General Info
Svarpians live in the Ryvern Marshes on the Northern side of the Isle. They are solitary creatures that don't need a lot of attention. They can slitter soundlessly over about any surface and through shallow waters, floating on their flippers. Those flippers and the end of the tail have suction cups to enable them to climb walls and trees. 

Mating Info
Once a year all Svarpians gather and hold contests. The winners of those contests are allowed to mate. This is how Svarpians ensure the hatchlings will be strong. The female(s) lays around 20-40 eggs shortly after. Only one half of the eggs are offered to the Center to adopt out. This of course has to do with breed survival. One or two people have been known to go to the marshes and try to get an egg themselves. None have ever returned. 
Females and Males are allowed to compete every year, however it is unlikely they'd win two years in a row. Rules on how to mate your own Svarpian are listed on the contest page of the Ryvern Swamp.

Colours
The colours go from very frequent to very rare.
MURKY GREEN: The most common of Svarpian, murky greens are pretty easy to keep happy.
MUD BROWN: Beware the trees...mud browns like to reside in them, softly lowering behind you.
CAMOUFLAGE: Anyone ordered a stealth expert?

BLACK: Blacks are the high rulers, strong and brave with more stamina than other Svarpians.
GREY: Greys are used to living close to the mountain. They like rocks and don't mind the cold. The
     greys feed off small creatures.
BAMBOO: Strong and sadistic these are the absolute loners among the Svarpian. They don't yield
     to anyone.

BURGUNDY: Burgundies are very noticeable, they are red in a totally green environment. They
     like attention and company slightly more than other Svarpians.
WHITE: Albinos are very uncommon. They are a bit shy and aren't as strong as other Svarpians.
     They are very intelligent and can often learn to speak.
PASTEL:  Pastels are a cross between whites and any other colour. These will be handed out to very
     good pages and as gifts. A pastel is basically duocoloured, intelligent and very sweet.
     Personally we like the bamboo one a lot more }:)
