All availible Felpeses are still babies, as once matured, they are no longer tamable. Even if hand-reared, Felpeses will go back to the wild never to be seen again. Their name comes from Felis (cat) and Vulpes (fox) as they are essentially chimeras (and the first few documented specimens were Foxcat hybrids). A single Felpes will always have four limbs (unless mutated or forcibly removed) and a canine-like body, but their limbs can be made of anything; except their front paws (remember: they can be talons, flippers, hands, anything that can be a creature's front two extremities) will always be a lot skinnier than their back paws. Strangely, some Felpeses will have limbs or body parts made of non-biological materials, like glass, water/liquid, gas, gems, or other various non-living substances. Their noses can also differ. Some Felpeses have been observed with having 'hair'; which seem to serve no other purpose than for attracting a member of the opposite gender. (It is speculated that this is a feature that is seen as attractive to adult Felpeses).
Scientists speculate their biodiversity is partly due to their quick evolution; there are not many fossils of ancient Felpeses, and ones confirmed to be the ancestors of modern specimens look drastically different. These creatures seem to almost automatically adapt to their climate, so some may have wings or others may have gills, and some have grown bigger forelimbs for accommodate for underground life. However, one internal function that keeps their species in a tight bond is that they have multiple hearts and two stomachs (much like cows, goats, and other Ruminants.) but are genetically more similar to foxes or wolves than any other hooved animal. Their size range is very similar to that of modern Canis lupus familiaris(es).
Adults, who are rarely seen, have been shown to be the size of a particularly large wolf. They will develop longer snouts and longer legs, their fur (even if they are short) will grow significantly longer and their tail shall, as well. In rare cases, lack of nutrition or growth can keep these Felpeses in their small form permanently.
