Pins
Pins are cat sized creatures that come from deep within the jungles surrounding the planet Gemini! These pins come in several different varieties, but to keep things simple for now there will only be one type of pin! (And due to a lack of me being able to sprite)

Biology
Pins are small woodland creatures that are nearly hollow on the inside, only making enough room for the small joints that give them the ability to move around and its digestive system. The head of each pin is a small seed that, if planted into the ground will grow up into a tree that looks very similar to that of a Maple Tree! After several years(Or by the power of Skipping time) these trees will soon bear Pins! Which will eventually struggle off of the branch it's attached to. Pins are made of mostly bark and very thin layers of oak wood, usually after growing on the tree for a long enough time, a leaf or two will sprout out of its head, signaling that the Pin is ready to be released so it can find food, and a place to bury itself after waiting for its life cycle to come near an end. Its body mass is a very light 15lbs. With all of this in mind, the Pins diet consists of vegetation and large amounts of small bacteria, Pins also need a water supply twice its size in order to survive, though it only needs to drink every three days. Pins take in food through their eye holes, easily being able to absorb liquids and eventually plants. Pins, or Koa's (Woodland Pins) can live up to 120 years.

Behaviour
Pins are very docile or peaceful creatures, though with the disadvantage of having very short attention spans. Pins when injured are much more likely to flight rather than fight due to their position on the food chain and general size. Pins despite their size, are very curious creatures that love to be around humanoids, especially florans. Pins have a chronicle fear of reptiles. Pins usually travel alone, but if a Pin finds another Pin they can easily become attached and wont leave eachothers side. Pins love to stack thigs, and are generally very artsy creatures!

Pros
+Its body is able to lift up things twice its own body mass.
+Able to climb up very steep walls if rigid enough. (So, not drywalls.)
+Faster than most creatures, being just below the speed of a floran when sprinting
+Due to how its body is structured, its very difficult to make a Pin fall to its death, able to withstand up to 40Ft drops before getting crushed to death, 30ft to 40ft will leave the Pin heavily injured and immobilized for a long period of time (3-5 days), however.
+Able to hold rocks, and stack them.

Cons
-Its body is very fragile, if shot by any caliber of bullet (This does not include anything that can be shot out of a gun, specifically bullets.) it will leave a very large hole wherever it was shot from, most likely immobilizing the Pin and possibly killing it. Guns and bullets aren't the only ways to kill a pin or damage one, blunt and sharp weapons though different, given one or two swings could easily crush or slice up a pin with ease.
-Pins though are very balanced creatures, can easily lose sense of direction when running, possibly tripping or completely falling.
-Pins are very susceptible to the cold, easily freezing up its insides and killing the pin instantly, leaving only the shell.
-Not able to eat anything but vegetation or bacteria, if given meat or any sort of food that contains anything other than vegetation, the Pin will suffocate and die.
-Pins are NOT able to wear clothing or armor of ANY type, clothing or armor would take an entire seperate app.
-Pins are NOT able to hold any form of weapons, that would take a completely seperate app dedicated to making a weapon a Pin can hold.

Im hoping to someday add more variations of Pins, so possibly expect more apps relating to these little fella's, their family tree is a large one!

Small woodland creatures are very okay. Once this is accepted we'll move it to the animal lore section.

1/2 Accept.
