- meet kanem !
[ cane - em ]
- kenem, or ken/s plural, are shark-dog hybrids that have
bioluminescent gems in their cheeks and fins on their legs,
fish-like tails of many types, webbed paws with 5 toes and
bat-like ears that allow for echolocation within water.
they communicate with small little clicking and squeaking
noises like a dolphin or bat but they also have a bellowing
roar like a lion when irate. another form of communication
is used by flickering their glowing gems.
food
- all kanem are general carnivorous. though some do indeed
choose the herbivorous life.
- fish
- crustaceans
- eggs
- small mammals / birds
- insects / fungi
basics
- half cat / half aquatic animal
height - stand roughly 3 feet from foot to shoulder
weight - females: 120 Males: 150
length - 4 feet from nose to rump (not including tail as it depends
on the type)
gem/s on their cheeks are necessary for communication
the gem can be any type, color, etc
kanem can only have up to 10 gems on their body - including tail
a kanem's tail can be any type of tail though the tail and leg fins
must coordinate (ie: fish tail = fish fins // shark tail = shark fins)
kanem can live in water or on land, the place a kanem lives depends
on their preference
