WHAT ARE MAWKINNOKS?

XXXMawkinnoks (pronounced maw - kin - knocks) are an intelligent mammalian species with magical abilities that allow
them to levitate objects and interact with the world around them. They do not have their own voices and, similar to
parrots, will mimic the speech and sounds they hear around them in order to communicate. They can have a variety
of horn, ear, tail, and pupil shapes. Mutations such as wings or extra limbs sometimes occur in the species, as well.

ANATOMY

XXXMawkinnoks have oval-shaped heads with large eyes, thick necks, muscular bodies, and long, spindly legs. They can
have horns sprouting from their foreheads, which come in an array of shapes and sizes. Some may have multiple horns
along their snout. They can also have a variety of ears and tails, ranging from natural to unnatural shapes. Their pupils
can be in different shapes, both natural and unnatural.

ORIGIN

XXXOne day, many years ago, a meteorite hit the Earth. It wasn't a regular meteorite, though. When it was found by a
nearby farmer, he realized that what he had thought was just some space debris was actually some sort of space ship.
On board were the Mawkinnoks. Human scientists attempted to figure out where they had come from, but the only
answer they could ever get from the original Mawkinnoks was the name of the species and that their "Creator" had
saved them from certain death. Aerospace engineers attempted to utilize the technology on the Mawkinnoks's ship,
but the ship was too damaged from the Earth's atmosphere and its crash landing for them to get anything from it.

DIET

XXXMawkinnoks are carnivores. When hunting, they spit a sticky saliva that traps their prey so they cannot escape. Their
main diet in the wild is smaller species such as squirrels, rabbits, and birds. In captivity, they will eat any sort of meat
given to them by their owners. Mawkinnoks cannot thrive on fruits and vegetables. Though they are able to digest fruits
and vegetables, they cannot obtain any of the needed vitamins and nutrients they need to survive from them.

SOCIAL

XXXMawkinnoks are sociable pack mammals and will form families both in the wild and in domestic situations. Like humans,
every Mawkinnok is different both in physical appearance and in personality. No two Mawkinnoks are exactly the same. The
only way they communicate is by mimicking the speech and sounds they hear around them. After getting to know a particular
Mawkinnock, it becomes easier to understand exactly what their unique facial expressions and what each of their mimicked
sounds are supposed to mean.

MAGICAL ABILITIES

XXXMawkinnoks possess the ability to use "magic" and levitate objects and interact with the world around them. When using
their magic, whatever they are interacting with glows with a colorful aura. Every Mawkinnok has a uniquely colored aura.
Auras can be a single solid color or multiple colors. There is no known reason as to why a Mawkinnok has a certain color
for their magical aura. Scientists have not been able to figure out how Mawkinnoks use their magical abilities, either.

on their tail does not have any pattern on it and can only be gradients of color.
Gradients can include any number of colors, either same shade or different colors altogether.
Mawkinnok features cannot be inorganic/elemental, such as goop/light/fire/water/etc.
Their ears and tails can take on many forms but should still be recognizable as ears and tails.
For examples, see the mascot of the species and these sketches.
