Summary
Greeps are pests that roam the streets of Nodd.
Physiology
Greeps are small, superficially bird-like creatures. They have a four-part mouth and wingless, fleshy body. They walk on two legs, and have no eyes or ears to speak of.
Habitat
Greeps are mostly present within the city itself, and congregate in particularly filthy areas. It's rare to find them outside the city, where they'd likely be immediately snatched up by a roving predator.
Reproduction
Both sexes have a cloaca; the male lacks a penis, and mates via cloacal kiss.
Greeps reproduce rapidly, and are culled regularly. Females lay a clutch of around twelve small, round slimy eggs.
Behavior
Greeps are nearly mindless creatures that waddle aimlessly through the streets of Nodd. They nest in the piles of garbage that end up heaped against the sides of buildings and walls.
Greeps are not aggressive, and will simply flail and honk if antagonized. They seem to forget about the incident seconds later.
Diet
Greeps eat mostly insects and garbage, along with any food scraps thrown to them by citizens. It's not uncommon to see a flock of greeps gathered outside restaurants.
Common Uses
Greeps are considered pests, but are also used as food. As a food item, greep may be colloquially referred to as “chicken”.
