Nailie

My Nailie is the cutest one around.

— A proud owner

The Nailies is a somewhat common pet on The Station. It’s a bred hybrid between Qilies and Napanalini. The Napanalini were also native to the planet of Areu but were extinct when the Dragons arrived but there were dna samples on The Station.
This species came into being around year 598 AR when a couple of scientists tried to breed a Napanalini and a Qilie. At first the children of this pairing could not produce viable offspring, but after a bit of gene tinker the scientists managed to breed this new species.
The Nailie enjoys traveling around by riding on their owners shoulders.
