Oytl

The oytl is a creature native to the jungles of distant Questie on the planet Troy.

Biology
The oytl is an emerald beetle that scurry about in the jungles, and feed on the sap of High Entomophilous Evergreen Klumintrÿs or pluks. When they gorge on the sap of the pluks, they become petrified and turn into living jewels. The tribe known as the Shavashavas trade them to visitors to Questie who value them as real gemstones, despite being only decorative to the natives.
