Here is some information about Flispian Pets...
Magma Darter:
This bright blue, um, "fish" adds some much needed color to a red and black world. It is bright blue, with peritoneal greenish stripes. This creature, like all Flispian life, is very resistant to lava. In fact, it swims through it as if it wasn't hot at all. Boasting lungs and long fins, the magma darter is about a foot long. Flispian Children put them in lava pools, watching them for about a week, until they leap off into another pool somewhere. The darter's long fins allow it to propel itself through the thick, molten rock. In the wild, these darters live in groups of several thousand, and are a main food source for Flispians. (They don't tell their children.)
Rencal juvenile:
This is a common pet, but doesn't last long. While cute and nice while young, many a rencal has been released into the lava fields after it ate a household guest. Children are often heartbroken by this, unless of course they were the being that the snake ate. (Then they would be whole body broken.) While Rencals reach over 30 feet in the wild, the aid of Flispians allows released Rencals to reach over twice this length. Also, the creatures get used to the taste of Flispains. This is not good, obviously. Most Flispians are advised to avoid buying juvenile Rencals.
Peole:
The Peole is probably the most common Flispian pet. This quadrupedal creature is friendly, intelligent, loyal, and doesn't eat Flispians. (see above.) These creatures have amazing breeding cycles but short lives, living only 2 years. However, in that time, it can produce thousands of young. Twasseccs that have witnessed this small creature often refer to it as the flame hamster.
