7 years ago
So while I'm working on the things that i owe I wrote the description of Skulni species, were working in garden during this weekend and I will get back to all of you tomorrow. Thank you for waiting.
this might be updated bit more, because I might have forgotten some bits
Skulni are manifestations of legends and mythos of legendary creatures. The skull represents the legend of the creature.
Skulni basic anatomy normally consists of 3 different parts: the fur coat covered part [known as the heart], the smooth parth that is a tail, belly and throat [known as the soul] and the hard part - skull, skeleton and limbs [known as mind]. The size of a skulni varies from a size of an adult husky to an adult stallion with few exceptions of mutations (short or very long limbs). Their hind limbs upper part (above knee) resemble lower jaw.
They have sexes, but from plain visual observation it's nearly impossible to tell which sex is which.
The skull and limbs are a part of the skeleton which is in the same colours as the skull. In rare cases some parts of skeleton can be outside the fur and skin.
Skunli are omnivores, they have huge fangs like bears and foxes, but can consume plants too. Their tongues are similar to canine's. Tongue's in a similar colour like "Soul" part. They have good hearing except for albino skulni's. Their eyes have no visible pupils in most cases, the pupils are round shape.
Skulni have blood, but it's in a colour of "soul" depending on the thickness of its membrane, sometimes it's in a brighter colour. Nervous system, blood vessels and lymphatic system connect with the "Soul". "Soul" was thought to work similary like single-celled organism, which isn't far fetched because it contains all the organs necessary for living. The colour of blood depends on the colour of "soul".
They can possess some traits of the legendary creature they have manifested from to a certrain degree. Most of the manifested physical traits are legendary. Some powers for example element manipulation, strenght can be passed down through the legend.
