Description Woah, we haven't seen these beasties in a while! This has actually been laying around for quite a bit. I had the pup painted up at least a year ago, but never finished the male in the back. I've decided to put them into my headworld, but I'm still considering making the Northernbreeds available eventually since they aren't directly involved in any of my main headworld stories so far.

The Northernbreeds really needed some updates! The pup and the full grown male are both characters of mine, but they also make for good references. I haven't found names for them yet, but the large one is the pup's father. The pup takes quite a bit after the mother instead, but retains the father's blue eyes.

Coats as dark as his are very rare, and blue eyes are pretty uncommon among Northernbreeds as well. On the other hand lighter coats are more common.
Pups are also a rare sight. Females along with having a low fertility rate, are prone to miscarriage do to the harsh environment and their strenuous lifestyles. When they do, they generally only have one to two pups, but litters of three or more are rare. This pup is about 4 months old, and they generally take up to 2 years to reach their full size.

So fluffy *v*

Oh I'm sure you could do it. With all the creativity you have, it might take a bit longer but I'm sure it would turn out!

(I'm not good at explaining that kind of jazz either haha.)

You better act quick and stealthily cause Northernbreed parents are very protective of their pups! eve

Thank you <3
Get that hug in while the parents aren't looking! They are very protective of
their pup!

Ha, they sure share THAT trait with a species in my headworld! *shoves hippodara cub at the parents as a means of distraction and hugs that fluffy little bugger*

If any of them suspect anything, I'll just blame it on you, 'kay? The Northernbreeds are just way too adorable

I like your hippodara species; they are pretty neat, from what I could find.
<33

I'm just worried that they'd try and eat that little cub D':
Northernbreeds and Hippodara have quite a few different traits,
so they'd probably take notice almost right away.

Awww, thank you! I've been pondering doing a more rough picture to show off some colour possibilities for them kitties~

Nuuuh, don't eat the little one D: admittedly, I can see it happening too. Young hippodari are probably a lot like actual kittens, just very hyperactive (and kind of hyperaggressive). Hippodari parents would probably also eat that poor fluffy baby in your pic D: SO SAD.

Now you've inspired me to draw hippodari. Thank you XD

Ahh I'd love to see more of them, and I'm sure the pups are adorable as well :'D

Yeah, Northernbreed pups aren't aggressive like adults, but they are curious things,
and do like to wander. Parents need to be overprotective to avoid their little ones
being snatched up by some predator o:

Haha, no probs <3

Well, I already have a sketch in the works, so there will be more! and the pups are probably a lot like foals. A lot of awkward staggering around because the legs are still too long XD

I think hippodari cubs are relatively shy if they meet other species, so they stay close to their parents (and annoy the hell outta dad because he stays with the cub while momma is on the hunt for food). But hippodari are very protective of their cubs too since they only have one at a time and the little buggers are just too clumsy to defend themselves e_e the only exception would be melanistic/brightly coloured cubs, those are abandoned immediately because they have absolutely no camouflage in their natural habitats (steppes and deserts).

and maybe I can make you adopt one *plot plot plot*

I feel so bad just all these laaaate repliiiesss Ā 

Aggressive fur balls are the best! If I didn't hate drawing fur so much I'd make the Dy aggressive fur balls (but I guess they kind of are?)Ā

Shh, no worries I am just as bad ;v;

Ooh gosh though aggressive Dy furballs just ingrains a really funny image into my mind!
I feel that they don't need the fur, though as they already look super neat c:

Really awesome! Although they aren't dragons as you say I do like their anatomy! I wish I had your skill at making creatures and making musculature.Ā
