Press that flag over there :) Space for the reference. ...~Information on Arikottrs~... These creatures live in unexplored rain forests at the moment, and because of this, they are often mistaken as brightly colored birds of paradise. But make no mistake, these are not birds, they are DRAGONS. They are descended from an evolution of a cross between a fruit bat and a bird (or something like that idk XD). They resemble normal everyday cats in size, and like them have retractable claws that are hidden under large amounts of fluff. The front of their face has developed plate-like amour, which are made of hard cartilage. While they are young these plates are softer and more flexible. The fifth plate usually grows longer sides, so they look like horns. These horns can vary in size (they might look like deer antlers or other variations). Other parts of cartilage can dot the face like freckles or eyebrows. Eye color can be anything from brown to purple to a rainbow mix. Tail feathers only have 2-3 layers, and two of them extend past the others like the two-tailed hummingbird's. Their wings resemble a cross between an eagle and a sparrow's. They may or may not have feathers on their ears. Fur colors can vary, but are usually natural (no neon), and based off of already-existing creatures. If anyone wants to make their own character off of this species they may, but I'd like you to ask me first and give credit once you do. Thank you! :)
This is Talea (pronounced TAH-LEE-UH)! She is a new species of dragon known as Arikottr (meaning Eagle Cat in Old Norse (pronounced AH-RI-KAH-TUR)) that I have just created :) I've patterned her after a blue jay, but other dragons from this species may be patterned off of butterflies as well as birds. ((This species may be used by others if they wish, but ONLY after they've asked for my permission first.))
