What are Plumed Nysts?

General:
Plumed Nysts, also known as Mountain Peacocks, are agile lamb-sized creatures which live at high elevations. Their name comes from the large "plume" of feathers, bigger on the male than the female. They use these feathers for attracting mates, scaring off predators, and intimidating rivals. Plumed Nysts live for a very long time, fourty-sixty years depending on where they live. Nysts, instead of fur, have feathers, even though they are mammals. They have two layers of feathers, extremly fine, fur-like down that keeps them warm, and larger, bird-like feathers to keep out wetness and such. Nysts eat berries and such when they need to, but usually rely on rodents and birds to keep them fed. Occasionally they can be seen taking down a larger animal, such as mountain goat, hunting in small packs of five to ten Nysts. Plumed Nysts usually live within only their close relatives, te parents, grandparents, single aunts and uncles, and siblinbgs. Sometimes though, when food gets scarce, families join up to make larger packs.

Coloration:
Plumed Nysts usually have a at least some natural pelt with any colored markings, they never have a bright/neon unnatural colored base, and uncommonly have an bright/unnatural base. Solid colors are also rare. Both gender's plumes have dazzling patterns and colors, there are almost no limits to their plumes. Their colors usually go together well and never clash. There are many variations of plumed nysts, some rarer than others. The rarest ones are the ones come from the himilayas, those are specail because they sometimes have glowing feathers, adapted to locate each other in the fierce and sudden snowstorms.
Some other varieties include African Nysts, which are always spotted or striped very boldly.

Behavior:
Plumed Nysts can be very active, playful pets and need a lot of care. They require lots of attention and if their owner takes good care of them, a Plumed Nyst can grow very attached to the owner. When you first bring them home, Plumed Nysts will want to explore and test out everything, so be prepared to keep an eye on them.

Subspecies:
Subspecies are types of plumed nysts. There are common ones (from north america), and then there are exotic ones, like those from the himilayas.

The currently known subspecies are:
○Common (North America)- common
Tend to look just like regular old nysts :3
○Himilayan (Asia)- Rare
Some look like common nysts, but some have glowing markings, usually the domainant markings, in only one shade. They also have thicker, softer fur.
○African (Africa)- Rare
Tend to almost always have bold natural colored patterns, lke stripes and spots. Also have coarser fur.
○South American (South America)- Uncommon
Usually have a more busy coat, with multiple patters. Thinner fur than nomal.
○Australian (Australia)- Rare
Almost always paler than most, with less busy coat. Also, thin soft fur.

This little girl is all the way from Australia!

She's gorgeous! <3 I absolutely love her!
(Thanks! I was just on a cruise in the Bahamas so the ocean came to mind. :P)

I'll get to to workin' on that right now.
(Eek, I'll have to work on it after school tomorrow.. my dad hates it when I'm on my computer too late. :| )

[Asa Willow]

OMG really? I just went on a cruise too ♥ I was inspired to name my August lion Triumph because that was the name of the ship, and because it looked like the water in which we were cruising in ^^ And also maybe because I felt triumphant over the fact that I actually got a good outcome for once... >3<

Alrighty.. makin' details about my Nyst. :3

Username : Well, I'm obviously SeeingColors, judging by my username.
Name : This pretty little Nyst will be named Nixie, which is German for 'little water pixie '. She mists looks so serene yet has a playful touch.. so yeah. XD
Gender : Hmm .. I'm gonna have to think about this XD.. Nixie is a female, definently not a male by the lack of those long feathers.
Personality : Well, Nixie is all about having fun and keeping herself entertained. I mean, who isn't? She enjoys running in the river or swimming along it with her endless amount of energy. When she was brought home... let's just say she wouldn't let anyone in the pool, let alone near the river. But when it's raining outside she seems so laid back unlike every other hour of the day.
First day at home : The bewildered eyes of the young Nyst was seen through her transporting cage with her nails scraping the plastic up like it was butter. "Calm down.. you'll be out real quick, " I whisper reassuringly as I sit down the large cage. It was very similar to the dog crate .. well, beside the fact that it was being torn to bits by the ever - so - anxious Nyst. I bring my hand to the latch and I could hear her whimper from the inside, just begging to be let free. I sigh before opening it and she bursts out like she was running on hot coals, running almost everything over that laid before her. I could pull my hair out for what she was doing .. maybe a Nyst was a bad idea? I then shake my head, not accepting that thought. I was going to make this work for the both of us. I bring my index fingers to my mouth and let out a whistle, gathering the energetic Nyst's attention. 'Now, names.." I say, looking to the snow white coat of the Nyst as she looked right back to me, her wildness tamed for a few tender moments as our eyes luck. Just like the ocean after a storm. "Nixie.. perfect, " I say softly as our gaze continues, making a smile come to my lips.

Ooh, I would like to set this little girl up for adoption if you wouldn't mind. :3 I would love to see someone make her happy since I haven't really done much with her.
