Suggested nameElgel
Planet typeHot gas giant
It has the densest atmosphere of the known hot gas giants, consisting of huge amounts of methane.

problematic ride.

The cruel oceans are occupied by harmless yet primordial plants, the "Surthe", that spend their life in caves by consuming the somewhat smaller "Thydi-pho" if they can. Most Surthe are related to the Keone Skamoon but have wings and vary in size from 40 to 100 cm. The Surthe are able to live at temperatures from 80 to 120°C and also drought.
