Mercury is the second hottest planet in our solar system. It has little gravity meaning it is unable to hold onto its atmosphere. Gases from Mercury are constantly being carried into space by solar winds; however, they are replenished by the same solar winds, radioactive decay and dust caused by micrometeorites

The Zatwat is the most common creature found on Mercury. It has the head and arms of a common beetle and body of a snake. It is as long as your forearm and as skinny as your thumb. The Zatwat burrows its head into the warm craters of Mercury as it has a low blood temperature. It creates its food with a photosynthesis like procedure with scales on its back. At times Zatwats can be cannibalistic but tend to stay to themselves and their craters.
