Environment and Structures
While Rozenich homes are up in the trees, and as such they spend a lot of their times far off the ground, they also spend a fair deal down below. Natural clearings and open spaces within the forest or along water sources provide plenty of room for Rozenich to build various structures and cultivate things. This includes farming and maintaining livestock. Ground structures are usually fairly crude, consisting of carved stones with thatched or wooden tops, typically covered in leaves similarly to their homes. The ground structures are always more simplistic and less maintained, as they are always moving them around and recycling the materials.
The kurri can always be found within the open spaces so their metallic buildings have access to proper sunlight, which is one of their sources of power. Kurri buildings are actually small space vessels inserted into the earth and modified. They can often be found directly outside of local rozenich camps in order to have easier access to them for monitoring and research purposes. They are sleek, triangular (sometimes pyramid-shaped), and plain, and often stand out like a sore thumb among the more organic forms from the rozenich. Rozenich are usually not allowed to enter the buildings unless they are granted permission, but that doesn't stop some rozenich from oogling at the shiny buildings. That is, unless they have more important things to do...
Fauna
Rozenich livestock consists of various types of species. Presented here are another of the insect/crustacean "bugs" (currently unnamed). They are fairly large, upwards of 4 feet at the highest point of their backs and with lengths of around 8 to 9 feet. They have hard, plated outer shells with a soft, furry underside, and 10 legs. They also have small horns on the center of their foreheads and large "pinchers" for digging up and maneuvering earth to find tasty snacks. They are strictly herbivorous and are fed leftover fruits and discarded building materials (sometimes fresh, often rotting or fermented). Females are usually cooler colors (blues, purples, greens) while males are warmer colors (reds, oranges, yellows). Both are iridescent. The young are hatched from eggs, usually 2-3 at a time, and travel on the backs of adults (the baby seen here is not finalized, as we will probably come up with a morphing life cycle for them... but for now, it's just a shrunken down version of the adults). For all of these bugs, their demeanor is calm and gentle, the domesticated versions significantly more-so. They are not highly intelligent, and don't really listen or do much. They could really care less if rozenich or kurri climb all over them and mess with them so long as they aren't causing them any harm or getting in the way of their food.
They are also bred and raised as a rozenich meat source. So, yes, these sweet and gentle creatures will eventually be harvested for their succulent meats (RIP) and their body parts, which will be used for tools, shelter material, and decorations. Some may be kept long-term as breeders, and it's not uncommon for them to be kept as pets, but generally speaking rozenich have little attachment to them, since they will eventually be slaughtered for consumption. Poor delicious meat bugs.
Another species frequently kept as livestock are small, flightless chicken-like creatures. Resembling tiny feral rozenich with no front legs, these little fuzzy things can be seen flocking around pecking at the scraps of the livestock bugs, or begging for food from rozenich. They are swift and tricky, finding any way possible to sneak a crumb or two. Rozenich raise and keep these creatures as both a source of food and for collecting eggs, not unlike chickens. They are always free-range, running around doing as they please, and only herded in when it is dangerous for them. They often act unintelligent, as their only real motivator is food, but they are smart enough to know the rozenich are their main source of it, so the little creatures have no qualms sticking around them. They each have varying personalities, so while some may enjoy being handled, others will peck and screech and be generally unfriendly. It just depends.
Caretakers:
As far as how the Rozenich care for the livestock, it is generally rather simplistic. Since the creatures don't do much, they are easy responsibilities that require only a few handlers sitting around watching out for them. A simple cane or staff is usually enough to shoo the creatures back into their watchful zone should they begin to wander too far. If any small predators come around, scaring them away is fairly simple. Larger predators, however, may be more risky. Usually rozenich are fairly alert, and should a larger predator be spotted lurking around, they will quickly gather what they can into the shelters.
The kurri never partake in any livestock care, but they are regularly seen monitoring and observing the creatures for research purposes, in addition to seeing how the rozenich behave with them. Kurri do not get attached to creatures like this, though Kacey has warmed up to some of the bugs.... let's just hope she doesn't get too attached. While Linda will act friendly and cute to the big bug-cows, and even treat some few as pets, she will also gladly help slaughter and eat them because she loves meat just like every other rozenich. That's life, I guess.
If there are any other questions pertaining to this image, lemme know!
