Sparoks have wings attached to their heads, approximately where their ears should be
They can hear through their top ears, their bottom ears and tail are for stabilization.
Although Sparoks can't fly they can glide, because their bodies are too heavy for their wings to lift.
Some Sparoks only have one set of wings on their head, these guys can't glide at all.
The eyes of a Sparok may be different, depending on where they live.
Sparoks who live in dark caves have slitted eyes, those who live in the forest have clear eyes, and those who are domestic have circular white pupils.
Their tongues are usually the same color as the bottoms of their paw pads
Sparoks are approximately the size of Shiba Inus. Some are larger and some are smaller, but not by much, unless genetically defected.
This species tends to live in the trees or cliffs, making nests for their young, they do not lay eggs, however.
The Sparok is very protective of its land, and will dive off of high cliffs with competitors and glide upwards at the last second to win land, whoever dives up first loses.
If a baby is born with only one pair of head wings, they are likely to die if pushed out of a nest, due to the fact that they cannot glide, making them uncommon to see in the adult world.
Sparoks eat almost anything but mostly bugs, rats, and fruit

An uncommon sparok!

Edits: floppy wings, long drastic hair, only one pair of wings, tail wing edit

Kara laughed as she ran down the path to the sea. After the many wars this sea had survived, it was a pretty abandoned area. There were rumors of radioactive materials, so the sea was considered a dangerous body of water to swim or even be around. Submarines from past wars were found, nuclear waste has been found, and many still dump deadly materials into this sea. Kara didn’t care. She believed all her life that she was named after the water, the Kara Sea being too uncanny to ignore. She had swam all her life due to the lack of gliding, and she’s gone as far as to jump off cliffs into water to recreate the feeling of flight that most other Sparoks considered daily life.

She stopped at the edge of the water, small waves lapping at the land. It seemed as if the sea was jealous of the land, inviting people to enjoy it as they did the grass that was walked on without thought. Kara was almost hypnotized by the water, feeling some sort of relationship with it. She dipped the tip of her tail into the water, taking a step back with a shiver. It was absolutely freezing. The Sparok had gone to the north side of the sea, and seeing as it was winter, the water’s temperature was an icy 36°F. Ice was floating nearby, and Kara cringed slightly. “It’s all part of the experience,” She muttered to herself, taking a deep breath.

She took a few steps backward, she took another deep breath before quickly running at the water, screaming a ‘war cry’. Her shouts were immediately silenced as she fell into the water. She felt frozen, unable to speak or even move. Her teeth chattered and she appeared to be vibrating due to the shivering. Her breathing was quick and shallow, but she soon calmed down. Her thick fur allowed some sort of protection against the cold, so she felt extremely fortunate at the moment.

Deciding to go a bit further, she held her breath and went under. She opened her eyes, the darkness of the sea blocking out her vision. It was so cold that Kara had to resurface before too long to breathe again, but it was certainly an experience she would never forget. This sparked a newfound love for not only more dare-devil experiences, but water itself. She felt it knew how she felt, often being rejected, polluted, and lonely, not being able to relate at all with the land.

story;
Siren blinked. She'd been told the water was the most important component of her ancestry, but she couldn't believe the murky depths before her had ever been swam in. She dipped a paw into the water reluctantly, shivering as the sludge enveloped it. "And you're sure about this?" she asked herself. Of course she was sure about it, but it had seemed so much more appealing before she'd seen this was what it looked like. Water. The word sounded like something she shouldn't be standing in, but here she was, wading through the dirty liquid without a second thought. Well, this isn't that bad. Siren thought. But I don't want to get my hair in it.. She begrudgingly sank deeper into the water, surprised by how well she could see underwater. She swam for hours, never thinking why she didn't have to come up for breath, and not noticing how her tail wings and ears were slowly changing to represent ears, or the weird sensation she felt on her neck. Siren was too occupied gaping at the sights to be seen underneath the water, and she soon became as waterborne as the exotic fish around her. She never did come out of that lake, too ashamed of what she'd become. Or perhaps she never noticed, doomed to be distracted by the 'wonders' of the water until the end of her days. She should've listened to what the elders told her about that lake. After all, ignorance is bliss.

Sparok name: Yokahala
Sparok Gender: Female
Story: I am Yokahala... Yoka for short. Awhile ago it felt like a miracle happened, it was almost... impossible. I was never let around water by my parents, perhaps they feared I'd drown. Never taught how to swim, or why other people could do it but not me, I was determined to find out their reasons. So when they weren't paying attention, I snuck out of the den and began to find a clean body of water. I stumbled upon a spring, the cleanest water you can find. I waddled in and it felt like a boulder had been lifted off my shoulders, it was so refreshing to get my fur wet... not to mention you could drink the water too. I dived in, and it felt so natural to swim, like I was meant to be there. Moments later cops arrived with my parents crying, they rushed to me. It turns out my room had caught on fire and they couldn't open the door, so they called the cops and ambulance. If I had stayed in my room any longer I would have died, they told me. They had minor injuries, from the fire spreading and their desperate attempts. I promised I wouldn't sneak out anymore, and they promised that they wouldn't hide anything from me. We both knew we were lying though. My love for water saved my life, and made it worse. I am wanted and on the run as of right now, and I am wanted for swimming in water that shouldn't be swam in, and tackling my way out of the cops. (266 words) (ART IS WIP)
