Exploring the Diverse Habitats of Yegani Subspecies
The Yegani species, originating from the lush landscapes of Castilla D, boasts a fascinating diversity in its habitats, catering to the specific needs and adaptations of its three main subspecies: Cryophilic Yegani, Tropophilic Yegani, and Xerophilic Yegani. All three of these variants live in large multifamilial groups, and have strong bonds with eachother.
Tropophillic Yeganis, more commonly known as "Jungle Yeganis" are the most common variant of Yegani, defined by their lean, muscular bodies, vibrant array of skin, eye and hair colours, and wild, fun, arboreal and exuberant lifestyles.
Jungle Yeganis live in the lush, colourful tropical regions of Castilla D. Some of these jungles are near beaches, while some are more in-land. These regions of the planet are characterised by their relatively constant climate, reaching heats of 28-32˚C in the warm seasons, and dipping to lows of 15-20˚C in the colder seasons. These regions are relatively humid, and have large tree canopies and vast jungle floors. The biodiversity in this environment is through the roof, absolutely teeming with a huge array of flora and fauna. The vibrant landscape includes (but is not limited to) large trees, with branches spreading out in all directions, hanging vines, waterfalls, lagoons, ponds, streams, tropical pebble beaches, verdant cave systems full of glowing crystals, grottos, lofty mountains covered with plant-life, waterholes, vast clearings, underwater cave systems, deep bodies of water overflowing with life, kelp forests, bayous, rivers, bioluminescent plants, moss and fungi, and most importantly; Yegani villages scattered accross the land.
Jungle Yegani settlements can take on many forms, but most of them follow a layered structure with three types of houses surrounding a body of water, the important centrepiece of the semi-aquatic Yegani lifestyle. First, Tree houses built either on or inside the trees usually line the outside of the settlement, linked together in a vast network of vines, ladders and ropes. Then come the ground houses, large sturdy houses on the jungle floor that usually house the most occupants. in the middle are the water houses, either partially or fully submerged in the chosen body of water.

Jungle Yegani settlements heavily rely on the surrounding environment, incorporating different geological features into the very foundation of their settlements. for example, the Tenga'e village in the inland parts of the tropics is located at the very top of the Tenge Mountain (similar to Earth's 'Devil's Tower') and most of their way of life is adapted to life on the mountain and it's waterfall.
Unlike Earth's jungles, the jungles on Castilla D have numerous bodies of water surrounded by clearings, and those clearings are surrounded by dense jungle. there is usually a large area within a settlement similar to a village square of sorts, where festivities are held, rituals are performed, or people just chill there during their free time (which is most of the time lol)
