The Kaon Loper is a long-limbed amphibian native to the dense canopy of the Tropical Forest in the Asari Region of the Habitual Belt on VOI 700 D. The Kaon Loper is revered by the Trando Tribe as a forest spirit. It was first documented during the early Exohuman surveys of the Beta Age before the Peace Treaty restricted access to tribal regions.
