Bug Ferret Surface Flora (Patreon)

Speaking of bug ferrets, I was developing more of the surface climate for them a while ago. Bug ferrets come from a cold planet with functionally no seasons, so there are a lot of areas that feel like snowy jungles. The lack of yearly disturbance allows the vegetation to very slowly grow dense and huge, despite the freezing temperatures. Most plants past the tropics have noticeable, permanent lean in the direction of the equator, because that's the horizon the sun is closest to. I stopped working on the bottom picture here because I realized that all of the succulents on the ice field would have such an extreme lean that it would make more sense for them to be chair-shaped structures casting long shadows, not prostrate.

The surface dwelling ethnicity of bug ferrets tend to be large, darkly furred, and live in smaller family groups than tunnel dwellers. their extremities are shorter and more densely furred to protect from the cold.
