Geckons - Closed Species

Origins...

Geckons were first created within a lab on GU2, a world dedicated to the science and research of natural fighting sources. They were intended for use in battle as fighting machines, steeds and paramedics on the field. This, however, didn't quite go to plan at first.

The few early geckons were deemed unusable after a handful of tests. Too weak, too own minded, or simply far too small. They were dumped and left to die out in the ruins of an old church. These few, though, survived and thrived into the wild population found in the south eastern half of the world today.

GU2 soon perfected the creation of these creatures and now have a fleet of steeds and a merciless army at their disposal. 

Wild Geckons

Wild geckons are rather shy, but can become fully trusting of a human if shown enough trust. Most live out in the wilds, in forests, plains, mountains and even deserts. Some have learned to adapt to cities and live in the shadows, venturing out at night on the hunt for food.

These guys are smaller than their soldier counterpart, due to lack of constant food.

They are much more docile than the military geckons, having had no training or conditioning other than survival. They are also smart, much smarter than they were bred to be.

Military Geckons

Most military geckons are bred to be large for both mounts and battle, usually being the size of a car or bus. The smaller versions are used for on field medics, spies and rooting out tunnels.

When not in battle, they are docile and can almost be a pet. They will stay like this until told a trigger word, using a specific word to the legion they are drafted in. Then they will tear through ranks mercilessly, a mindless killer. Luckily, there is usually a trigger word to stop them.

They're nowhere near as smart as wild geckons, and if any are they hide it well.

Looks

All geckons are long, have paws, a roundish head and long ears. Some mutations have been recorded finding some with horns or antlers, vestigial wings, sabre teeth and there have even been a few who can change colour.

They can be any colour, but the military geckons are more likely to be dull and more mud coloured than wild geckons, who can be the brightest or darkest colour imaginable. 

Food

All geckons are herbivores, but they have been known to feast upon scraps left out by humans, including meat and artificial products. Geckons consider cheese to be the highest delicacy. 

Sizes

Wild geckons range from the size of a house cat to a car, whereas military geckons have been known to get much, much larger. There have also been sightings of tiny, pencil long geckons.

Voice

Geckons have a very wide range of dialects and languages. As of now, 37 dialects and several different languages have been recorded. They also seem to be partial to cursewords and music.
