Description
Entries for the april prompt of the species Yevat: www.deviantart.com/yokamyceliu…Very rough, and terribly incorrect. Below, a brief description for each of them (apologies for any error that might be present).
1 - Rabbia: These creatures have no eyes, and sense the space around them via smells, vibrations and temperature. This allow them to hunt indifferently during day or night. They spend most of the time underground, but have no problems to go outside, tho they don't like to stay too long under the sun. Are more easily spotted in jungles biomes, or undergrounds. In the desert, they usually prefer to go outside during the coolest hours; to move during the hot hours they alternate short exposed distants to cooler traits undergrounds, and the desert packs know many of such routs and teach them to their offsprings-
Females are thinner, have shorter fangs but longer tails, the bone structures that compone their nose are pointer and their hood presents two angles; the sting on the tail is poisonous
Males have more muscles, shorter tail, curved hoods, and a larger bone nose; their fangs are bigger, and the sting isn't poisonous but can still cause burning pain if it hurts you.
Females lay eggs which have a surface that mimics gravels, to easily hide them. Cubs have a very short tail, smooth bone nose, and the frontal pair of libs is underdeveloped at birth; their sting produces wounds extremily painful so approach them at your risk. Extremily easy to bite strangers.
Adults height is around 75-100 cm; they are easily irritable so approach with caution. Usually move in small packs, if you see a solitary creature the rest of the group is probably near so watch your back. They like fast creatures, and play with them running at their side; unfortunately the game often ends in an hunt.
Since the extreme difficulty to approach cubs, is often more easy to tame adults, maybe through little gifts and food.
2 - Coprolite: Bugs, live in any condition due to their great adaptability: their digestive system recover almost 90% of what they eat, thanks to repetitive digestion of the intakes; the drosses are expelled through a fissure on the back of the insect, and are compacted in structures that, with time, covers the top of the bug, providing a good camouflage.
Desertic species have an harder back-structure, due to the harsh conditions of the territory (all nutrients are extrated from the food, nothing goes waste; therefore the resulting drosses are extremilty compacted and are shaped by the wind and sand). In moister hambients the dross structure is laxer, and assume a more curved shape; also, can become a good groth ground for small plants and flowers, that casually ends on the back of the insect or that are pu there by the bug itself to hide between the plants. If the ground is rich in metal, theback structure assume a metallic aspect and the single dross elements are thinner and elongated.
Desert nomads leart to taste the drosses backs of the desert bugs, to get the chracteristics of the territory they're travelling through (if there's green, or water, etc..). The insects can also be used as living jewels (if nourish with some metal) or flowery accessories, both alive or dead, depending on your preferences.
But you understand that's still shit, even if pratically sterile, do you?
3 - Goccia: Extremily colored creatures, live in moist and overground hambient. Move around floating in the air, thanks to their "wings"; they easily stick on all surface. Have four pair of eyes (tho they smaller one is almost vestigial, sometimes newborns don't have it); and have a small organelle on the top of the head, to sense vibes. There're no sex distintions, it's sufficient two of them to give birth to a new one.
Nice to look at, graceful, not much else to say; give them food and they'll love and follow you everywere.
4 - Scintilla: Strange creatures that move around on their principal arms. They are covered with a short-medium lenght fur. Some fur fibers are specilized and can release a soft light; males present this kind of fibers scattered all over the body, while female just only in specific portions: the principal areas characterized with these fibers are the top and back of the head, the neck, the tip of the shoulders and the begin and the tip of the tail. Males are capable of producing a more intense light than females. Courtship consists for the male in a show of lights, at night time, moving the tail in sinuous dances (left bottom figure)
When feeling in danger these creatures try to scare the enemy and assume a treatening pose, growl, raise the fur and position the tail behind them in and arc trying to look bigger, and emit light (bottom right figure)
Cubs are very little and have an extemily soft fluff. Adult males are a little bigger than females. They're playful animals, and good hunters for small-medium creatures.
Their original habitat is underground, but they adapted to live outside on trees too, due to domisticated individuals taken above the ground.
5 - Luxia: A strange kind of worm/snail that lives underground, able to emit light from its "eye" as a way to partially release the drosses produced during the digestions. Light is constantly produced, since it's the result of a long process; unless an individual does not eat for days, and so only after a prolonged fasting the light emission stops. Drosses are also ejected trough the skin, which keeps it constantly moist.
The head of the creature comes in many different shapes, due to mutations that with time had remained in the population. The false eye is covered by a trasparent surface, that loks like a teardrop insert into the hole of the head. Males and females do not exist, a fertile individual depose eggs and another fertilise them walking over the eggs. The tads emerge from the eggs after a short period, and mature quickly mature into the adult form. With time, the drosses disperse through the skin start to accumulate on the creautre surface, forming a layer that thicker with time and that makes the creature slower and slower, till it's impossible for it to moves and therefore feed, and die after some time. Light is still emitted for days after the death. It's said that, somewhere, in the deepest layers underground, it exists a cemetery of these creature, where they go to die and gather in stalactites that still emict lights.
