Please enter a description:<a href=gallery/kooshkic.gif><img src=gallery/koos-tmb.gif align=right></a> Kooshkies are strange creatures found in the Sea of Sand that "swim" through the sand at high speeds by means of semi-prehensile flagellate limbs that radiate out from their tiny core bodies. Their means of reproduction and of sustenance is as of yet unknown and defiant of study, as Kooshkies unfortunately do not survive for long in captivity.<p> While they normally travel just under the surface of the sand, they are also capable of leaping considerable distances and bouncing or even rolling along the dunes. They are playful creatures at times, apparently showing affection to each other by bounding into the air and crashing into each other, making a distinctive "koosh" sound when they do so. Otherwise, they are completely silent.<p> Largely, the Kooshkies are prey to various desert denizens, but teams of them may be captured and trained by Nohbakims to draw Kooshkie Sleds. At times, Kooshkie sleds can be seen trailing across the desert, drawn by unseen mounts, with a Nohbakim standing on the sled, cracking a whip in the air and yelling, "Hooska, Kooshkies! Hooska!" The word "Hooska" appears to have no other use in the language of the Nohbakim, and its meaning is not even known for sure by the Nohbakim (though they are never short on opinions).
