Suggested nameHedosa
Planet typeTerrestrial
It is the second-brightest natural object in the night sky after Guryo, reaching an apparent magnitude of -5 - bright enough to cast shadows at night and, rarely, visible to the naked eye in broad daylight.

It is a terrestrial planet with a mass one-thousandth that of K2-318, but two-and-a-half times that of all the other planets in its solar system combined. It is the coldest planetary atmosphere in its solar system, with a minimum temperature of 65°K (-208°C), and has a complex, layered cloud structure with water thought to make up the lowest clouds, and carbon dioxide the uppermost layer of clouds. The planet is named after the deity Hedosa, the goddess of destruction.

Hedosa is by far the hottest planet in its solar system, with a mean surface temperature of 696°K (423°C).

Liquid water cannot exist on the surface of Hedosa due to low atmospheric pressure, which is less than 8 percent of Guryo's, except at the lowest elevations for limited periods.

Because of its fast rotation, the planet's shape is that of an oblate spheroid (it has a slight but noticeable bulge around the equator).

Planet is populated by strange and ultra advanced plants called the "Bikito Hyo". They survive on the surface by killing another species called Hyukyu-gyabyu that lives there. They are believed to be related to Bukona and have scales and vary in size from 40 to 50 cm. The Bikito Hyo are known to thrive at temperatures from -80 to -20°C but are killed by the acidic environment which is common near the poles.
