Tuu is a planet that seems normal at first, but it very soon becomes clear that it is far from anything normal.
Geography/Climate
This tropical planet is covered in lush jungles and beautiful, warm oceans. Its surface is mostly flat with few hills or mountains, allowing frequent rain storms to sweep over the continents with ease. The temperature remains within 80-100*F during the day, and only drops to about 75-80*F at night. Things cool off with the rains, but soon warm back up. The planet is surrounded by a sort of water canopy, allowing for this "greenhouse" environment.
Creatures
The native anthro race of this planet is the Sazi, agile cat-like creatures with antennae. Their main color is green, but they can be other primary colors, also. (My sister heavily based these on the Neopets "Aisha". Check with them if you need an visual boost.) They have a tribal culture with villages on the forest floor, but emergency dwellings in the trees for floods and such. Their technology is less advanced than Wunn's, using archery and spears rather than laser-powered guns. Ambush is their primary mode of hunting and warring. A bartering system for goods is used.
At the top of the food chain on Tuu are the Grools. A Grool is an enormous T-Rex type dinosaur with huge claws and fangs. They are purple with green bellies, and are slobbery and horribly noisy, so you can hear them a long way off. Just imagine a disturbingly evil Barney. They stomp around the jungles, eating anything and everything in their path. However, not only are they noisy enough to be avoided, they are also quite blind on account of their beady little eyes.
Giant bats also inhabit Tuu, and they eat giant bugs. These bats are big enough to ride (that is, if you can catch a good one), and the bugs are big enough to kill you. Thank goodness the bats eat them.
Other wildlife includes many different kinds of brightly colored birds, and really long earthworms. Good source of protein, eh?
Other Info
Tuu was (obviously) the second planet to be discovered, and as such, is very widely known. The coldbloods have made several attempts to establish a base on this planet, and only one has ever succeeded. This base is a small, shiny metal city run almost entirely by robots. However, the coldbloods somehow left and forgot about it, so the city has degenerated into a sort of ghost town. The robots are beginning to wear out, and everything is covered in a layer of dust (who knows where that came from?).
Scouting missions from both the warm- and cold-blooded sides are frequently directed here, so there are usually a few units wandering around the jungles at any given time. One thing they must be wary about, though, is the booby-trapped Zone. No one knows where the Zone is. Dead men tell no tales, though cowards may spread rumors.
