Species idea- Icorns!

Postby Vulpine-Poltergeist » Thu Apr 30, 2015 11:13 pm

- Roughly 5' 6" average (at the top of the head)
- From another planet (called Althera)
- Have horse-like colors/markings (commonly dunlike markings, with a full-face 'mask' to go along with it)
- Large paws, almost like a bear's (minus the bear claws)
- Small tails, rarely longer or curled
- Short manes that usually go from the head to the back
- Elbow tufts
- Eight teeth total- three teeth for the bottom (which are usually always shown, unless they have a rare underbite; in which case, the top two teeth are shown)
- Carnivores; usually tear out their prey's bones with their teeth and then swallow the fur and meat whole
- Horns can be any size, and are commonly straight; rarely do they curl.
- Pupil-less eyes specialized for night vision and can see infra-red (mostly due to their extremely dark home-habitat)
- Communicate mainly by screeches, grunts, growls and howls, but can learn languages (with difficulty)
- Eyes are commonly shades of green, yellow, orange, and blue; some have been hazel or heterochromatic
- Are normally very approachable, unless they feel you are a threat to them or their foals
- Usually have up to four foals per breeding; two month gestation period
- Do not live in herds, and usually leave their parents at two years of age; mature at three years
- Short tails are normally better suited for their environment, as longer tailed Icorns can be caught in their homeworld's plants
- About as intelligent as a human, with slightly less capacity for the whole names-to-faces thing; can only remember roughly 110 individual organisms at a time
- (Adult) Females are called Mares, males are called Bulls
- (Young) Females are called fillies, males are called calves; non-specific term is foal
- Are able to cry, but unable to smile, frown, etc

Would anybody be interested in these not-so-little ones?

Thank you, though, for the interest! These started off as just sketches for amusement on paper, but then I wanted to make them adopts and now they're here.

Did some Lock Alpha coloring and added four horn varieties- small, long, ram and water buffalo! (The little guy pictured here is a ram-horned, buckskin Icorn with blaze, but I added the other horns so you all could see them!)
