combinations, such as a freckly ruffled and patchy striped. Maxeuchiro who were born with plain coats are uncommon. Fur pattern classification is usually determined by the most dominant pattern.

Note: plain coats have a solid coloration, which may make it difficult for them to hunt in the wild since having a fur pattern helps camouflage themselves from the weary or attentive eyes of potential prey. But having pink fur with any of the common fur patterns can prove difficult in hunting too. Having a rare plain pink fur coat is a burdening curse in a pretty disguise. Oddly, plain pink maxeuchiros are highly worshiped.
The females are two times bigger than the males, represents 60% of the population, and is also the gender that have pouches. The pouch opens as a vertical slit over their prominent breasts, and extends all the way to their hind limbs. They need a big pouch to store a huge litter. Females can also reach an average length of 30 feet from snout to tail. The females are ovipositors, able to lay eggs to an average clutch of 15-20. The eggs are soft shelled yet smooth. Oval shaped, and about the size of a golf ball. The perfect shape and size for when they need to care for their eggs either in a safe nest, or in their pouches. Once the litter hatches, they would seek out the mothers teats, having 50 of such, two of which being on the prominent breasts. Once the females reach sexual maturity, they produce milk.
BREEDING
The species is a matriarchy and female dominant, though harems would occasionally form. Harems are a very necessary part of their reproductive processes.
When the breeding season comes, the males would build a big nest for the female/s, usually made of wood, stone, animal bones, or other sorts of objects that they think would look good. On the first day of the breeding season, the females would make their breeding calls, telling the males to get ready. The female mating call is a low, deep, guttural growl that resonates many miles. Other females within the area would hear the female mating call, and in response would make their own calls. An entire region would seem to rumble as loud as a small earthquake.
In the next several days, the males would then make their breeding calls to attract the females. Their calls is a complete contrast compared to the females, making short, high pitched 'yip' noises. The male mating call has a smaller range compared to the female mating call, yet evolution would suggest that it was designed in a way that females would have to search for their mates to copulate. During breeding season, should any two females meet, they would fight for the right to breed with a male. Though two males fighting during mating season is rare, it only ever occurs if a male abandons his nest; is chased from their home; loses the right to his nest and his lost territory and is seeking for a new one. Two males living with one another is not ideal, since both will often quarrel with one another. It can even develop into a fatal violence.
Once a female enters a males home, he would entice her to stay with him. To do this, he would hunt for a prize to offer to his future mate. He would dance around his mate as she eats, doing his best so she would notice him. Should he fail, the female would move on. But if she is interested, she would pull open her pouch entrance. Her prominent breasts would spill out, which is a way of showing him her admiration and mating fondness. It is then by her decision that she would let him mate with her vaginal orifice, locted behind the rear limbs and below the base of her tail.
Their mating season lasts for one Earth month. The male would bond with the female by hunting food for her as she tends to her eggs. After a good offering of food, she allows him the privilege of mating again, or for some cuddling activity. He would breed, play, groom, suckle on her nipples, or nap inside her pouch. Soft physical contact is often a means to strengthen his bond with her, and is also a means for her to strengthen her bond with him also.
When the eggs are ready to lay, the female makes a nest for the eggs or simply deposits them in her pouch, via pushing her butt into her pouch and laying her soft shelled eggs through this method. The female would tend to the eggs, while the male would hunt and bring back food. But should the eggs be in danger, the mother would move them into her pouch and retreat to somewhere safe. Unfortunately, once the mother has laid her eggs, the male is no longer allowed into her pouch since nipple sensitivity increases at and after egg laying. After a month, the eggs would hatch and the kits/joeys would suckle on the mothers many available teats.
After 20 months, the kits would grow big enough to leave their parents. After that, the mother and father may decide to part ways, or stay together.
But this process above can only yield a pure female generation. In order to produce male kits/joeys, having a harem is necessary.
A harem can occur when a female decides not to kill or chase off the other females that competes for the right to breed with a male. Instead, the victor would pin the loser to the ground and growl at her. Once this happens, the victor becomes a queen and the loser becomes a servant. The lucky male becomes a king. A harem can have an average of 2-30 females and 1 male, though there is no maximum limit. The servants can hunt food with the king to provide food for everyone in the nest, or serve the queen by accepting the care of a clutch of eggs, to raise and teach the kits as a parental babysitter. However, when kits/joeys are raised by a servant, the kits/joeys develop into males.
All kits/joeys are born without a gender. Only on the first few days of hatching, nursing from a mother or a servant determines the growth of their puberty. Hermaphrodites are considered rare amongst the maxeuchiro, but can occur when a kit/joey isn't fed by mothers milk or servants milk. Oddly enough, when a kit/joey drinks both types of milk, they develop into males that are 30 feet long. Sadly, these are prone to suffer from sterility. They compensate by a natural evolutionary mutation that increases their muscle strength and natural healing, yet are often used and exploited to protect a hive. These types of males are called drones.
INSTANCES
The maxeuchiro species seem to exist in three types of instances.
1: The home planet they call 'Eidan'. It is nothing more but one super continent. Its surface is covered in 51% water, and 49% of the land comes from giant turtles that lay their eggs ashore and die inland. Much of the hilly land is made up of sea sediment collected on the back of these creatures, and many islands can be found in the ocean. The only fresh source of water comes from rain, which drains into the massive tunnel networks dug by feral maxeuchiros and other burrowing animals, eventually going back into the ocean.
