Description

Ecology

The diet of Doto alidrisi is currently unknown.

gollark: Yes, that's it.
gollark: Now to basically just reimplement my itemduct-based inscribertron on top of AE2 for no good reason.
gollark: I've forgotten. I think it involved a hammer or something.
gollark: I don't like woot much due to the fact that it completely broke backwards compatibility for 1.12, and decided to implement a SPESHUL crafting mechanic for no good reason.
gollark: They have lots of lead in them.
