Another creature from my specbio project. T'kathucht, are jumping predators that fill a similar niche to some species of frog or toad. They go after flying prey and can launch themselves forwards and backwards up to impressive heights. The species depicted here is native to the Wyu'hlkee grasslands and beaches where it blends in with the red foliage and extremely dark volcanic soil and sands. They're sought after by some bug keepers for their complex patterns, but they have a bad reputation with some who keep dart gardens due to their tendency to prey on dart species.

While they have various names in the languages used in the islands, their most common name of t'kathucht comes from "t'kata", a simple toy that would bounce or flip off the ground when one pressed down on and let go of it.
