Species Information

• They are definitely extremely intelligent, but they cannot speak. It is unknown whether they can communicate telepathically, but their subtle muscle movements and the vibrations they send out seem to be their main form of communicating with their species. They are almost constantly in conversation with each other.
• The forearm claws are used for grabbing large prey, and while they may not be strong, they have incredible agility and speed, which they use to bring down their kills.
• Their environment is a dense forest, almost jungle like, and is filled with ivy that they use their powerful legs and tail to maneuver through the trees.
• Their snakelike skin is strong and sleek, and it is covered by a fine, short, exceptionally soft coat of velvety fur. They can sense shifts in the environment on an a near microscopic level, making them supreme hunters and fighters.
• They are amphibious and can breath underwater and on land. They can survive in extremely thin air conditions should they have a large supply of water with them! Their are always ears folded back into their head when the water.
• The ears are typically folded back unless it is an expression of extreme emotion such as anger and joy.
• Unnatural colors are fine, as some of them live in tropical areas and some live near coral reefs! More often than not, mainland, forest and jungle Ma-earu have patterning of snakes such as rattle snakes, garter snakes, corn snakes, and most commonly, pythons and boas.
• They do indeed have a language, but it is a mostly scavenged one. You will find phrases from many, many languages, including some from earth! As such, their naming patterns are erratic and varied from family to family.
• They have strong familial ties and do not often live alone. When one Ma-earu DOES happen to leave it's family, it's often to start another with their mate.
• They mate for life.

It looks cool<3

[To The Roses]

Whoa!! That is impressive! :o

[Zitface]

Thanks guys! ^u^
I might be offering customs on these lines when I finish. Would you be interested?

the worst part of this is that I drew it with a track pad
I have a Bamboo Capture Tablet and a 9x12 inch Aiptek tablet, too, but I CAN'T DRAW WELL WITH THEM ;U;
trackapd just works better.

[To The Roses]

Yeah, I know what you mean! Tablets are hard to get used to if you're already used to trackpads. C:

I would definitely be interested in customs.

[Zitface]

Haha, I have mastered the two most difficult tools: Mouse and track pad.
Can I truly master the tablet?
probs not hahahahaha

Alllright! I'll let oyu guys know when the lines are done if I like them enough ^u^
If you have any ideas for a name or species details, drop them on me. <3

[To The Roses]

Yeah, will they have fur or skin and will they have genders?

[Zitface]

Yeah, will they have fur or skin and will they have genders?

Right now what I have in mind is smooth python-like skin, but with very short, very fine and soft fur over it.
The fur would work kinda like an Espeon's
I'm thinking no genders rn.
