Coridae are canine-like species with
open chest cavities protected by a thin
layer of transparent "skin".They have
two hearts, one of which is upside
down and dormant, this allows Coridae
to live a little longer if one heart is damaged.
They are commonly seen with bandages
wrapped around their sensitive ears
from the constant rips and tears
their litter mates inflict on them.
Coridae are born in litters of 1-2, rarely 3,
and generally socialize with other other litters.
Their "eyes" are little glowing orbs put set
deep in their eye sockets, these eyes can
travel anywhere along the elongated eye socket.
You will NEVER, ever see a coridae with
an eye socket not extended onto the muzzle.
Their mouths have the same anatomy as that
of a venomous snake, they have poison stored
in the glands but rarely use it.
A Coridae's main defense tactic is to flood goop
out of their eye sockets, nose, mouth,
and chest cavity, predators see this as a sign
of an unhealthy meal and are often deterred
by the slight odor from goop
(a very faint smell of infection).
Any unhealed scars will constantly leak goop
until it scabs over, there have been cases
of paw pads or any skin areas constantly
leaking goop without cuts.
This goo is normally the same shade as
their insides, which vary greatly for each Coridae.
Although the most common chest
cavity is a heart split in two,
they can be any shape(s),
so you'll never know what you'll
be getting from these guys.
This clumsy fella can't seem to catch a break
(That isn't in his bones that is...)
He has lost his arm, his back toe,
The hair on his hindquarters and tail,
Missing half his ear, and the poor thing
Can only see out one eye at a time.
The glow drifts from eye to eye, but
Never in both at the same time. He doesn't
Notice it, he's used to it but people tend to be
Weirded out by it. (My eyes are actually like this)
Owner never claimed or used, so I will be taking this one back for myself.
