Cliffs and Climbing


Leaellynasaura

Post

 Cliffs would be a landform you could find on islands like the mountains, where it would be a very steep drop that you couldn't just move up with most nichelings. However, if you can fly or have a rock climbing ability, then you could. Rock climbing would also let you use rocks as tree stumps. If caves are added, they would generate frequently near cliffs. When within three tiles of water, you will sometimes find sea bird nests.

+1 Collecting (or speed? Just something to make it otherwise useful)

Creatures

Ibecko

Looks like a gecko, although higher off the ground, has small horns, and the back legs have hooves. The coloration is brown with orange spots. Can be found near cliffs and rocks. Will climb up and down, eating berries that they find, if near cliffs, and will only attack if attacked. However, if a gecko nicheling is hanging onto their cliff, they will sometimes headbutt them off, causing a bit more damage. Provide three or so food when killed.

Kittallow

The Kittallow is a mix in appearance between a cliff swallow and a black-legged kittiwake. They nest in cliffs within three tiles of water, and their nests look like cliff swallow nests. You can raid the nests for food, and you can eat the adults if a nicheling can fly, or if one lands on the cliff. Kittallows will eat fish. Raiding the nest gives about one food point per action, and adults give two, but they spawn in large colonies on Rocky Shores.

Beagurll

The Beagurll is a mix between a bear and a seagull, with a bear-like body that has a seagull coloration and feathers, with a little bit of an orange beak. They live near cliffs, and can climb them, generally eating Kittallows and Ibeckos, although will also eat berries and fish if they run into them. They tend not to attack your nichelings unless they go onto the Beagurll's cliff, and then will continue to attack that creature until they move away. They have a bit more health than a Bearyena, and drop twelve food. On Rocky Shores, they spawn instead of Bearyenas, but elsewhere they are kind of rare.

Island - Rocky Shores

The only spots on this island that have a beach touching the water are the ports. The other edges are cliffs, excluding the occasional small island. Sea birds flock around these cliffs, providing an ample food source if you can reach them. There is a mountain in the middle, which has cliffs as well (basically, it has a bunch of cliffs for climbing creatures). I think it would be a medium island, as berry bushes wouldn't spawn too frequently, and most food will have to be hunted down, although you can easily get that food with the right genes. Flying creatures will spawn a tiny bit more frequently, although are still rare compared to Whale Island. 

Waterfalls

Waterfalls occur when a river is going to flow over a cliff spot. They are mostly decoration, although sometimes caves (if they are added) generate behind them, and provide a bit of a cooling bonus. If multiple connected river tiles are flowing over at one place (like right next to a lake), however, creatures who stand in it have a possibility of getting stunned.

It can climb cliffs, it has climbing

Well, then it could probably prey on them, although the Ibecko or Beagurll might at least try to attack back and defend themselves. The Kittallow could be an easy prey if the Pythadillo gets to their nests above the water. Although, given that your suggestion for the Pythadillo says that their habitat is savannahs, swamps, and jungles, while cliffs would most often appear in the mountains and beaches, an encounter is unlikely.
