Description
I've had this boring looking erebus reference sheet around for a bit, and I decided to upload it.
Some aspects of the erebus aren't so important, like the thickness of the ears determining gender, that's just something I do.
Erebus belong to I Irabus
Common traits are free for anyone to draw, but erebus with rarer traits tend to be customs or adoptables.
Erebus are a mimicking species, and they can change their physical appearance and colour to resemble things they see. It's a part of their hunting technique, luring curious adults and children, gaining their trust or outright killing them. They don't eat the body, but instead collect the soul. They store human souls in their throat, eventually emptying them into the hollow of a tree, which will take them to "The Pale Between" which is kinda like a purgatory.
The more talented erebus can take human forms, becoming what I call ereladies and ereboys. They don't look very human, and still have their mask, ears and tail.
Less experienced erebus just create a random pattern on themselves and hope it attracts something. Older, more confident erebus don't even use their mimicry, and simply attack.
A lot of erebus have a favourite set of colours or animal they like to mimic, and often stick to it.
Erebus that aren't mimicking are a solid black. Erelits (Erebus cubs) are all black, because they haven't learned to mimic.
Attributes:
Wolf-life form
Long, black velvety ears
All erebus originate from a single erebus called Ereliste or "Mother" or "The Original"
Young erebus are called erelits
Behavior:
Erebus are generally very hostile
They do not have packs, and are lone, wandering creatures
Erebus reproduce my a male and a female merging two human souls together, which in turn creates an erebus soul, which is broken and mangled
Erebus are born to kill, but an erebus can be good if taken away from its mother. If an erebus sees its reflection at a young age, it is able to act out of orders
Erebus females take care of the erelit for about three weeks. Then she leaves them to manage on their own after she has taught them how to hunt
Sub-Species CLOSED:
- Erstewhile are defective erebus. They are larger and stronger. They have fur going over their masks and they have coloured eyes
- Dark erebus are a much more powerful erebus. They can easily change their colours and form. Their masks are inverted (white on black)
-
If you have any questions, please ask!

Apologies for the delayed reply! Only way you can get a Dusk Erebus at the moment is through a custom from me, which is $5USD/500.

Erebus commonly dwell in deep parts of forests, where it's shadowy and less populated by other creatures. When hunting, they will venture near villages, but tend to stay out of sight. They are very rarely seen out in the open. I hope that helped a little, if you have any more questions just ask!
