- +space explorer, due to the fact that they can store oxygen in large pockets, they use it to breathe whilst they do not have a breathable atmosphere or are in space
- +oxygen transfer,they can transfer oxygen through skin contact,as they release it from their skin a d soak it into another brings skin
- -Running out of air,their oxygen is limited to around 6 hours(with average use ,not working hard) or 4 hours of they transfer some to their rider,which will last 4 hours for a average size humanoid(ourániapapilio need double the air) . If they're running out of oxygen they will stop transferring,therefore you will die.
- -Transfer troubles,It takes a lot of practice to transfer properly, so if any faults arise in space itcould kill you almost instantly
- Diet: Omnivore,though mainly eats meat

- General behavior: they dont have much of a 'family life' as eggs are laid and parents leave and the young raise themsthemselves, it is something they know how to do very well as soon as they are born. When rheyre trytrying to find a mate ,Males brings gifts to the female that they like most,this may be food,gems,stones ect if the female likes it they will mate for life.All Ourániapapilio burrow holes in the ground (even the Abyssal variant) and lay eggs.They do not build nest and once they have burrowed they are free to hunt again.again.They are neither noctural or durinal,they are Crepuscular.
This is a newly discovered species so they havent been involved in much,and due to their aggression their discovery hasnt changed that.that.Despite their amazing abilities very few have been tamed, after all very few have been found.However,just like any other creature,galactic events include the, the gulag pluage hit them harder than some other species,due to their abilty to glide through space, and the fact that they breathe through their skin,they were able to catch it a lot easier and it killed the quickly too.After the neither incursion,another galactic events that killed many of their kind,they werent seen for decades and believed to be extinct,luckily whilst visiting a home planet of their, some body sighted one playing around in dome sand.
