The Falliy are a species of mammals that lived on the plains of the
Orcish continent of Orceron, particularly in the nation of Iberaa. They have been known as vegetarian
scavengers, often seen drinking nutritional liquids with their long,
trunk-like appendage.
Behavior
There is much that isn't known about the behavior of Falliy due to the fact that there was only a relatively small body of research on these creatures in the wild before the Great Cataclysm of Orceron, during which the vast majority of the Falliy species was wiped out. A few kept in zoos were saved, but have not been reintegrated into a new "natural" habitat.
One thing that is known is that the Falliy tend to be solitary animals - they do not have permanent resting places or nests that they go back to regularly. However, studies have suggested they did have territories, which they may have defended. The main exception to their solitary life appears to be when they meet individuals of the opposite sex to mate and when a mother and young are together for the first year or so of the youngster's life.
While some Falliy appear to be strictly diurnal, others appear to be just the opposite. Diurnal Falliy tend to be found most often in areas remote from civilization, while nocturnal Falliy live in more heavily populated areas.
When threatened or frightened, the Falliy will amble away if possible.
The Falliy rarely make sounds. When they do it is mostly when they are young or in a state of excitement; the sound is a high-pitched, shrilly grunt noise. A baby that has fallen off his mother's back will grunt to his mother either to remind her that he has fallen off or to simply instruct her where he is to get her attention.
