Volatikai tails are changing slightly!
10 years ago
General
I went to the MN Como zoo today and spent a long time in the monkey area... and I fell in love with most of their tails.
And then it hit me... I should make volatikai tails act more like monkey tails!
Some tails won't change at all, while others may change big time.
The first one I wanted to change was obvious: northern tails. Of course, they aren't free to the public, but I'll explain what I am doing:
They'll have a thicker base to the tail, and the underside will be rather flat. The length will stay the same, but it will be slightly all around as well, and will have a rounded tail tip. They;ll still be furry, though! Their tails can pick up small objects (but cannot hold their weight!). They won't drag across the ground anymore. When on all fours the tail could be almost straight up, or at least up in some way, and could curl at the end. I'll be drawing an example of this later on Pierce!
Southern: Like the northern, but shorter.
Eastern: I am thinking of lengthening their tail some, and making them thicker as well, also like a monkey tail. They'll still have very fine fur, however.
Western: May just stay the same.
Mountain: General same shape, but I may change the tip.
Plains: I don't know exactly what I wanna do with them yet. Maybe like a spider monkey tail because their tails seem "frizzy". http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net.....20131116002805
Arctic: Mostly the same, but will be like a colobus monkey tail: http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/thumbl.....58431Y481j.jpg
Desert: Same shape, but may change the tip.
Tropical: stays the same.
I have to make an updated ref thing of their tails anyways because the one I have now wasn't even exactly correct, especially with how large/long they are supposed to be.
I think I might give a flatter side to all of them at least closer to their bases.
This change is also to help with their flight. They'll have lots of muscle in them and can bend well, except for desert tails.
