Flowcotti

Flowcotti are small, feline-like creatures that have heavy floral accents along their bodies. A flowcotti can have any type of flower growing along their bodies and most commonly have a clear, glass-like area along their chest and back for the plants to grow. Once reaching adulthood, flowcotti are able to shed the flowers along their body to grow more generations of flowcotti for the future. The mix of flowcotti along Tikoni’s islands over the decades have led to many different types of flowers and plants to grow, and allow the islands to remain full and flourishing with nutrients. **Flowcotti are a mythical fantasy species in the game: Scouts of Tikoni.**

General Anatomy and Diet
Flowcotti come in many different types, sizes, shapes, and forms, but most of their base anatomy is the same among all the types. Common flowcotti are somewhat feline-like, but reach a maximum height of only 5 inches at the shoulder. Flowcotti do not have any natural bones or internal organs, with the exception of a brain, heart, and lungs. While they do have tongues and teeth, any food that a flowcotti consumes is converted immediately into energy to grow the plants on their back.

The natural diet of a flowcotti mostly consists of various wild plants, berries, and soil, as well as natural sunlight. Technically, flowcotti do not need physical food as long as they are exposed to constant sunlight. However, flowcotti tend to become incredibly unhealthy and weak if not given a proper diet. Because of this, flowcotti owners must make sure that their flowcotti is getting an even spread of sunlight, greens, soil, and water.

Flowcotti can grow any type of flower along their bodies through the translucent “water” on their back. The “water” or faintly blue parts on a flowcotti are not actually fully water, but rather a semi-translucent jelly that is made of the nutrients, water, and energy that naturally resides in a flowcotti’s body. This material is commonly referred to as “Flora Gelatin”, and allows the plants to grow on the flowcotti without the use of actual soil. This material also allows the plants to grow roots inside the flowcotti’s body to let the plants develop fully.

Known Species History
Flowcotti have existed on Tikoni’s islands since nearly the beginning of the island’s creation. The first flowcotti was created by Tikoni during their first use of “Cosmic Bloom v2”, a power that allowed the creation of natural animal life from plants. The use of Cosmic Bloom v2 on Tikoni’s flowers created the first flowcotti, Cisco. Shortly after the creation of Cisco, Tikoni brought other types of plants to life and allowed them to roam free along the island to grow new different types of plant life. After forming a bond with Tikoni, Cisco accompanied Tikoni along the exploration of the rest of the islands.

The rest of the flowcotti continued to populate the different islands, and quickly evolved different types of flowers to suit the different island environments. As the islands developed and more civilizations grew, flowcotti naturally grew closer to the island residents and villagers. In current day, flowcotti are often kept as pets or field animals along with Zarva. Flowcotti are greatly beloved among the Tikoni Islands and serve many important roles in keeping the islands flourishing and full of life.
