- Their heads are elongated and narrow, with a slightly flattened skull and a pointed snout. They have large, round eyes, sharp teeth, and pointed ears.

- Their diet is omnivorous, with a preference for meat during the winter months and a focus on foraging and hunting during the warmer months.
- Physical adaptations: Thick fur/scales to protect against wind and rain, streamlined head shape for better maneuverability in stormy conditions, large and flexible ears for enhanced hearing and balance, and sharp claws and teeth for hunting and defense. They have two spider-like limbs that extend from their shoulders to grab and cling onto surfaces in strong winds.
