One other form of life on Koppai is suggested to heavily resemble Earth ducks, seeing as rubber duckies such as Charlie's are normal to Koppaites. Although their appearances and biology are not known, it is known that Koppai has dogs and/or ducks: [[Minor characters#Charlie's pet|Charlie's pet]] is stated to be a dog in the US [[Region|version]], whereas it is stated to be a duck in the European version. At one point, Brittany also mentions geese on Koppai, and her notes on the [[Scaly Custard]] suggest the existence of reptiles there. The flora on Koppai must contain some resemblances to that of PNF-404, since the [[leader]]s can identify a [[lily pad]] and misidentify the [[Formidable Oak]] on PNF-404. | One other form of life on Koppai is suggested to heavily resemble Earth ducks, seeing as rubber duckies such as Charlie's are normal to Koppaites.

Koppaites are the dominant species found on Koppai. They stand around the size of a nickel, the same general size of a Hocotatian. Unlike Hocotatians, however, Koppaites seem to grow more hair on their heads, have smaller noses, and eyes that appear to be wide open at all times; whereas a Hocotatian's eyes appear small, squinted, and black normally, but widen into a more circular shape to expose their irises when startled. Koppaites also have smaller ears that are rounded at the ends, as opposed to the Hocotatians' broader, pointed ones. | |||
Another trait that sets Koppaites apart from Hocotatians is that Koppaites are able to breath oxygen. However, they must still wear a protective suit while on the surface of [[PNF-404]] because its oxygen levels are three times higher than that of Koppai's. | |||
Koppaites are also only capable of metabolizing a substance called Piktamin U. It is explained by [[Brittany]] that [[Pikpik Carrot]]s do not contain Piktamin U, which is the reason why [[Hocotate Freight]] could not help with Koppai's food crisis. Fortunately, the massive fruits found on PNF-404 contain large amounts of this substance. | |||
One of [[Alph]]'s dialogues seems to indicate that the Koppaite brain does not produce the hunger-appeasing hormone [[wikipedia:Leptin|leptin]], meaning Koppaites can and will continuously eat without ever feeling full; this problem was one of the reasons they have fallen into a famine. | |||
It is possible, though not confirmed, that Koppaites might be a related species to Hocotatians, but adapted to a different environment. | |||
