Description

I thought I'd finish this concept to get the creatures of DD started. While I was finishing this concept up I kinda had some thoughts rolling around in my head for these little guys and I thought I'd share them with you.Β  So to starting with the basics, this creature is called a Dilladongo (working name that stuck so far.) or for shot Dillies. They stand roughly around 3,0 to 3,6 when they stand on there hind legs and resemble a mouse like armadillo in features. They inhabit mostly deserts but can live around mountains and plains and they live underground to stay cool from the the scorching sun of their homelands and to avoid predators. If Dillies are not out scavenging at night for odds and ends that they can use for tools they will dig tunnels and barrows throughout the day mainly for growing families as well as food storage, water wells and even root gardens and bug and grub farms. Dillies also have the ability to cruel up into themselves for protection or when they are frightened. When this happens they will do there best to roll away as best as they can from what they believe to be dangerous to them. Dillies are simple creatures and are mostly timid in nature however if there is a threat to their barrows or to their young they attack in little packs to defend against their foes. Dillies do not have a standing religion as most species do but they do revere not the sun and the moon as something sacred. As far as myths and legends are told amongst Dillies, the world is just the back of a sleeping earth dragon who has slept since the dawn of time who will one day awaken and devour all who live a pone his scaly back. That’s all I have for now and again mostly just some thoughts. Let me know what you think. ^^

The critters are very endearing, and the simple religion they have suits them very well indeed. They are after all quite primitive.

Are they friends with any other species?

I was thinking just a few types of animals and insects but not many. Due to there timid nature I think it would take a while to earn their trust. And you can count out anything 6th and taller big thins scare them and anything that flies over head, all of that factors into being a threat or predator to them so they often run and hide or curl into a ball until the threat is gone.

They are so cute! I love armadillos and how they curl up so these will be even better since they have magic! And they are tiny, bigger, but still very small. I think if I saw these in a video game I"d probably have them as one of my favorite races, but that would depend on the otehr races there.

I think that Duldoa would be a better name for them as a race, it sounds more formal, but I really love the way Dilladongo sounds! It could be a place, be it a capital or a popular hangout place. Maybe a clan name even. It works in many ways so I'd definitely keep it around, plus it's fun to say! XD

I like how you and James almost say the same thing sometimes. Just makes me chuckle.

Is it so bizarre to have the same opinion as him? You say it like it's a bad thing. I like the name, and I did say it was a flexible one to work with, but I also stated my opinion that I felt that Duldoa sounded more formal than Dilladongo even though I really like that one. Both work and I can see both being used as a name for the race.

Β However, I know both of you agreed on the name Duldoa together, so I don't see the need for a new name, which is also why I said that Duldoa should remain and Dilladongo should be should for something else related to them, be it a place, or a clan name ever. Or perhaps a sub race, like you have Ikeeri as the overall name for the fox race and Kunri and Felkri as sub races. That's always a possibility.

If you have a problem with the name then you should have discussed it with James, after all he is the other half of the project. I know he really likes the name too, so even if it wasn't the official name, it would have been used somewhere.

Wasn't the formal name for Dilles Duldoa? I really like how Dilladongo sounds like a great name for a capital city for them but it would be a large underground burrow; something similar to Goron City perhaps.

Still trying some names out before I make it final.
