Description

Common Name: Enfield

Scientific Name: Defluxivulpeculae callidae (cunning little gliding fox)

Length: 3.5 feet

Wingspan: 5 feet

Weight:  2.5 pounds

Diet: Carnivorous

Biology

Enfields are a small arboreal species of Dracoforme. They are distantly related to the much larger wyvern. Enfields have a wingspan of 5 feet and are hexopodal. The fore wings are used for propulsion and the hind wings for altitude control and additional take-off propulsion. On their fore wings, they have a large claw which is used for climbing and killing. The hind wings also have claws which the enfield uses to grip the tree when climbing. Enfields have two air sacs in its torso and hollow, yet very strong, bones that reduce its weight.  Despite having a reptilian appearance, the enfield is warm blooded. Its metabolism is like earth’s flying animals and generates a lot of heat.  To avoid overheating, the enfield breathes through its mouth and two air inlets located at the front of the chest cavity. This increases oxygen intake and cooling.

Habitat

Forest and jungle regions

 

Hunting behavior

Enfields are arboreal predators. They glide from tree to tree in search of prey. When prey is spotted they silently glide on top them and pin them to a tree. They then sting the victim to prevent a struggle. Death comes in seconds. Enfields eat their prey in trees to avoid larger predators.

Enfields also eat aquatic life. They skim the water, much like their larger cousins, and when prey is captured they immediately kill it by stinging it.   


Description

Common Name: Seraph

Scientific Name: Milvus ostrum (purple kite)

Length: 1.5 feet

Wingspan: 1 foot

Weight:  .25 pounds

Diet: Liquivore

Biology

Seraphs are small raylike flyers that are a bright shade of purple with a blue underbelly. The common name seraph was given to this creature for its six wings. The front 4 wings have digits that act like fingers and the bottom 2 resemble the shape of butterfly wings. The bright purple color of the digits is used for camouflage resembling certain Freyjian plants. Like many other Freyjian creatures, Seraphs have an air sac in their torso which reduces weight. Seraphs eat bioluminescent moss and drink dew and sap

Isn't this the small parrot looking thing from James Cameron's "Avatar" ?

This is a creature I made for my Freyja series a while back. I just decided to redo it in an environment.
