Adults are distinctive by their long tails and gray scaled skin. Males have a brightly colored sensory plate on their faces, whereas females have a dull-colored plate. They use their tails to signal to one another; their tails fold together down the middle, and the organisms can open their tails like a folder, exposing a bright pattern inside that informs other members of the species that there is danger. Legs also have loose, wrinkled skin as a natural adaptation against predators. Legs have four eyes, but rather than having traditional eyelids, they have membranes covering their eyes for protection and moisture.
Legs strictly live throughout the forests of Alluria. They are generalists, meaning they are not picky regarding the specific areas in the forests that they inhabit.
These creatures are primarily herbivores that eat multiple parts of torches. Legs are especially drawn to the seed pods because of the sticky, nutritious nectar that surrounds the seeds.
Legs breed year-round. Prior to choosing a mate, both males and females engage in a series of mating dances as a form of courtship. Once they find a partner, the legs usually mate together for multiple breeding cycles before finding a new mate. They tend to live in small family groups called casts, and these are typically composed of an even number of males and females, so there is little competition for mates and therefore minimal breeding-related violence. Females carry their pregnancies for about six months and often have about 4-6 babies per birth cast. Baby legs, or poults, stay with their mothers until they are fully grown, and they become sexually active around 8 months of age.
The eyes of a legs are angled, granting a 360-degree view of the environment. This spectacular view helps the legs spot predators. Additionally, their sensory plates are so sensitive that they can pick up even the slightest chemical cues of food or danger.
