The Ocularium are a rather strange species. They are mammalian, and give live birth to 1-4 cubs. These large, bulky beasts are unique in the fact that they have 8 limbs. They walk upon 4 of these, the front legs having 5 toes in total and including a crude thumb. While not able to use them like a human could, these extra digits help to climb in rough terrain. The hind legs are powerful, but only have 3 larger toes. These help them to run, jump, and climb. They are able to launch themselves up to 5 times their body length. The two smaller limbs grow along their ribs. These are smaller arms, complete with fully functioning hands. These are just like human hands, able to hold and carry. They can use them to even build small tools and crafts. They tend to make crude jewelry out of the bones and teeth of their prey, even feathers.
Their large, muscular bodies are covered in a thick coat that is longest at the throat and chest area. The fur is rough and can have any colors and patters. Their ears seem to be tattered and torn, even upon birth. Most often, they have a small pair of horns on the tops of their heads, however each cub born has a chance to have their own unique pair.
The most bizarre feature that the Ocularium have, and where they get their name from, is the massive eye held by their tails. These eyes are called Ocularia. The tail has a hand at the end, and this hand's sole purpose seems to be holding onto this disembodied eye. No one knows where it comes from, but it's color always matches the Ocularium's own eyes. Perhaps they are paranormal, or otherworldly in nature. One thing is known, however. This large eye sees all. It can see at incredible distances, and the flexible tail that hold it is capable of twisting and turning in every direction. This helps them to hunt, but can be unsettling as the eye lacks any lids and thus cannot blink.
Because they are blind, and are born this way, the mothers of cubs will weave bandages out of any soft materials they can find. Even their own fur. This is the last thing the mothers do for them before they embark on their own. At times, they even paint or dye the bandages to the same color and shape of their fur underneath.
Ocularium are generally solitary creatures. They are very intelligent, though, and can often seek the company of others. They are loyal to one another, and friends will not fight one another. Ever. However, females can be very territorial and can potentially attack intruders without warning. Though they tend to have more bark than bite. Males, on the other hand, are generally friendly and roam freely. Multiple males have been seen roaming together and are generally the more relaxed and playful of the two.
When it comes time to find a mate, Ocularium have a couple options. They either find a mate for life, or a male will seek out any nearby females. If they find a life-mate, the two will remain by each other's side until death. Otherwise, the male will help the female raise their cubs for only a few months. At this point, the cubs somehow receive their Ocularia. The cubs will remain with their mothers until fully grown, in which they will leave to start their own lives.
