Sphaera Canem




Species Information Basics:

Sphaera Canem (S-fair-ruh Cain-em) or Canes for short, are an ancient species of canine that has been roaming the earth for many years. Their average size is that of a male great dane, and their lifespan reaches 100 years. They use herbs for medicinal reasons as well as food. Their coloration is often of darker and more muted colors or natural colors. Each cane has a liquid-like orb at the end of their tails that can be used to wield the power of one of five elements, Air, Earth, Water, Fire, and Thunder. Spheara Canem start out as pups with no orb, and develop one over time. The type of orb they develop is not dependant on their pelt color, habitat, or lineage, but rather their personality.





Species Habitat and Interaction:

Sphaera Canem have no habitat preference as a whole, but do tend to stay in areas that suit their element. However they prefer to live in environments that have little to no human interference. Canes often form pack dynamics that can consist anywhere from 4-16 members, although it is not uncommon to find a cane that prefers to be a loner. Their territories are vast and do not mind if another pack is living in the same area as long as they do not run into one another, they value their privacy as a pack and keep their distance from outsiders. Canes have no natural enemies and prefer to sleep out in the open, underneath the stars.





Species Diet:

Sphaera Canem are omnivores. They hunt by themselves or in small parties of 2-4. Their diet consists of small reptiles, insects, rodents, birds, edible plants, and sometimes carrion. They put feeding the young and elderly first, then catch their own food.





Rules:
-Keep everything child friendly!
-Do not copy the species or any designs
-You are allowed to add simple items to your cane with permission of the artist, no line edits.
-You are allowed 6 Canes, this may change if the species becomes more popular.
-If you no longer want your cane, notify the artist and it will be put back up for adoption.
-Canes mate and breed heterosexually.
-Be nice. This should go without saying.
