'''Eudemon''', officially known to the [[UNSC]] as "'''X49-05'''", is a [[Natural satellite|satellite]] orbiting an unknown [[planet]] and a [[Unified Earth Government]] [[Human colonies|colony]]{{Ref/Reuse|bulletin}} in the [[Farfield system]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

==Overview==
[[File:H4-Erosion Ecology.png|The bioluminescent life of Eudemon's caverns.|thumb|250px|left]]
===Environmental features===
The moon is oxygen rich, has plentiful [[water]], and is filled with life, making it comparable to [[Earth]]'s makeup. However, the moon's tectonic activity is irregular and problematic.{{Ref/Reuse|h4evg}}

===Ecology===
Some cavern-dwelling species on Eudemon exhibit bioluminescence; large mats of glowing microorganisms grow in shallow waters and near-water surfaces within Eudemon's caverns. They are complemented by a species of massive fungi that grow at least 17 meters high with a cap at least 13 meters across.{{Ref/File|Id=H4EK|H4EK|tags\levels\multi\ca_forge_erosion\extra_mushrooms_ca_erosion_mushroom_a100-mushroom_a_low1shape}} They grow alongside 2 meter shelf lichens, and 2 meter ball fungi, which exhibit the same bioluminescence, possibly indicating a symbiotic relationship with the microorganisms. Eudemon also hosts multiple species of grass, moss, ivy, and trees. Buildings on Eudemon exhibit cryptogam growth.{{Ref/Map|Id=H4E|H4|Erosion}}

Eudemon is home to a species of [[Space bird|bird]] found across many human planets.{{Ref/Reuse|H4E}}

==History==
===Postwar===
It was discovered by a pioneer group after the [[Human-Covenant War]], and considered a lucky find; however, concerns remained about the moon's structural integrity.{{Ref/Reuse|bulletin}} Research teams were deployed into the moons cavernous interiors.{{Ref/Book|Id=h4evg|H4EVG|Page=218}} The moon was nevertheless colonized in [[2554]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

A [[Erosion|simulation of a cave]] found on the moon was later used by the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}'s [[SPARTAN-IV Program|SPARTAN-IV]] complement for training.{{Ref/Site|Id=bulletin|URL=http://blogs.halowaypoint.com/Headlines/post/2012/10/25/The-Halo-Bulletin-102512-.aspx|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=The Halo Bulletin: 10.25.12|D=16|M=11|Y=2012}}

==Trivia==
