DRACOONS
▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂
Extinct until recently. A rare species found in the tundra biomes on the some of the harshest landscapes on Earth.
Believed to have lived on berries and the dew from tree branches. Their inflexibility to adapt caused their long-term
extinction, as global climate changed forced more brutal winters and thicker frosts. Now they're making a gradual
comeback. Scientists have suggested years of hibernation saved them and now that the winters are warmer, the
species are emerging once more.
- Behaviour and Nature:
Dracoons are sociable creatures, although extensive research has shown that most older males prefer to travel alone and the younger adolescents are more vocal and sociable, preffering a group of around three to five individuals rather than being solitary. A pair of Dracoons is known as a 'Duocoon', a group of Dracoons with three to ten members is known as a 'Coop'. The Dracoons have never had a recorded group of over ten members. That appears to be the limit of a group. 'Coops' have been seen migrating across the tundra biomes that they inhabit to find better food sources and a warmer climate. When migrating, the 'coop' huddle, curled up in a ring to share their body heat. Alone, a singular Dracoon will not attempt to migrate, as they wouldn't survive the tundra conditions. All Dracoons tails bristle according to their emotions. If a Dracoon is cautious, aggresive or upset, their tail will bristle. If a male bristles his tail towards another male, it can be seen as a challenge for territory.
- Characteristics:
Their tail bristles when they're nervous, angry into the shape of a Christmas tree
The bell on the ribbon calms them down and returns the tail to normal
Ribbon on the tail is endless and can be used to wrap presents
Their paws and inside ears are peppermint flavour
Lots of fluff to keep them warm in the winter landscape
Can stand on two or four legs, mainly two legs
Rarity:
The rarity of a Dracoon, is established purely by the shape of its pupil.
Currently, there are roughly twelve known variations of the pupil, but
there are certainly more to be discovered. The rarities are found in three
sections, section one is sclera colour, section two is pupil variations and
section three is pupil shapes [with the exception of the second along, which
is heterochromania / two-toned eye colours.] The chart is split into colour
codes to identify and label eye rarities. Here is how the chart works:
Green / Common- Commonly found amongst the species
Yellow / Uncommon- Slightly more rare, yet seen often also
Orange / Rare - Even rarer, not seen in many of the species
Red / Very rare - Very rarely seen, only a few have been recorded
Very rare traits will only be released in special raffles, special customs
[not regular or ordered customs] and events, to keep them especially rare c:
This is a massive work in progress (:
