    Name: Bearded Emperor



    Description: Bearded Emperors are small yellow creatures with bright pink antlers that resemble a crown and "beards" which are made up of various snake-like tails that they use to move.

    Behavior: A Bearded Emperor will spend most of its time within a tall tree, where it's beard can properly keep it stable. They will spend some 75% of their life in one tree. They will often allow something like birds to nest within its antlers, and in exchange the birds will feed it when it hungers. However its antlers do not stop growing, and at certain points they will branch out, allowing several sets of creatures to nest in them. This flock of birds is often called the Emperor's "Court".



    Tamability: They do not listen to commands or otherwise follow instructions, however if one were to capture one and put it in a tree, it would make for a nice birdcage.



    Where is it found?: Forests, jungles, anywhere with trees and birds.



    Rarity: They are hugely territorial and will yell at other Emperors if they get close. As such, if a planet houses Emperors it is often limited to an uncommon stasis, with one per section of forest.



    Diet: They are herbivores and rely mainly on the fruit of the trees they live in and their courts to feed them.



    Products?: Their antlers are durable, and it isn't uncommon for florans to make crowns out of them. As well as their meat being decent.



    Reproduction: Oddly, Emperors reproduce asexually, once per its lifetime, normally during the end when it has a full court, it will give birth to two smaller emperors(commonly called "Princes"), before kicking them out of the tree to find their own home.



    Size: It's body is about the size of a head, with the beard adding a foot to it, and the antlers adding a varying height. The largest recorded had a "crown" height of 6 feet, making it a total of 8 feet tall.


    Weight: Around 70 pounds average, not counting the birds that call it home.



    Lifespan: On average they live 50 years, however some have grown to be 75.



    Abilities:
    -Snake tail movement
    -Bird nesting
    -Deep, rumbling yelling may cause headaches.



    Flaws:
    -Slow movement speed
    -Relatively defenseless.


    Other: If passed this app will be completely open. Just PM me first before you put them on a planet.

    Hello @zecon125
    This is a relatively simple and innocent bestiary application. I'll happily give the tree-loving creatures a pass.
    Have fun with creatures crowning your trees.
