Gallor

A common sight in swamps and jungles, gallors are large hills that appear to be completely hollowed out naturally. They are commonly used to hide small settlements owned by local tribes in these environments, being transformed into well defended hideouts.   There are roughly 590 gallors in Sarabar Swamp alone, and 278 of them have been infested with giant wasps. In Cau'Le Forest, there is a whopping 789 of them, and 342 are believed to be infested with sabertooth spiders. The exact numbers are hard to count, but it is believed to be about 94% accurate.

Geography

Gallors form an almost perfect sphere, encased in a layer of dirt and grass. The dirt is mineral rich, with lots of plant life growing on top. The broken gravity allows giant trees to be grown on top of the gallor. The ground inside is slightly wet depending on where the gallor is, and there are small puddles as well as roots that don't seem to connect to any tree.

Ecosystem

Gallors not already inhabited by people tend to get completely filled with insects, more often than not you'll find a giant wasp nest or a colony of sabertooth spiders have completely taken over the gallor. During rainy season, the empty gallors can often find itself inhabited temporarily by many mammals, birds and other insects.

Fauna & Flora

Quite often in gallors, you'll find one completely taken over and transformed into a nest or colony for a megafauna, or mostly giant insects and invertebrates. The two most common insects and invertebrates to take over these gallors are giant wasps and sabertooth spiders, in the swamps and jungles respectively. These gallor entrances are designed by the creatures to entice prey, and the insides are full of mazes created by the creatures to trap the prey. Getting caught in a nest would not be fun, because there is no chance you are getting out and every chance you'll be eaten.

Tourism

Often gallors are an important sight when on a tour through the jungles. Many foreign visitors find gallors fascinating, and are dying to visit one while they're in the area. Jungle safaris often tour round many gallors.
