Description

OUTDATED



TEMPORARY OPEN SPECIES, NOW CLOSED
yup...another species....
Better image: Silence the Vulupdra by inkblot-wolf

No name just yet: Name suggestions appreciated

Mix of wolf/fox/dragon and deer

Size: Fully grown, about the size of a lion (height wise), but some may not reach that size
Lifespan: from 100 to over 1000 years less if they lose their pearl/bell


○ Species always possesses a mask and either a magical bell or pearl, either around their necks or tails, unless raised in captivity.
○ Mask and pearl come from the parents, from breaking a small part of their own which magically become a one for their offspring before they are made to leave on their own. Pearl/bells regenerate after this happens
○ They always wear a mask of some sort. The mask is made from magic. When part of mask is given to an offspring, it forms into one that would suit the individual and remain like that permanently. Mask can be removed but it is considered rude
○ They will lose their powers if they lose their magic pearl or bell. They only can ever have one of these as they a 'handed' down.
    If lost, they can not replace it with another one. They must find it or lose their abilities forever
○ Pearls or bells can not be destroyed only lost. They magically regenerate if damage
○ Pearls/bells not only give them elemental abiltities but also help with flight and illusions.
○ Limited ability of flight and illusions. These are mostly for short travel and protection.
○ Thought to have transformation abilities, but this may either be a well done/ half assed illusion(ears/tail/antler remains) or true transformation
○ True transformations are rare. Those who can transform for real either achieve a anthropomorphic appearance or a more human appearance( both ears, antlers and their tail. Nails tend to be sharp. Some may have patches of skin in the same colour as fur). They will often use illusions to give them a fuller human appearance.
○ Species are rather intelligent and able to understand and read various human language and that of other species.
○ Communication -yips, barks, whines, howls, roars. Also with help of magical items they can speak human languages (item acts as translator)
○ Species hatch from a pearl like egg, roughly the size of a snake egg. They start of being very small in size but will grow very quickly in first few weeks till the size of a small dog, then they will grow at a slower pace.
   Eggs are considered to be highly valuable to many beings. Females will lay up to 2-4 eggs every 50 years
○ Female antlers are smaller then males
○ Species will have control/attributes/powers of one of five elements. Fire,water,wood,earth,metal. THEY ONLY HAVE ONE ELEMENT
○ Often will take to guarding certain areas such as forest, sacred grounds, homes, rivers or caves.
○ Can only be domesticated if raised right after being hatched. These rarely have masks or pearls/bell since they will not have their parents to give it to them
º mask can be any design/type. bells tend to be round type
○ can be any colour and patterns or marking may sometime occur
○ Back paws are clawed
○ Cubs when born will have some scales, which drop off after the first few weeks. in rare cases scales will remain



Traits:
Common:
(anything not mentioned in rare is classified as common)

Rare:
- Anthro or humaniod transformation
-  Patches of scales
-  Maskless or pearless/belless "wild" Vulupdras.
- Domesticated Vulupdras are rare. As Vulupdras dens are near impossible to find.
 




Wild
Even though they are called wild are not truely wild, but is a term given by humans. Humans believe Vulupdras to be wild animals or in some cultures creatures of either the heavens or demons.
These are the majority, the ones who live among nature.
Some Vuludras who live among nature work and live in communities among other forest dwellers and supernatural beings.
Multiple Vulupdra types are also known to gather to from "working communities" providing items for these beings. Supernatural being have been known to be in close contacts with Vulupdras because of this as wears crafted by them are often much more durable then others

Domesticated:
Vulupdra's raised by beings other then their own species. These are often found on black markets among humans communities.
These if found by "wild" vulupdras will be attacked and often killed.
Domesticated ones do not have the same levels of intelligence of "wild" as humans who are lucky to own one, often treat them on the same level of dogs or cats.
  As a Familiar-
     Not quite classified as Domestic but  Vulupdras who choose to become bonded/team up with other beings (barely with humans though).

Well I think I have a Name for this Species, it is simply "Mimik" because I think they show Emotions through their Masks and maybe the Markings on their Masks change according to their Emotions. If you don´t like that you don´t have to stick to it :)

rawr (well I started to sketch One allready  but I read everything about it yesterday when I faved it :nod:)
