Cattrix

Postby Ruki Ki » Mon Feb 28, 2011 4:59 pm

I was going through my unfinished pictures on Oekaki and I saw an unfinished body structure. I played around with the structure for quite a long time and came up with a cat-like creature.
Thank you Sammy~ for the Cattrix name. The other names were so amazing, but I didn't feel like they were quite appropriate for them. Thank you all so much though ^^


Species Info:

Name: Cattrix (singular) Cattri (plural) (c) Sammy~

Average Shoulder Height: M- 64 to 88 cm F- 50 to 62cm

Weight: M- 38 to 55 kg F- 27 to 49 kg

Lifespan: 15 to 25 years

Litter Size: 1 to 4 cubs

Diet: Meat- birds, reptiles, mammals (up to twice their size); Fruit; Insects

General Info:
Resident of Eerolunas (my created planet), cattri are an uncommon sight to see. The most obvious and unusual characteristic about them is their "tentacles". These thick membranes contain bundles and bundles of sensitive nerve cells. The two tentacles in the back of the cattrix are vital in helping it understand the surroundings behind it while the four on their paws help them feel what is in front of them. Like an octopus, each of the tentacles has their own "brain" and they are very prehensile. The colors of the tentacles range from reds, to blues, yellows, or greens with hues that can be light or dark. Most cattri have only one color shade tentacle, in rare cases cattri can have two different colored tentacles but this can only happen if a genetic mutation is present. In very rare cases, the tentacles can be shades of white or black. (Unless you order white/black or you have "special privileges", you cannot get one. The only time you can get one that isn't from payment is on the off chance that one is up for adoption.)

With large ears and a flexible, stealthy body, they are quite amazing nocturnal hunters, but surprisingly they can't see. Rather than using their eyes for sight, they "see" everything in infrared. This is because of the raised crystal within their forehead that allows the brain collect the images from there instead of their actual eyes. The eyes are instead used to attract mates. The brighter the glow within the eyes, the more healthy the cattrix is and the more likely it will end up having a mate. The eyes can even glow in the dark.

Male cattri have what resembles tiger stripes running down their tail that gets darker at the tips. Females do not have tiger stripes. Coat colors are neutral. The tentacles, eyes, and eye crystal are all the same color (with different hues). Cattri do not usually have markings.

Species guidelines (Important stuff summary):

    You cannot have anything black or white (or any black/white shades) aside from coat color
    All cattri are natural colors
    Cattri's tentacles, eyes, and crystal are all the same colors
    Cattri don't usually have markings
    Cattri are just like any other regular animal- no piercings, no braclets, no armor, no collars

PLEASE stay within the species guidelines. The only time I will allow anything abnormal is when I am in a good mood a decide to add them.

Rules:

Follow ALL of Tess's rules
Don't steal idea/design/art/etc.
Don't steal other people’s cattrix
Don't use without my permission or take off site
Look at the Dot System. Obviously if something doesn't have a dot, it's not for adoption.
Limit 4 Cattri (ATM)
Read the Species Guidlines! I don't want to keep correcting some people.
For adoption, fill out the form here and post it on the adoption page.
I will PM you if you haven't payed. Once you have, I will give you the cattrix. If you do not pay within a month, I will put your cattrix up for adoption (unless it is based after one of your characters).
If you do not follow the rules, I have the right to refuse your order or adoption.

Payments:

I would like something from my Wishlist as payment for a custom. For the four custom colorings, you get (of course) the four custom colorings, but also depending, on the price, you could get rare colorations. The rare colorations are mentioned above. So, of the four you get (the number of how many rare colorations you can have are next to the payment) you can have 1-4 of them rare colorations. If you don't want any, that's ok. If you want them all rare, that's ok too. Here is a list of the following prices:

1 custom coloring:
Any 1 common WL pet from 08'
Any 1 uncommon pet from 09' (including hoarding pet [music note or yin-yang dog])
Any 2 WL uncommons/ 1 WL rare pet(s) from 10' to now.

2+ custom coloring:
Any 1 WL rare from 08' (3 customs)
Any 2 WL rare and uncommon from 09'
Any 2 WL rares from 10'
Any 4 WL rares from 11'

4 customs/ 1+ rare coloring (black/white):
Any 1 OMG SO RARE or UR (4 customs/4 rare)
ANy 1 WL very rare July/August dog (4 customs/ 3 rares)
Any 1 WL very rare from 08' (4 customs/2 rare)
Any 1 WL very rare from 09' (4 customs/1 rare)
Any 1WL very rare from 10' to now (4 customs)



Dot System:

Red Dot: Premade/Adoptable
Blue Dot: Custom
Green Dot: Adopted
No Dot: Not for adoption


It may take me some time to fill out orders or make new cattri. Sorry, I'm slow. =\

This is awesome(: I'd love to see it colored(:
But everybody’s like cristal,
Maybach,
Diamonds on your time piece.
Jet planes,
Islands,
Tigers on a gold leash.
We don’t care,
We aren’t caught up in your love affair.
And we’ll never be royals..
It don’t run in our blood,
That kind of lux just ain’t for us.
We crave a different kind of buzz.
Let me be your ruler,
You can call me queen B
And baby I’ll rule.
Let me live that fantasy.

I'll click yours if you click mine <3 wrote:Image~~Image~~Image~~Image

Very nice species, I'd love to see these coloured.
As for a name.. Felisato popped into my head, though as it means something along the lines of cat plant, it could work if the creature was plantlike and not octopus like.
I like Trainer's suggestion though, it's very amusing.

Nice! I love strange Mythical Creatures! I like making them too!

How About you call it Undacattus (Water cat In Latin, I looked it up....Because I don't speak Latin XD)

If you make it into an adoptable, can I be a guest Artist?
