What is a Plainrunner?
A Plainrunner is a fox-like creature that lives in the African Plains. They are usually earthy colors with stripes or spots to help blend in with the sparse foliage of the plains they live on.
What do they look like?
Plainrunners are tall creatures, standing up to 3 and a half feet tall at the shoulder. They have short bodies, but their thin, elegant legs give them their height. The most unique features of the Plainrunners are their very large ears with large tufts inside. They also have a very long tail, some specimens reach nearly four feet long.
Plainrunners can be nearly any color, but bright or neon colors are quite dangerous on the bare plains. Plainrunners are usually earthy colors with stripes or speckling. Plainrunners are never pure black or white. Instead, they have hues of dark grays or silvers. Albino Plainrunners have been reported, as well as melanistic, but they usually don't live very long.
Female Plainrunners have small chibi-style wings that float at their side. They cannot fly with them, but are mainly for show. They are always vibrant colored on one side. The inside is the same color as the female's coat color. When they need to hide, they fold them up against their side, with the inside showing out. The vibrant-colored side is for attracting a mate. The more vibrantly-colored and exciting, the more attractive they are to males.
What do they eat?
The Plainrunners' diet consists of small prey, like birds, meerkats and mongooses. Occaisionally, Plainrunners can take down a gazelle or zebra. Plainrunners are strictly carnivores. They would not get enough energy from vegetation to survive.
Are Plainrunners social?
Plainrunners are not extremely social animals. Young males will occaisionally form "Bachelor Bands" while they are searching for a female. Bachelor Bands are nomadic and have no territory. When a male finds a mate, he'll leave the Bachelor Band to find a territory with his mate. When Plainrunners do find a mate, they are mates for life, unless one gets killed. Plainrunners are extremely loyal to their family by nature.
How can I adopt one? Will you make a custom for me?
Plainrunner Artists will be designing many Plainrunners. To adopt, you will have to follow the instructions of the artist to win him/her. It usually means you have to draw art of the Plainrunner, or fill out a form.
The only people who get a custom Plainrunner are the staff members.

We are no longer hiring staff members. If Plainrunners get big, I'll hire more to help me manage it.
