Not sure... I don't know what inspired Zyx... I remember seeing a few shark anthros and I felt intruiged... So I looked into the Wikifur article about them... And it sounded alot like me... But I didn't want to be a subject of violence and aggression... So instead I made my fursona a pacifist... And he eats mangos instead of flesh because he feels like he doesn't want to be a part of the others acts of vicious indulgence. And he is a lone scientist because thats what I've always been... A person motivated by science and always wishing to be alone in solitude. Away from humanity and profanity. Scum and villainy.
