Description Here we are! Yet another image of good ol' Ulli! 

Ullitrius actually resides primarily in ever-expanding swamp-like territory of Ephomeris. Although he does frequently venture out into different waterways to hunt and explore, as he tends to be more abnormally curious than the average Yhosymph. He does actually some interests besides ripping people apart, and will linger in the shallows observing the Meridians, primarily otherworlders, which he is oddly fascinated by. (Going as far as learning to mimic and eventually speak “Common”, the universal language of the otherworlders.) However, he probably would not think twice about ripping them apart if one wandered too close.

Just like Sauvakian and Ephiri, the Symph are capable of bioluminescence. Unlike the other two races of the planet however, Yhosymphs can manipulate the natural light. They possess the ability to switch the light on and off at whim, while the other Meridians only glow during dusk and night hours.

You can't chase down someone if your lit up like a glow stick, now can you?

Funnily enough, the Yhosymph's have the most extensive bioluminescent patterns out of the three races.
The Meridians see the bioluminescence as a sign of their connection to the Ethereal, the spiritual realm which provides the energies that flow through all things. The more bioluminescent one has, the more that being is bound/influenced/connected to the Ethereal.

Due to the stigmas around the Yhosymph, and lack of friendly interaction, (cause really who has time to look when your running for your life) Meridian’s have come to believe the Yhosymph have little to no connection with the Ethereal. So one might imagine the controversy they would cause if others knew of their illumination.

Yhosymph are treated as animals: wicked creatures of with void-like Aura that devour all light. They are to be feared and shunned.

But, then again…monsters aren’t born.

Monsters are created, aren't they?

I love the colors,details and how the lily pads on the water look with the mist/fog over top and in the background. I really like fish type aliens like this, they are one of my favorite types *x*

Hnnnng. 
Ulli, why you so pretty and sexy. 
...Shush....I think he's pretty and sexy >.>
I love his design and pattern, along with the bio-luminescence. It all pulls together really really nicely. 
And as always, your background is kick ass as well. I LOVE the fog, and the sort of eerie look it gives off. It really says more about the scene. 
And for some reason I really like the lilly pads too. I'm not even sure why on that front. XD They just look really cool.

Great job!
(......*touches Ulli*)

He's sexy AND HE KNOWS IT!
Actually he doesn't but he doesn't particularly care that much soo  


Daw thank you! It'll probably have a few changes in the pictures to come but overall I am pretty happy with where it is at. 

Ohthoselillypads

Oooh, he's gorgeous. I really like these guys their color scheme is great and I love how the stripes hint at camouflage for grassy swamp areas like what's featured in the picture.

The picture itself looks beautiful.

Thank you so much!
That is exactly what they were meant to portray! A type of camouflage for either water or the swampy grasslands. 
He is definitely a favorite character of mine right now, I cant wait to reveal/develop him more.

DaMushroom [2015-01-27 17:49:14 +0000 UTC]

Controversy indeed. How beautiful he is to look at! I'd probably end up being that very stupid Meridian who climbed up the tree to watch his kind. He's gorgeous.

Octeapi In reply to DaMushroom [2015-01-28 20:33:47 +0000 UTC]

They certainly have more extensive glow to them compared to the other Meridians. 
Oh so you'd be THAT Meridian. 
Just be sure to be high enough up they don't launch out and tackle you out of the tree.

I'd probably die very young if I didn't have someone babysitting me. Im pretty sure once I get up that tree, there's no guarantee I'm getting back down

Bioluminesence is a really, really beautiful sight and always gives off an otherworldly, beautiful feel to a creature with it. Yet also an air of...creepiness, y'know? Like faint sinister undercurrent is running beneath.  There need to be more creatures with it. Though it seems like he's a bit annoyed he has it since he can't sneak up on somebody when he's lit up like a Christmas tree. XD

Octeapi In reply to SaintHeartwing [2015-03-25 22:42:28 +0000 UTC]

OH I love Bioluminesence, it is difficult to capture but can create a really mystic feel to a seemingly otherwise empty environment. 
uvu fortunately the entire planet glwos at night so, he blends in just fine usually.
