Oviparous (egg laying), sometimes in communal nests with other females

Nocturnal

Compatibility: They rarely talk unless they have somthing to say, their Dia bitty always knows what they need when they need it without either of them having to exchange words, they also don't mind letting their Dia be their voice either,

They, similar to their Dia and their camera, like to carry around fake guns, from small pistols they can just tuck in their picked to larger guns with body straps, they don't really care if it can shoot or if its ever real, it could be a bag that is shaped like a gun for all they care, they just like them! Not even they, or their Dia, know why,

They and easily hold their own in an aggressive households, they also do well in larger and more rowdy households, so long as they have a safe space! And their Dia of course,

They often have trouble sleeping, often staying up way later than they want and then not being able to stay asleep and get proper rest while sleeping,

Feeding habits: They always make sure their Dia eats properly before they take care of themselves, though their Dia often does the same, it can be amusing to watch sometimes!

Additional info: Each Tus bitty spawns with a paired Dia bitty, and they must be adopted together, as they deteriorate when separated, they might not dust but their physical and mental health suffer,
