What is an Akulix?
An Akulix, or the Akulixar, are a mostly canine species, with one of the major differences being the tremendous horns on the backs of the males' heads and the large blades rising from the middle of their backs. Also much larger in males, these blades provide a method of both warming and cooling the Akulix thanks to the multitude of blood vessels within them, similar to the sail on the back of a Spinosaurus. The blades can be broken, and very rarely, an Akulix can be born without a blade.
The horns are small and straight in females, and large and curved in males, and have a very different use- that of attracting mates. Females choose the mates, and while they tend to go for male with larger horns and thicker fur, any of the male Akulixar may be chosen. Males can sire 3 litters in their lifetime, and females can give birth to 2, with 1-3 pups in each litter. Akulixar generally, but not always, mate for life.
The Akulix are a generally seclusive species, living high up in the cold, bare mountaintops. Females have much longer, thicker fur- especially obvious on the tail and face- to wrap around their pups in the snowy mating season. Adults weigh approximately 90-100 pounds, and reach from 3-4 feet tall, but the horns of the males add nearly 2 feet to their height. Likewise, females can weigh up to 10 pounds more than males thanks to their extra fur. Akulixar are omnivorous, yet although their sharp, ridged claws seem more accustomed to tearing meat, they are built for gripping the rocky outcrops of the mountains they call home.
Little is known of the Akulixar, due to their being a shy lot. Due to this, only traditional breeding- male x female- is possible. However, in time, if enough are tamed, stem-cell breeding may become an option. Still, it will take time and effort to get enough tamed to do any sort of experimenting. Furthermore, Akulix won't bond to everyone. If they see a crowd, they'll pick one person out and follow them and them only. Do you have what it takes to claim an Akulix's heart?
