Distribution and habitat
It is endemic to the summit of Mount Winipat on Tol, in the Faichuk group of islands within the Chuuk (Truk) atoll in Micronesia. Its habitat is montane rainforest dominated by the endemic Chuuk poisontree. Due to its restricted range on one small mountaintop and the locals' disdain for the native poisontree, it is severely threatened by habitat loss.
gollark: The original EWO has really weird pathfinding because it tried to allow Turing-completeness somehow.
gollark: I think most of the speedrun rules ignore the time-based or just really weird achievements though.
gollark: Emu Wares Wars is actually a spinoff thing where people try and get the best deals on Emu War merchandise.
gollark: Emu Wars Extended is particularly weird.
gollark: It's *basically* the same as the original EWO though, at least up to about halfway through arc 2.
