Artwork
Fekite is a tree-dwelling creature that looks more at home on the ground. Although it does not have wings, it has the ability to shift its weight around its entire body, flattening itself for perfect aerodynamic gliding. When airborne, it can use its tail as a rudder to change direction. Fekite’s diet consists mostly of pinecones, which has created an antagonistic relationship with Pinegolin.
