spacebar Querest: Querest are now quadruped, and have a minor size debuff. Their evoltion physically focused on their tails and wings, but other than that, mainly they evolved to the brain. They are a deadly, curious creature. Their wings are made of a (now tough) charcoal-like material, (that for sure is not a material on earth) that can now officially enable flight. Their wings became much tougher, since they dont need to cloak, because their essentially an apex now. While in the womb, their bones develop over some places in their body because their skin is also fragile. these in-grown bones serve as protection on the softer area's. They are somewhat susceptible to fire and Wild ones reside in cold highlands and plateau's (they are also commonly found in tundra's and redwood forest-like biomes). They are usually solitary if wild, but if a female is pregnant or raising kids they tend to stick around each other. Their average intelligence when fully grown is at that of the average 16 year old, making them among some of the most intelligent life on teraminos. As long as the following biomes it lives in are on the continent, they can be found on said continent. You'll notice they only have 4 teeth; the teeth are just to grip as its special venom seeps into whatever its grabbing. A querest's venom is special and only starts developing when they are fully grown (so that they don't passively hurt themselves). This liquid venom seeps past the skin, and starts disolving the bone, muscle, and blood after it (this venom gives a blue-ish glow). They dont really have any predators but lone wild ones can be overpowered by large packs of things. They collect skulls of creatures to intimidate said things, but this is also used just for the enjoyment of decoration. When they are adults, their wingspan can stretch up to 52.65 feet in width, according to the largest deceased specimen of these creatures. The other greatest weapon they use is their tail, coated in thorns which it can whip around to send a high speed AOE attack in one direction, usually impaling an important organ or bleeding it out to death. It also wont hesitate to tail slam creatures in close combat. They can run 30 miles an hour but may be slowed due to bone decoration and wingspan. They attach bones by rubbing a sticky saliva like glue between their tail and back torso. Juvenile: Starts hunting alone and is officially old enough to be ridden by cave folk if tamed newborn: defenseless, baby querest. sticks around cave folk or older querest for survival. Cave folk: Cavefolk are a sapient and sentient species inhabiting the caves of terminos, they are the same size as a human, and used to revere the querest as a god, but now use them as mounts and pets, but there is sttill beleif they possess some ritual power. although they live primarily in camps and caves in the deep woods, during the night, a Cavefolk might go on a hunt. during these hunts, they use spears and arrows and other handy tools to their disposal. Some of them wear skull helmets that they killed themselves to passively show off their combat prowess. they hunt anything except querest and longuscollidon. However, if their are multiple and they have enough adult querest mounts, they may try to hunt a longuscollidon, flying from the air and using their throwing spears to impale them. They have open camps, that contain makeshift huts, that seem to resemble houses and a smithy, as well as massive stables. can speak with querests, however, before they started to worship the querest, they had a very different language, this is a quiet language, composed of clicks, whispers, and pops. cavefolk sometimes use glowplant sap as glowing warpaint and usually make querest-like symbols with the sap, they believe the sight of a querest will scare off most creatures. Weapons: Throwing spears: They bring a couple of these on a hunt, their very useful for weakening prey. usually stolen from the gostinceros thingies but can make their own. Hunting glaive: A weapon that looks like a double ended spade. Only cavefolk with extreme skill and exceeding sleight of hand. Their fighting style includes almost a constant motion of spinning the glaive at ridiculous speeds, at particular movements to hit weak points on a creature. an extremely effective killing machine. Carving knife: Mainly a tool used at the smithy, however, cave folk that aren't trained hunters and warriors wield these in like a pouch or pocket or something, because if their foraging and their attacked, they will nee some defense. Makeshift bow: A fine bow made from crude materials. Works though. arrow: bruh "Long Mark" A much more fine made bow made with baby longuscollidon skull. The String is made from an organ found running along the neck of the longuscollidon, which is stretchy but surprisingly strong. The wood are made from younger tree's who's wood is much stronger. Cave folk tribes with these are (continued in notes and credits)
considered by other tribes to have impressive military power. "Zeraph" (name doesn't have any meaning just thought it sounded cool): A special arrow made for the "Long Mark" Bow. Coated with Theranapoda eye which is coated with deceased querest venom, on the inside lies a methane releasing material that is highly explosive. When shot, the flint in the longuscollidon skull will light the querest venom, which is essentially oil. This will sure-fire light the Theranapoda eye on fire. it will pierce through a creatures skin and after 30 seconds the eye will be melted. Whats Fire + Methane? KABOOM. and in the creatures inners, too... brutal... Its a lot of work to go hunt a Theranapoda, Longuscollidon, and even find a deceased querest to get its venom. The result is worth it though. (do note that querest venom is useless when its deceased, it cant do anything cool anymore. it serves only as oil.) "Longuscollission": A greatsword like weapon made of baby longuscollidon neckbone. packs a severe stab, and no skill is really needed, just hack and slash, making it an even more sought-after weapon sinnce you dont have to master it. Cave folk tribes with these are considered by other tribes to have impressive military power. then some art of cave folk with a querest saddle, mounting it and preparing for a hunt. @cs893276 (i can remember the name fully now bc of my alt lol) for the longuscollidon skull and stuff.
