Category:Xenopoda

Xenopoda (Baaphomett, SD2014), otherwise known as "xenogenders", are a subphylum of Generata which are characterized by the adaptation of their abilities for mimicry. It's the most diverse branch of Generata, only somewhat matched by Multipoda, which is its closest relative. Xenopoda has the superclass Nomaphyla, which is most known for mimicking animals, plants, and objects (and which includes the classes Faunarata, Florarata, Alterata, and Objectorata). Xenopoda also contains the classes Neurophyla (which mimic in such a way as to purposefully confuse other beings) and Tikophyla (which mimic sensations and ideas instead of anything physical). Xenopoda live all over Asteria, and they are the main inhabitants of Iris, the rainforest covering northern Cybele, as well as Voltura, Asteria's largest ocean.

History
Xenopoda comes from Greek xenos, meaning "stranger" or "foreigner", and Greek pous, meaning "foot". It was named and classified by mogaiologist Baaphomett in SD2014. Prior to its creation, Alterata and Neurophyla were their own seperate classes, and Tikophyla was lumped together with Nomaphyla.
