speciblooms - official species guide

Instructions

edit: the species will open/close its status depending on what we feel like suits it best! this will be altered whenever there is an event! status: SPECIES IS NOW CLOSED. this is only on scratch because i have nowhere else to put this. the species will mostly be on toyhou.se and maybe deviantart some more facts about this species that aren't mentioned here: -speciblooms' antlers/horns exist as a defense mechanism, as they tend to be smaller than their fully mammalian counterparts and need to have sharp features in order to fend off larger, intimidating creatures. some have no need for these horns, although this is rare and can be considered a mutation. glowing eyes are also a defense mechanism, but can aid wild speciblooms that live in caverns or need to spend time in the depths of ocean abysses. -speciblooms are obedient and intelligent creatures. they were bred originally by humans, which explains some of their more superficial aspects. there are wild populations of speciblooms dispersed throughout the world, but they tend to elude the eyeshot of foreign humans. -humans raised speciblooms to use their plants as cash crops (i.e. lulu's lotuses are used in a traditional lotus-paste bun that is sold at local food vendors). they can also use them as a replacement for human service, as they are dexterous and nimble. plants can have purposes aside from cultivation: they help wild speciblooms to camouflage and can be repurposed as a supply of emergency provisions and/or healing herbs. -the metallic plasma that circulates through a specibloom's veins is an excellent conductor of heat, which their fur helps to insulate. this can help plants grow if the weather is gloomy or otherwise inhospitable. -while extremely rare, some speciblooms whose jelly is especially fertile can temporarily become a host for primitive animals to dwell on (i.e. barnacles, starfish, etc.). some can even house fish, though this is NEVER a part of their permanent design. features other than plants, algae, and fungi should be used sparingly. -occupations for speciblooms include guides (bioluminescent variations who act as oracles for other speciblooms and can lead them to a specific destination, such as a sunken treasure or a long lost sibling), exterminators (strong and agile speciblooms who often go on dangerous missions in urban areas to defeat evil and regulate invasive species), and assistants (including hotel/resort workers, very obedient and have strong work ethic).
