Emerald Dance

Encyclopedia entry: This Flaresu is a relative of the smaller Fireferra. It too has some fire elemental powers, able to sometimes breathe fire as well as survive in hotter environments than most other animals. These animals, about the size of a dog, live in pairs that defend a family territory. Pups are born in litters of 3 to 4, and the parents raise their young for one to two years. They are exceedingly agile hunters that hunt small to medium size prey, and, like Fireferra, are known for their intelligence.

Flaresus make good pets as long as they are given a job, an enriched environment, or both to keep their smart minds occupied as well as given enough exercise. As pets they respond better to training than a cat, but are more independent than a dog.

The West Peterran Flaresu is a species very similar to the common Flaresu. It also develops some fire abilities as it matures, and it is a territorial animal that lives in small families--usually just its mate and a few cubs. It is one of the smaller predators that hunts the West Peterran plains, but its cleverness makes it resourceful and adaptable and helps it stay out of danger even though it shares the land with much larger carnivores.
