Viluporyx is both a singular and plural term. Similar to snakes, a group of viluporyx can be referred to as a nest. Viluporyx 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"). 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 (due to passive soaring wings) - Horns can be used to impale things - Forked tongue for tropotaxis and long, pointed ears that can move independently - 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 to allow greater traction while climbing - 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Art: @StarlightWolf07 (but background is from Carrd, and some examples are made by others - mentioned in their costume names) Coding: @StarlightWolf07, @CS_Iewis (wobble code), @minirag (smooth glide code) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- See my characters here: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Originally posted January 2nd, 2024.
