Because the Andromeda 5 are mostly based on little Earth animals, I have the inclination to just ask ‘what do [x] eat’ ‘how long to [x] live’ and now for context ‘how do [x] reproduce’, that latter most one more relevant to how each of the more animal-inspired aliens think about parenthood and fun stuff with relationships. But this post isn’t about the xeno birds and bees, this is simply context-
Diego the Hood Island giant tortoise, a species saving manwhore of the Galápagos Islands, has become sex-haver george of geochelene aerio and is a fucking outlier that should not be counted.
God this bitch, this goddamn tortoise Genghis Khan, has completely changed how I intend to make some xenobiology headcanons for geochelene aerios and Galapagus himself- and at first it was in the obvious way until I looked into it and found out Diego is a serial shelled womaniser. Instead, I’ve come to think of this ‘father of all’ type character and almost just imagine him to be some famous figure of sorts on Aldabra, in the same fucking scale as Addwaitya even-
That’s right lads- this is a LORE post, featuring not only this fuckboi Deogar and his millions of children, but fucking Addwaitya as well and what the fuck is up with Galapagus’ ‘by Addwaitya’ and the very clearly now monstrous Mr Genocide we have in Ledgerdomain.
Before we get into the newly dubbed Deogar and what the hell his deal is, let’s ponder a bit on why Addwaitya is such a significant enough figure to be name dropped a whole season before he shows up by a much presumably younger member of his species. And to start I believe it is best to describe that Aldabra  - before Galapagus was ever even a shred of a thought -  was significantly different than the snippet of what we got in the show.
The old era of Aldrabra... kinda sucked as- modern Aldabra would refer to this as ‘The Age of Corruption’ or some similar stuff because naming shit is hard :( and was a time very much no bueno. Think on the ‘father’ of psychology himself Sigmund Freud, who’s work influenced countless psychologists to prove his theories wrong, and on H.P. Lovecraft and his - either quoting or paraphrasing from OSP’s own Red - “delicate constitution for math”, Aldabra as a collective was filled with pseudo-scientific mockeries of the already rather mocked psychology sorry not sorry chio (and myself) and an overwhelming fear of the unknown in a world of folk who don’t even know a lick of technology yet; it’s not quite anti-intellectualism, but it is essentially philosophy turned twisted and dialed to 11 where everything and everyone if affected by it and have no feasible way to stay out of it.
Well, unless you don’t even live close enough to the cities or people at all.
Hermits, nomads and any such variation of isolationists that avoid literally any and all GA contact. Addwaitya himself was a hermit, choosing to live in one of what I’m dubbing as the domain woods, a forest of flora that blur the line between plant and animal because of their proximity to Ledgerdomain, the veil between the realities thinnest here and also in ledger plains, where more grassland appropriate flora reside. It was not simply a ‘being born and raised’ scenario for Addwaitya and his status as a hermit, but as a self induced exile from the current societies of Aldabra to live ‘away from the bullshit’ and other similar resentments.
He turned to the woods with bitter intent and vitriolic feelings, but he did not instigate what happened next.
You see, with the overflowing amount of mana that is being pumped into Aldabra’s natural landscapes, it’s juxtaposition against the scared rigidity of the time’s geochelene aerio flared up a rage of it’s own, the concrete almost brutalist cities of those afraid of the change of the world with the corrupted philosophies of minds in excess set the Ledgerdomain fueled forests and fields into a craving hunger. It’s only problem? It had no hands of it’s own to deal with it.
Many of the other Original Elders (a title to those who hermits and nomads who avoided the beliefs of the time like the plague) had refused the offer of the other world to ‘get rid of’ the corruption, for it was in their chosen separation that they do not and would continue not to associate nor trouble themselves over the political climate of Aldabra. Addwaitya however, the one Elder to have left society with scorn, would be the perfect proxy to inflict Lederdomain’s wrath.
Gifting Addwaitya with a powerful rune, one that would give him the ability to bend mana to his very will at the behest of Ledgerdomain and it’s children on Aldabra, the nature of the planet had it’s tool to usurp the control and terror that The Age of Corruption held on it’s people. And what do you get when you give a vengeful man a key to destruction and the order to act- let’s just say that war never changes but rather history repeats.
