Biology

It lives in treetops and glides on its membrane releasing electricity as it glides, shocking friends and foes alike. Birds tend to stay away from this, so it can keep all the food to itself. It uses this to grill berries and make a meal.

It nests in holes gouged by Pikipek. It may be cute, but it is also troublesome. Sometimes it stuffs its cheeks so much, it cannot fly properly.

Design & origin

Emolga is based on the flying squirrel.
