Nuiwit

Nuiwit were a species of semi-quadrupedal, reptilian scaly squamates from the planet Altor 14. They differed from other reptiles in that they were herbivores. They were constantly hunted by the Avogwi, an avian species that hailed from the same planet.

Biology and appearance
The Nuiwit were very lizard-like, featuring a long reptilian tail and a long crest along their spine. Due to the constant hunting of the Avogwi, the Nuiwit developed many adaptations, such as stalked eyes, opposable forelimbs, detachable and regenerative limbs, and strong tridactyl hind legs. At the end of their long, extensible tongue was a sticky pad, that closed up like fingers for catching hard-to-reach plants or fruits. Their developed legs were capable of running very high speeds, to quickly scurry across their plains. They were oviparous and laid their eggs inside burrows they resided in. They were capable of creating very loud screeching sounds, used regularly during mating season. They mated for life, and laid an average of ten eggs throughout their lifetime. Climbing trees was common for them, for the purpose of grabbing fruits to eat. They were capable of being semi-bipedal, usually only for running while holding an object in their anisodactyl claws.
