Syads - The Ocean Dwellers (Artist Contest&Mod Search!)

Postby The Last Raven » Tue Jul 15, 2014 3:24 pm

Welcome to the Home of the Ocean Dwellers
The Syads

Image

Intro:
On the world of Lectarus there are strange lands filled with monsters and warriors; and it is not on land that the dragons lurk but deep beneath the sea never reaching the surface. The lands of Lectarus, both Aragus and Garan, have dark and beautiful life but it is in the ocean that the most beautiful of creatures dwells. It is there that the things of legends live whose lives span over a 100 years. The Syads, the most precious stones of Lectarus's crown jewels.


Image

Characteristics:
•Size: Male Syads can grow to be 3.5 ft tall and weigh 200 lbs, whereas female Syads grow to be 3 ft and only weigh 130 lbs.
•Pelts: Syads have very sleek but very thick fur.
•Markings: The color of the pelts and markings are always oceanic in nature so as to blend better with their surroundings.
•Paws: Syads have webbed paws to aid them in swimming.
•Gills: These creatures do possess gills allowing them to convert the oxygen in the water to breathable substances thus never having to surface to breath. When on land though, these gills are covered up mostly by flaps of skin and the nostrils/mouth take over for breathing.
•Horns: Syads have a set of horns that have to prongs in the back and prongs in the front (females) or no prongs in the front (male)
•Spines: On the neck the vertebrae of the spine are visible as well as three towards the tail (always only three). Often accessories are tied to the vertebrae.
•Stingers: As a defense mechanism, this species possesses stinger tentacles interlacing with their tails a lot like jellyfish. These stingers are extremely painful, injecting large amounts of poison into the enemy's nervous system. Luckily these stingers don't fire the poison automatically, the creature has to consciously make the decision to fire.
•Tails & Tufts: The tails and tufts at the base of the spine are hair-like and usually messy. The hairs are often beautiful combinations of colors.
•Pearls: A Syad's horns each hold a pearl. The pearls match the color of the creatures eyes. If one has two different colored eyes then the two pearls will be different colors.

Image

Other:
•Habitat: Syads can live anywhere in the ocean, even at its deepest points (though down there these creatures have many special mutations and are often blind).
•Accessories: Accessories often consist of more pearls of the same color that are strapped to their horns. They can also have other gems, rocks, seashells, and other items from their surroundings and sea life. One thing that is always included is at least one sand dollar. This sand dollar (when broken while in the water) summons help from moon jellyfish, sea horses, and other Syads. This does not work on land though which is why Syads are rarely seen out of the water.
•Food: This species only eats sea life and can die of starvation if trapped on land.

Rarities:
Common: Normal lines, any coloring, single eye color, blind.
Uncommon: Normal lines, any coloring, bi-colored/tri-colored eyes
Rare: Mutations, no accessories
Very rare: Born with only one pearl

Breeding

Image


Birth of a Syad:
A Syad is not conceived like most mammal types. Instead, a large pearl about 4 inches in diameter is laid by the female Syad. This pearl is always the same color as the pearls the fully grown Syad will later carry between its horns. Because the pearls reflect the color of a Syads eyes, if the Syad is to have bi-colored eyes it's birth pearl will be a mixture of the two colors. Through the gestation period a polyp is formed much like that of a jellyfish. This polyp is usually purple, blue, or grey to help it blend in with the rocks or coral the pearl was laid on. Closer to the time of the Syad breaking through the pearl, which has slowly hollowed out and grown into a thinly shelled egg at 6 inches in diameter, 4 tentacles will appear in the middle of the polyp. The color of these tentacles are the same color as they will be once the Syad is fully grown. It takes 5 months for the Syad to be born and, once it is, it is only 7 inches tall. Syads grow to their adolescent size within a month, which is when it is most crucial that the mother brings it large amounts of food so that either it's growth isn't stunted or it doesn't die from starvation because of the massive amount of growing that it does. From there the growth hormones slow and it takes 30 years for an adolescent to reach adulthood. Syads can't breed until they reach 45 years.

eue beautiful! As I've told you a multitude of times, I adore these guys and would give anything to be an artist. I'm so repetative =P
I swear I'm not a middle schooler.
For real.

Do I ever do things in a timely matter?
I'll get back to you on that.
