Found in savannahs and other grassland regions where it remains temperate year-round, Tagluma Valsos tend to stay near rivers and streams and are often spotted wading in the shallows. Given their sociable nature, it is not uncommon to see flocks of as many as a hundred individuals gathered in one area. Their colorful plumage makes them easy to spot, though approaching them must be done cautiously, as they are quick to flee if they sense danger. Although they have been observed nibbling on vegetation when necessary, Tagluma Valsos prefer insects as their main source of food, which they lure in using their bright tail feathers. Butterflies seem to be their favorite, and not even poisonous species deter them. When breeding season approaches, mateless adults will perform intricate dances of bows, pirouettes, spreading and raising their wings, and ruffling their plumage to attract a mate. Pairs slowly split off from the main flock to find their own nesting places. Their nests are built on dry ground in open grassy areas, and both parents take turns brooding the eggs until they hatch.

The creatures that dwell in this rather desolate world still display some diversity in appearance, eating habits, and social behavior. Whether they have fur or feathers, skin or scales, their unique genetic makeup allows for a variety of colors and markings within each species. Despite limitations in food sources, herbivores, omnivores, and carnivores are all present in the food chain, and each species requires specialized care within a laboratory. Although the artificial setting of housing units and breeding pods precludes most opportunities to study true interspecific behavior, the interactions within and between species has been studied extensively in the wilderness by scientists daring enough to venture beyond the outpost’s walls.
