What is a Helix?
Helix are medium-sized semi-aquatic creatures that live in coastal regions, usually in or around beaches. At first glance resemble a canine such as a fox or wolf in build. Unlike a fox or wolf however they have rather big ears which, whilst young, appear rather rabbit or antenna-like. Their long legs end in three-toed paws which are equipped with retractable claws for gripping and holding. They have a thick, oily coat which is waterproof. This helps to keep them warm them against the cold seashore waters of their habitat.
Primarily piscivorous meaning that they eat any fish, crustaceans or shellfish they happen upon, Helix are known to also prey upon sea birds (including chicks and eggs), seals and the carrion of beached dolphins, whales and sharks using their adapted jaws and teeth to pry open shells and to crunch bone and cartilage.

Perhaps the most notable feature of the Helix is the large bulky ammonite-like shell that they carry over their rumps which give them a shellfish-like appearane. Whilst newborns and juveniles use these shells as a form of protection, little is known about the use of the shell for older individuals. On a mature adult these hefty shells may contribute to up to 40% of the Helix's overall weight. To keep this shell nice and strong Helix will consume large quantities of calcium.
They are social within their own species, forming colonies of 5 - 20 individuals. Multiple colonies may co-exist on single beaches or coastlines. Helix are very vocal animals, using a wide range of vocalisation to communicate. The sounds they make are so diverse and frequently used that the Helix as a species may indeed have developed their form of sophisticated language.

Sorry it took so long. And ignore the timer. I left the window open a few times.
The initial fur design took me so long that by the time I got to the shell I was out of design ideas. So enjoy a plain green shell x.x
Based on an African Wild Dog. You may pick the gender =)

Username: TheMiniApocalypse
Name: Zeon
Why Zeon: I thought a very creative looking male should have a creative name c:
Gender: Male
Personality: Zeon is a very shy Helix, he can't stand being surrounded by things. He is a very wise man though, and he loves to learn more. His favorite place to be is on a beach with a book in his paws. Although this young male is very attractive, not many like him. He's a very secretive male and he will occasionally talk to few people and share his wide range of wisdom.
