\ A meter-long fuzzy insect from the planet Binma. \ - Frostflies utilize their vestigial wings as a method of dispersing a chemical that produces a rapid \ - endothermic reaction on contact with the air, resulting in the flash-freezing of nearby materials. \ + A native of the Binman contintents of Telarus and Dalomee, the Tymisian Moth usually lives in communal \ + groups of upwards of thirty individuals, known as 'spuzzes', and typically breeds up to three times in its \ + fifteen year natural lifespan. \
\ - Carnivorous in nature, they use their cryogenic compounds to trap smaller prey, or frighten predators. \ - Individuals are known to slalom when facing other creatures, dispersing clouds of gas, and spitting \ - condensed globs of the compound. These masses of mucous and ice seem to be intended to impede movement. \ + Though strictly herbivorous, the moth has an acute sense of smell which it uses to detect potential predators. \ + Impressively, the moth secretes an oily substance which it uses to coat collected material stored in 'soft pockets' \ + beneath each wing, which in turn attracts colonies of pungent bacteria. \ + When threatened, the moth will release this dust, which has a disorienting effect on most Binman species, as well as all known sapients. \
\ - Travelers are advised to avoid frostfly swarms whenever possible, as they will become aggressive \ - to anything other than Diyaabs, which they seem to have formed a tangential symbiosis with." + The Tymisian Moth is considered an invasive species on Sif, and is believed to have been established from an illegally \ + released pet collection. Though less dangerous than in its native environment, the moth has nonetheless established a \ + similar symbiotic relationship with Sivian bacteria for its defense mechanism, and is still to be considered quite dangerous. \ +
\ + As an invasive species, individuals encountering the Tymisian Moth on Sif are requested to report the sighting to local wildlife \ + services, and remove or destroy the creature if it is safe to do so." value = CATALOGUER_REWARD_MEDIUM /mob/living/simple_mob/animal/sif/tymisian
