The Kadez is a medium-sized river chelicerate, living in particularly pure, well-oxygenated streams. It tolerates very cold temperatures and as such is often found in mountain streams. They turn over pebbles with their legs in search of small invertebrates, roe, and other small prey to eat. It is quite an active creature, and in areas where they are abundant, they'll often come up onto land for other food sources. That said, they are quite skittish, and surprisingly fast -especially underwater-, so it isn't always easy to approach them.

blackcatgender

the gender identification of black cats, bats and spiders!! this gender feels dark and mysterious, and may have a close connection to halloween! even if this gender is connected to the colour black and creepy crawlies, it probably has a soft side!

some suggested pronouns: hiss/hisself, bat/bats/batself, scare/scares/scareself, lic/lics/licorice, cat/cats/catself and hallow/hallows/hallowself

(this term + flag has been coined by me and may be reposted with credit!) ♡
