On the distant planet of Kaimere, titanosaurs roam the land and are defining species of the ecology of the Known World, especially the kipourotitan species. One however that is also quite common in the Known World is the wawakoku as it is called by the Pakardiant, a titanosaur found along the coasts of every continent in the Known World and near every island in the Inland Sea. Steward Titan. Wawakoku are so similar to Kipourotitan in skeletal anatomy to the point that some consider them a species of the genus, but there are key differences in the skull and particularly the tail that many consider distinct enough to be its own genus. Notably, the tail of the wawakoku is flattened laterally to act as a rudder, allowing them to stay on course while swimming. Although like all titans they cannot swim conventionally due to their hollow bones and extensive air sacs, this tail allows them to have some control over where they are going as opposed to Kipourotitan which are mostly at the mercy of the currents. Wawakoku are also the smallest of the Known World titans, being about the size of an elephant, but this makes it one of largest herbivores common among the islands of the Inland Sea. Wawakoku take advantage of this size by traveling from island to island and gorging on the bountiful vegetation with no fear of any predators. Only the kurajaku, a huge megaraptoran that is the apex predator of the Inland Sea, can take full grown adults, and even then only via ambush from bellow. Other than that, wawakoku are the dominant herbivores of the coastlines in the Known World, taking their fill of all the islands scattered throughout. When it comes time to mate, females gather at a suitable island and gorge themselves, clearing the trees for their nests and calling out to males who gather to compete for the right to mate in bloody combat. The number of bulls that remain with the herd is determined by the size of the herd in question; a herd of a dozen might have only a single male, while herds of over a hundred will have many males to mate with. Once the females lay their eggs, all the adults depart while some of the yearlings remain and feed on what little foliage remains. While the island appears devastated, in truth the dung left by the adults has provided the nutrients for a smorgasbord the young may feed upon until it is once again depleted and they strike out on their own. Most remain with yearlings and form new herds, some form small bands without a yearlings protection, and others go completely on their own.
