basic info on the species wrote:LUX LACERTI, more commonly referred to as simply "LUX", are lab created hybrids. In response of the growing number of casualties, both human and animal, on the battlefield resulting from landmines, scientists at the N.C.S. (Noble Center of Sciences) decided that there had to be a way to solve this... and thus Lux were created.
LUX may only be the size of your typical medium dog - however Lux are much, much more than that. They are created from the joining and splicing DNA from wild northern wolves, komodo dragons, alligators and jellyfish. An odd mix? maybe. But Lux inherited very, very important aspects from each of those species that are critical to what they were designed for.
---
wolves - the strong sense of smell, and trainability
komodo dragons - a venomous saliva and reptilian features
alligators - tough scales and armour-like shielding on their chests and stomachs
jellyfish - bioluminescence
Lux have extra strong scale plating on their chest that lights up to guide their path at night and in low light. This lets the lux see the ground clearly exact in front of where it is going. Their incredibly strong sense of smell helps them detect explosives from afar, but even in the worst case scenario, if a Lux accidently stumbles upon an explosive and it goes off, the Lux will be completely unharmed, even if it was standing right on top of the blast, all thanks to it's armor. They also use this advantage in the field by running ahead of their handlers to set off anything that lays in their path, often this is done through unpredictable mind-fields to clear a safe path.
After much of the war was over, handlers that had worked with Lux and got to see their behavior, decided that they would make decent household companions. Over time, they have been far more domesticated - to the point where they will seek out humans and their affection, far different from the first Lux whose bloodline was wild and undomesticated. They now are not only found on battlefields, but more often locally.
