Kecha Wacha Ecology

Taxonomy
Kechawacha are members of the Pelagus/Fanged Beast class. They are large primate monsters like Blangonga and Gogomoa.

Habitat Range
Kechawacha thrive in areas where they can climb and swing around freely. These areas consist of the Ruins Field, Underground Cave, and Primeval Forest.

Ecological Niche
These creatures have a varied diet as they will feed on vegetation, fruits, seeds, along with insects such as Altaroth, grubs, or Bnahabra. The primates however must avoid being preyed upon by large predators such as Garara Ajara, Tigrex, Nerusukyura, Deviljho, and Goa Magara.

Biological Adaptations
The ears of a Kechawacha can be utilized in multiple ways. These ears are capable of listening for insect larvae inside trees and aid the primates in escaping potential predators. If cornered a Kechawacha will fold its ears over its face and will attempt to frighten the attacker off with the bright eye spots on its ears. This gives a Kechawacha the appearance of a menacing creature. Like its ears the elephant trunk-like nose of a Kechawacha has multiple uses. This trunk is used for sucking up water and spraying it back into its owner's mouth just like that of an elephant. Inside the trunk is a specialized organ that can store large amounts of water and this water can be used for defense whenever these primates shoot out globs of mucus water at an attacker. Kechawacha are arboreal animals that have large and hooked claws that enable them to get an excellent grip on slippery vines. The tail of this creature ends in a hooked barb and will allow a Kechawacha to hang upside in trees just like an oppossum. One particular adaptation that Kechawacha have that seperates them from other primate monsters like Congalala is their ability to glide. These creatures have a "Patagium" which is an extension of the skin of the abdomen that runs up to the tip of each digit, thus uniting the forelimb with the body. This membrane allows the creatures to glide in search of food or to escape ground-based predators like Stygian Zinogre.

Behavior
Curious in nature Kechawacha will investigate anything in their environment that is new to them. Relatively peaceful in nature these creatures would rather flee than fight, yet if fleeing is not an option they will readily use their long, sharp, and hooked claws to defend themselves.
