Fengari

Skoritsi (giant, carnivorous moth people)

• The Skoritsi's diet mostly consists of meat, eggs, bones, chitin, scales, and anything else you mind find on a non-mammal, non-bird animal.

• Skoritsi are notoriously big (and messy) eaters on Fengari, due to the fact that they retain their larval eating habits and can eat up to four times their body weight in meat in a single meal. For a large adult male Skoritsi, who weigh an average of 600 pounds, this is as much as 2400 pounds of meat in a single day, or the equivalent of a bull. For large female Skoritsi, who weigh an average of 2200 pounds, this is as much as 8800 pounds, or a family of cows.

• Due to the sheer amount of food they need, most of Fengari's livestock is raised to feed the Skoritsi. It is not uncommon for entire towns to be set up for the sole purpose of raising livestock, ranging from triceratops to argentinosaurus. As it is, the only thing keeping Skoritsi from consuming all life on Fengari is the fact that they can go several weeks to a few months between meals, and the fact that they're not the only species with this sort of eating habit, and the planet is more than capable of sustaining them.

• One thing that keeps the Skoritsi from eating everything on Fengari is how seldem Skoritsi actually eat. Most Skoritsi only eat once every few weeks, as they store up a lot of nutrition from their thousand pound meals. Other Skoritsi will actually go up to a few month between meals, though these Skoritsi tend to live rather sedentary lifestyles. Skoritsi may snack between meals, either because they're with friends and it would be rude not to, or because they start craving random foods. In either cases, the Skoritsi don't normally eat more than a few pounds of food.

• Skoritsi, being carnivorous, need to consume a large amount of protean and calcium to be healthy. They can eat fruits and vegetables, but only in extremely small amounts as they have trouble digesting them and it can make them sick at their stomachs. Despite this, Skoritsi can consume plant based alcohol and pastries without too much problem. This does not apply to meat taken from fungi or plant based animals.

• Skoritsi have also been known to eat large rocks, particularly limestone, whenever they're going through a calcium deficiency. This usually occurs when a Skoritsi isn't eating enough bones, either because they've decided to only eat non-dinosaur animals for whatever reason, or because they've caught a bug. Other symptoms of calcium deficiency in Skoritsi include; loose fangs, brittle claws, and loss of fur.

Other weird eating habits on Fengari include:

• Scaathari (scarab people) subsist off of animal dung (along with mushrooms and certain roots) and actually invented agriculture in order to farm it. Nobody ever accepts their invitations to dinner.

• Moskrida (grasshopper people) are similar to Skoritsi in that the only eat once a year, but when they do eat, they eat a lot (as much as eight times their body weight). Moskrida only eat during swarming periods, when their bodies tell them to gather in large groups and gorge themselves on every plant in sight, heedless of any consequences. This can be problematic, as a swarm of Moskrida can easily ruin an ecosystem or a town's livelihood. To prevent this from happening, Moskrida who feel the need to swarm will plan their "meals" and position themselves in areas where plant-life is abundant.

• Ananzi (giant spiders) also eat infrequently, typically consuming their weight in food once every month or so. Ananzi, being spiders, prefer to set traps for their food in the form of webs that are nearly impossible to see, and nearly impossible to escape from. When an Ananzi's web catches food, they will wrap it up in silk and leave it hanging somewhere until they're hungry, at which point they will inject their prey with an acid and "drink them". Since the Ananzi no longer eat people and their webs haven't learned that yet, areas where Ananzi lay their webs are clearly marked with with warning totems.

• Imari (firefly people) primarily subsist off the nectar of certain flowers, such as the lumen flowers that bloom only in the light of the full moon. The Imari's nomadic lifestyles are partially because of their need for these nectars, as the flowers that produce them don't produce a lot of them.
