Here is where I will write and update any info about my own spieces, the Grímaeras



Appearance:
Grímaeras usually consist of a mix of different creatures in appearance. What they all have in
common are their white, lapine-like faces, big fluffy manes and a kirin-like body-armor.
They usually have some kind of horns on their heads, but can sometimes be seen adorned with a crown of feathers or the like. The mane runs down along the middle of their backs and is usually kept clean, untangled and smooth by other members of their packs, but it's common that loners have a dreaded mane as they may have problems with grooming themselves.
Grímaeras upper halves and hand/front paws are usually those of a big cat, wolf or bear, and their
hind legs are usually hoofed, but might also be dragon/bird-like.
They can have any kind of tail and any kind of ears.



Feral form / breeding
Grímaeras also have a feral form. They are rarely seen in this form, as they only take it once every 7 years.
Just when the Moon is in the seventh house and Jupiter aligns with Mars, just when the season
changes from winter to spring and the snow starts melting the Grímaeras slowly (this does not happen overnight!) start to change and take a feral form. They become much more animal-like and answer more easily to their insticts. When fully feral they cannot speak, but coummunicate through a series of chirps, growls and yips. They can mimic most animal noices (such as hissing, barking, etc.).
Eventually leave their homes and find a temporary territory in the wild. They are very shy and
usually avoid any non-Grímaera, seeking only the company of their own kind, eagerly seeking someone of the opposite sex to mate with (or mating with their current partner/partners).
Their mating rituals usually consists of the male bringing prey to the females in order to impress
them. The bigger and more dangerous, the better. If the female see the male as an acceptable father to their offspring, she will let himchase her in a 'game of tag' and eventually mate.

Once the females bear youngs, they will travel back to their old homes and build a big nest for them to give birth to, and nurse the youngs.
Grímaeras usually give birth to 1-2 youngs (occassionally 3-4) and will usually only be able to do so once or twice in their lifetimes.
While nursing, the female and her cubs gradually start taking humanoid form, being fully so once the cubs are old enough to stop nursing.