2: A place that exists outside of time and space that the maxeuchiros go to learn magic. It's a very exclusive place that very few ever get the chance to visit. Some maxeuchiros have learned the ability of being able to travel to and from this place, some even found the means of teleporting from one planet to the next using this dimension. This place was given the heavily revered name 'High Nebula'.
3: A place that is a secret to others, but is simply referred as 'the underground' in hushed whispers. It's a place where many may enter, and very few ever leave. It's a place where technology can be created and analyzed, and where specimens are tested on, or worse. It is considered the safest place in the three instances, as well as the most dangerous. It was rumored that after a sample of DNA was analyzed, trained maxeuchiros patrol and protect this highly guarded underground militaristic secret base. They seem to own it now. It happens to be the main source of technological/thaumaturgical/biological development for the species.
COMBAT CLASSES
Carrier: Their role is to carry supplies with great speed. They make excellent scouts and messengers during wartime. They can also be merchants that supplies rations and resources in suffering territories.
Mage: They specialize in wielding the elements and manipulating the natural energies through wands, staffs, tomes, glyphs, and crystal balls. They use powerful charms to augment their already potent thaumaturgy.
Vangaurd: They are the military, police, judges, juries, and executioners. Perfect warriors trained to fight with efficiency, grace, power, valor, and justice. They mostly specialize in using melee weapons.
Mystic: They grow crops and livestock for a population. They also make herbs for medicine, perform first aid, and have great animal magnetism. In fact, they have the uncanny power to summon rain when the land needs it.
Crafter: They take any resource and turn it into something useful, be it for home or for combat. Furniture, tools, weapons, armor, items, buildings, you name it. Much of their services require a cost of currency however.
Scientist: They are pioneers of science, doing what they can to analyze every detail of information and making things better. Or sometimes disastrous. They get a lot of bad reputation sometimes.
Leader: They take charge, listen to the people, and find ways to solve problems using nothing but brainpower and ingenuity. Or asking/ordering people to do actions for them.
Hierarch: Quite technically a much more higher rank of leader, but reserved for royalty. It is a class that plain pink maxeuchiros are often traditionally assigned to.
DISCOVERED FACTS
•A special tree grows on their home world. This plant is called a 'Velvet pitcher tree', which specializes in collecting rainwater from pitcher shaped leaves and grows 8 feet a year growing to the maximum height of 1,000 feet. Maxeuchiro are known to make their homes in the branches. The trees produce velvet fruit, which can be prepared in many ways and can be eaten raw or cooked, being a main staple to their diet. The fruit have a hard, brittle skin but contains a sweet red jelly ambrosia within. The seeds produced from the fruit are often used to plant more trees or used as feed for seed eating livestock. Sadly, velvet pitcher spiders hide in this fruit. The only way to tell if a spider is in the fruit is to weigh it.
•They have four types of martial art styles, that are called 'stances'. Each of these stances grants them certain types of advantages and disadvantages. 'Slither stance' enables them to crawl around on their belly very slowly, but can strike fast. 'Sprint stance' is a high speed stance, using all six limbs for quick strikes and fast movement to take down their prey. 'Hoof stance' is essentially a defensive stance, with average speed and attack. 'Talon stance' is a very offensive stance, using both forepaws and midpaws with their strikes, as well as deafening stomp attacks and wide tail whipping strikes.
•They have unique personal names structured around familial lineage. An example name: Sam Blaga Darfy Jammay Ipso Facto Boobgrope. (I know it's a silly name, bear with me.) 'Sam' is the first name given by the parents. 'Blaga' is the first name of the father that becomes Sam's second name. 'Darfy' is the first name of the mother that becomes Sam's third name. 'Jammay' is the first name of the servant that nursed Sam, and boys traditionally have the first names of the servant that nursed them as their fourth name. 'Ipso' is the surname of the father, and 'Facto' is the surname of the mother. 'Boobgrope' is nothing more but a title gained from deep meditation, achieved after a quest, or a popular nickname that everyone calls him perhaps after some incident of sorts.
•Three types of hierarchs seem to govern the maxeuchiro civil societies. One of the hierarchs belongs to a female position, named 'the Queen/Princess/Empress of heart'. She is tasked with balancing the economy and managing the population. The male position, called 'the King/Prince/Emperor of strength', often focuses on law, defense, and military management. The last type of hierarch is for any gender, called 'the Chancellor/Overseer/Esquire of mind'. Not much is known on what the mind hierarchs do.
•They have a sub class of carriers called a 'water toter', which is an occupation that is similar to a firefighter. They put out fires with sea water, and collect fresh water using huge funnels made of metal or wood to acquire as much rain as they can, and use wheeled tanks to carry it away to specialized warehouses.
•They have a unique gastrointestinal tract, containing a crop stomach, a digestive stomach, and a tightly knit intestine that forms between the digestive stomach and anus, referred as its intestinal sack. Unlike humans who produce solid waste, maxeuchiro's produce a foul black slurry.
•They have black blood. Studies show that their blood contains silver instead of iron.
