Homo Avis: Engel and Plume’s Species
Working on creating a fandomless species for my bird-people characters. This includes my characters Engel, Plume, Caleb, and Stolas.
Scientific name: Homo avis
Common name: Avian
Meaning: “Bird-like man”
Social structures: Avians can either be social creatures, living in large flocks that can have as many as 200 members, or in pairs. The only time an avian may be alone is when they chose to leave a flock to join another, exiled members, or individuals seeking to start their own flock.
Parents and chicks form bonds that can be lifelong. Even when the chicks have reached adulthood and fledged, they will assist in raising new chicks their parents are tending.
Temperament: Just like humans, Avians can have a range of personalities. They display many of their emotions with wing poses/movements, tail and feather displays, varying vocalizations, and in some groups through the use of stance and movements.
Certain groups are known for being more aggressive, especially if they are “raptors”. These avian members are carnivores and often stick to their own flocks only. Omnivorous and fruitarians tend to be more lax in nature, especially around non avian species.
Nesting Habits: Avians can have 1-3 eggs at one time. The eggs develop inside the mother for 3 months, before laying them. Once laid, the parents take turns keeping them warm for nearly 3 more months. This gives the growing chick inside a chance to grow stronger than a typical human infant would in development. However, these last three months are crucial. Only one or two eggs manage to successfully hatch. The more eggs laid equals a higher chance of mortality due to smaller sizes and individual care.
Once the eggs hatch, it is not uncommon for several mothers to combine their broods. They then share equal parenting over the chicks. The males are most likely to care for only their chicks however.
Appearance: Avians can range in the structure of their feathers and colors. Some are still adapted to camouflage, while others can be brightly colored. Some are even dull colored, such as gray’s and blacks, to vivid stark white. Patterns can vary from individual to individual as well. Typically all Avians have a form of tail with feathers, may it be standard bird feathers, to feathers like a peacock, to whip-like tails with 1 to multiple feathers at the end.
Shadics basically look like animals, sometimes a mixture of animals, like, a Shadic can have a wolf like head, but have ears and tail like a panther, or look like a bear but have a long bushy tail. Some look like lizards and dragons, others like mice and otters, but they all have black, shadowy skin that covers them from head to toe. If they have color, then that means they have an elemental power, but th power depends on what patterns of colors they’ll have (ex: Fire elementals have red wisps, normally near their heads or on their necks and arms, water elementals have wavy markings on their sides and claws, plant based elementals have leaf/vine like markings on their upper arms and tails, etc)
Most Shadics range from 6′ all th way up to a total of 8 or 9 feet, but there are th rare short Shadics, who can be about 5 feet in height, and normally, those types look like small animals, like rabbits or lemurs
A bit of an art dump with my Neobïk alien species ♡
(And Ninko, the oni in the first drawing, who belongs to @/taiyonnii on instagram)
I'd love to elaborate on all of this
But I'm lazy, lol
And the Deus of the Arcana, the most powerful Deity in the Endey universe.
I've made this like... weeks ago, back in January... But this is my new species of dragon. They are a race of Tundric Dragons, which means they live in frozen plains. Their scientific name is actually 'Tesca Draconis'. The males are actually smaller than the females once their full size is attained. Their fur is very soft and is used to cover their young, who are small, but grow really fast. Every dragon comes in a variety of different tones of blue, the most common being a pale ice blue like the one above.
