These companions are extremely social, and it's rare to see less than five of them at once. Ikantans are very vocal companions, and chatter at one another almost constantly. Though there appears to be no hierarchy, ikantans will get in squabbles and chase each other around for hours. A common fighting tactic among them is tripping their opponent, often into mud. Humans avoid engaging ikantans in games for this very reason. When not busy socializing or hunting for food, adult ikantans are busy fussing with their homes. These nests are tucked away in the hollows of trees and lined with soft leaves. Soft scraps of cloth are also used, but only in muted colors. Hatchlings will remain in these nests until they are able to care for themselves, at which point they explore freely. They are never let out of sight, though. Should a hatchling appear to be in danger, a nearby adult will come to their rescue. The little ones remain small for a long time, so it is easy enough for an adult ikantan to carry them off by the fur on their necks. Both male and female ikantans care for hatchlings, and distribute tasks evenly. The two genders are alike in size and intelligence, and the only way to differentiate between them are by their gems. While females possess bright blue gems, the males have red. Other than this, their markings are the same – stripes down their backs, with tufted tails and ears.

Yea, it uses the original descriptions. I forgot that was in there.

I have asked for that to be changed.

Oh, looks like the gender sprites got reversed for the Glacier ones.

The doni Ikantans the males were the crouching ones (with the red gems) while the females were the ones standing up(with blue gems). 8-community-discussion/163092-ikantan-m ... -pets.html

On the Glacier ones it's the other way around, the crouchers with red/pink gems are female and the standing ones with blue gems are male

[Reima]

Hmmmm.... Has it been stated anywhere if they'll be able to breed?

[RobotChimera]

Hmmmm.... Has it been stated anywhere if they'll be able to breed?

Creature Release news said yes.

The idea of doni recolors is pretty cool.
