Floraunabook (Fauna): Qaleri
The Qaleri ("Comrades") are an ancient fauna species that accompany individual People from certain forms and tribes from the time of Election until their partner's death. They are unknown to be related closely to any other fauna, and certain aspects set them apart from other fauna like their unique intelligence and the large diversity among their species, but it is still clearly visible that they are fauna. Qaleri perceive "Family", and have greatly elaborate and strong family structures among their own species as well as incredible loyalty to their partners. They are known for showing altruism, and if it will not put their partner at immediate risk, they are known to put themselves at risk to save their fellow Qaleri. However, they form such a strong emotional bond with their People that they will put their People even beyond their own needs or those of their Qaleri family, and they only very rarely outlive their partners by any significant amount of time.
