Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameWaigwo-hyong
Planet typeHuge cold gas giant
The smooth Borealis basin in the northern hemisphere covers 32 percent of the planet and may be a giant impact feature.

The volume of water ice in the south polar ice cap, if melted, would be sufficient to cover the entire planetary surface to a depth of 9 meters.

A prominent result is the "great brown spot", a giant storm that is known to have existed for centuries since it was first detected by scanner.

The lovely lakes are known for its unpredictable primitive oceanic creatures that survive in the forest while consuming another species called Wenpakyao in the shade. They are not related to the Waihya but have 6 eyes and vary in size from 10 to 13 cm. They are able to withstand temperatures from 100 to 150°C and even near-vacuum which is rare on this planet.
