Scratch absolutely ruined the quality, but the bolded (important) words should still be easy enough to read. ✧ ✧ ✧ VILUPORYX [pronounced vye-loo-pour-ix] A deadly amalgamation of predatory traits, viluporyx' species name is a mixture of the words "vipera" (latin word for viper), "lupus" (latin word for wolf), and "oryx" (a type of antelope). Viluporyx is both a singular and plural term. Similar to snakes, a group of viluporyx can be referred to as a nest. View the species info in this project for important species information, and be sure to check out the TOS! As I mentioned, viluporyx now have their own website, so go check that out, spread the word, and have fun! Quick Traits: - A mix of prey and predatory traits - Very fluffy to endure territory's cold and mountainous regions - Fangs that fold in when mouth is closed and secrete a deadly neurotoxin - Expert climber and runner but can only fly rather leisurely or as a sort of double-jump boost (due to rather weak wings) - Horns can be used to impale things - Forked tongue for tropotaxis - Long, pointed ears that can move independently; naturally held in a horizontal position - Whisker-like lip protrusions to detect blood flow/veins and find the perfect area to bite - Nose is similar to a wolf's in scent detecting but the shape is reminiscent of a leaf-nosed bat - 11 rectangular paw pads and unique hoof shape - Tail bones can poke through the scaly tail to inject venom as a last resort - Near-human level intelligence but finds more value in strength and prefers a loner-style wild life focused on physical abilities - Choose mates based on strength and/or horn size; both parents make a nest and take care of pups, which can eat soft food of plants or meat immediately - Generally have names that are a somewhat complicated/hard to pronounce mash-up of other species (ex. "ibekex", a mix of "ibex" and "snake"; or "liwk", a mix of "lizard" and "hawk") ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Art: (but background is from Carrd, and some examples are made by others - mentioned in their costume names) Coding: , (wobble code), (smooth glide code) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- See my characters here: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Originally posted January 2nd, 2024.