A lot of what made Aldabra bad was not only instructed to ‘be removed’, it was also the waft of bad vibes that got sponged into the rune itself, the cleansing of the flow of mana and the inciting moment of the nature apocalypse, where plant-life not only takes over the concrete towers of labyrinthine cities, but takes anything and everything that didn’t have any shred of organic life left in them. And so far as history books to the new go, what was left of The Age of Corruption (as those fully engrossed in the society) were the youngest generation that had not lived long enough to adopt the modern worldview, many children left parentless where even the Original Elders could not manage to take care of them all.
And it was this generation that this lad Deogar comes from.
As the youngest to ever get thrusted and pulled into the throes of The Wrath of the Wilds, the children of corruption grew up as one of the last generations of the entire population of geochelene aerio. Not fully living life under the new apocalypse of woods and plains, many children were lost and afraid. And those children grew up in that continued fear of the unknown, but with no other option than to face the dangers of the new world on their own and with the very real threat of extinction hanging over their heads.
Deogar, now an adult, decided that the best way to cope with this very visceral fear is to devote his life to hedonism and doing what little things he can do to give him and others happiness and good times... of which including that of the allo variety.
It is not explicitly (hah) all that he did as a lot of what Deogar did was be the shining optimist or otherwise beacon of hope for a lot of the remaining peoples of Aldabra, especially as the Original Elders were passing their expiration dates. However, outside of just generally spreading the idea of ‘relax under the summer sun’ philosophy that no one would particularly want to start a fist fight over, a very loud and very evidential result of his ‘give everyone a good time’ philosophy was the sudden spike in population thanks to mostly his own effort. In fact, a lot of others had begun to follow in his footsteps of ‘being the manwhore one was always meant to be’ not because he had inspired others with his methods, but because Deogar was really really overcompensating and the others with the parts to do so had to make sure that at least some of the next generation weren’t all half siblings.
This bitch is quite literally a species saviour for Aldabra and the modern day geochelene aerio, so much so that his outlier of kids had still skews even slightly the average children per person statistic. Something that Galapagus himself cannot even hope to achieve with one adopted daughter, let alone at home where he only really had one friend emphasis on had.
Aaaand I think that’s about it? Certainly some stuff that has been haunting me for a while (both Galapagus saying Addwaitya and that damn Diego) and this is... hmm have I mentioned outside of Poiana Lüncas any of the other Andromeda 5 planets? I know for sure I haven’t spoken much about Kiusana lmao- eh, whatever...
Wait this post is technically about love and war, would’ja look at that! Lemme tag this appropriately.

Based on intel, on 11.08.22 a male pax arriving from #Bangkok in TG-337 was #intercepted by #Customs #Officers. On #examination of checked-in baggage 1- #DeBrazza #Monkey, 15-King #Snakes, 5-#Ball #Pythons and 2- #Aldabra #Tortoises were recovered. Since the live #animals were imported #illegally, they were deported back to the country of origin through #Thai #airways in consultation with #AQCS. Further investigation is on. #IndianCustomsAtWork @cbic_india https://www.instagram.com/p/ChY0MkFLgnZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#Summer is here & I went off #naturedrawing @hausdesmeeres again. Currently we have a typical summer, so I'll share this piece of these #Aldabra giant #tortoises napping in the #madagascar area. They really chilled out until the food showed up. (Mostly salad) I think they got it figured to live through the heat - nap, eat, hydrate! That's it. 😆😉 I worked with #crayons (or colored pencils) this time for a different structure. (Truth be told, I also did some digital retouching.😁) But what do you think? Aquarelle or pencil coloring, what's better? #art #artlife #traditional #turtle #nap #schildkröte #riesenschildkröte #aldabratortoise #gianttoroises #madagascararea #coloredpencils #pencilcoloring #pencilcolor #outdoordrawing #mobiledrawing #nature #zoo #indoorzoo #schläfchen #Madagaskar #green #brown #grün #braun (at Haus des Meeres Zoo) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfkPGjEouGA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Does X'Nelli and Aldabra have any other elemental species?
X'Nelli has Polar, Solar, and Terran variants of the Manzardill
Aldabra has the Geochelone Aerio and the Aldabran Leviathans, and some rumors state that there are Geochelone offshoots that inhabit the oceans.
I'm sure in some other universe there'd be greater diversity for species on both of those planets, but... sometimes you have to restrain yourself.

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day
Do you hate getting water up your nose? The Aldabra giant tortoise doesn't! In fact, this species drinks through their nose; their flat snouts are specially designed to allow them to draw water from shallow pools, which is critical in an environment where water is scarce.
