World Building Day 4 HW

The name of this world is Nyami. It is 90% water and 10% ice. Algae and shrimp like creatures is a main source of food for much of the sea life. The larger creatures that live on the ice are mammals that are somewhat amphibian for how much they live in the water too. That is their main source of food, the fish of the sea. The fish eat the organisms, the land animals eat the fish and the organisms eat the animal waste and photosynthesize. Since the planet is mainly ocean, seaweed, plankton, and algae create most of the oxygen and keep the oceans clean. Due to the abundance of these creatures and plant life the ocean from a far look swirled with vibrant blues and greens. With out much other vegetation the entire planet is basically only blue, white, green and grey on the surface, but underneath there are creatures of all colors that match the coral and other species of life under the sea. Yet for this project we are going to focus on the above the sea life, where there are large mammals that live much of their life on the glacial ice. Because the ice is mainly white with hints of blues and grays and a hint of green all of the creatures above match this color scheme.

The humanoid creatures of this world resemble people, but much smaller. Their limbs are shorter, smaller hand and feet that have more thickness, much like blubber on a seal. They also have smaller eyes to help prevent snow blindness from the sun hitting the snow and overall do not have very good sight. Their sense of smell and hearing far exceed that on humans on earth and their ability to withstand the cold is greater. They are extremely pale, almost white like the snow for their veins are further down in their skin to help retain heat. They will also wear the fur and skin of their kills for camouflage for hunting and for protection. They are hairier, almost appearing to have fur, and their hair colors range from pure white to a dark grey. Since they live in a glacial environment they burn the oils of their kills to keep a large bonfire in the middle of their village. This gives them light, heat, a way to cook and dry meat and protection against predators.
