These lovely creatures are actually based from quite a few animals out there in the world.
1.
First, they have the front Horn as would a Rhino would, but yet curved towards their head to represent that they keep the peace; if they fight, if anything, they could fight with their armor. No armor, you ask? well, there actually is armor there. Their "Fluff", is what protects them. How, you ask?
Well, some where in their teenager stage, after being helpless for more than 4 years of their life, their fur grows more soft and silky, and less fluffy. It goes around their shoulders, and goes onto their fluffy belly. In their predators' eyes, a female would be seen as a Dangerous Rhino, angry and protecting her babies. A male would be seen as a giant rock about to crush them. Usually they are left alone.
2.
Second, they are mostly wolf. The wolfly body helps them with accuracy of pouncing for food, running, and surprisingly, climbing.
Why do they climb, you ask?
We'll get to that later.
Their slender bodies of a wolf can help them with getting through small holes in fences, tree's, and nests. Their ability to run at 20 Miles an Hour helps run from predators who chase them tail-on-tail.
3.
They are part bird, as I have said before.
They are very good climbers, their sharp claws hanging onto trees in the dark.
They are known for carving holes at the top of the tree's, running all the way down them, with little steps in them to get up and down.
Why?
Well, usually Numi's have really large families, and with their bird genetics, at the top, they make nests, and at the bottom, they have stashes of care-for and food. The father of the litter will protect the bottom of their "Nests", while the mother feeds the Kits constantly. If in large forests, Numi's can live in large packs, where you can usually see tons of glowing eyes in the Moonlight.
4.
You're probably thinking some crazy scientist put all these genetics in.
Don't think about it. It hurts the brain.
But in all reality, their tails are spade-shaped for a reason.
They have two brains.
WHAT?!
Yeah. They do. They actually have a brain in their tail; a built-in best friend. These lovely beasts have tails that give them confidence in a very bad place; they will actually grow a mouth and comfort them by their favorite things; Cuddle and hugs.
The human DNA in this is that the tail has Vocal Cords, just like in the throat.
Every Numi must have the first letter of the Tail the same as the first letter of the Numi itself.
An example would be, our mascot, would be named "Dorothy". Her tail would have to be named "Dori".
5.
As you can probably tell, they do not have pupils in their eyes! They only have the white of their eyes, and the color!
And this is for a very reason.
Every eye has a special "Music Note" to it. Every Numi will have an obsession, or, "Seeking".
For example. Our mascot is in love with Astrology and stars. Her eyes gave her that obsession, and no Numi will never have a "Seeking". At the age of 4 or 5, when they turn into a teenager, they will start growing their horns in. They will also find something they are in love with. Every Numi has a special story of how they found their "Seeking". And from Generation to Generation, they will always share them, humiliating or not. When they find their "Seeking's", they will make something to represent their "Seeking", and tie it to their horns, legs, and tail. This helps another Numi to recognize their "Seeking"
6.
Their diet is like a Wolves', meat, and fruit.
But beware, in starvation, their "Gang", as a group of a Numi's is, will select one member to sacrifice and then they will eat them.
Gross. Cannibals.
But they do not do it until they are forced to. otherwise, they are very wise, smart, creative, talented, and calm creatures.
In other times, they can also be sometimes called a "Nio". It means that a Numi has gone onto the "Dark Side", and has started killing randomly. They will call out for this to their Gang and the mothers and fathers will go inside their Nests to protect the Litters.
7.
Generally, Females will produce up to 3-4 Kits in a Litter.
This makes the family huge; especially since the reproducing cycle can be up to two months! A male and female can mate, and have 3-4 babies 2 months later. Usually, they like big families. They love company and different things.
8.
They can date, love, and worship each other, but they can NEVER separate after being Mates!
You will NOT get through this like King Henry did and made his own church to divorce his wife;
Noooo.
They must stay mates forever. They can date, break up, but once mates, they MUST stay together. If they do, they could be permanently depressed.
⚜ Keep up with the pages 4-5 times a week, and see if you can help by answering questions Mod's can't do right now!
⚜ Post at least 1 time every 2 weeks, but if you want to do more, PM me and I'll see.
⚜ Guest artists will have a time of 2 weeks, and will be able to do more than one Numi.
⚜ Check the Archives, and see if our Archivist (Yet to be determined) has updated anything!
⚜ If a friend has joined your competition, PM me and we'll get a Mod to also judge with you on who wins.
⚜ If you absence is longer than a month, I will start to consider to get a new artist, UNLESS, it is family business, or, you told me in advance you would not be on.
⚜ If you have any complaints against anything, PM me or a Mod, and as a staff, we'll work it out.
⚜ If you have any suggestions on the species, speak up!
⚜ Be creative with Numi's, but NEVER give them the same hair style (The fluff between their shoulders and on their belly stays the same)
1. You can only get 2 at a time; it is bound to pop up to 4.
2. You may not ask to be an Artist; if you want to be an Artist, or guest Artist, I am creating the Contest here, for this is fairly new. (Just made this 2 minutes ago o.e)
3. If you want to be a Mod, PM me, and tell me if you've had Modding experience, and know how to handle Rude Comments and things the correct way. I.E; Don't be rude back.
4. Please do not push our artists to make a new Numi. We all have life to do, too.
5. Do not claim Species as your own. I can contradict you and give you the very link of the sketch I did.
6. Artists, don't remove Koda's signature, please. Plus, she's awesome ;o;
7. If you no longer want your Numi, please PM me or a Moderator, we will put it up for adoption once more.
8. Please don't claim a Numi as yours when someone else won her/him.
9. For the first 5-10 Numi's, we're probably only going to have Adults. We do not yet have the Teenager/Kit lineart yet. But we will soon.
