Umok Rework
5 years ago
General
Out of all the LGM-Verse species, I considered the Umok the least visually appealing. So, I recently worked with GasMaskFox to update their appearance and updated the original image accordingly...

It's similar to before. However, I figured an appearance similar to a Utah Raptor would look a little more alien alongside fitting into their lore. However, you might notice that the females now have breasts. If we're being honest here, I added them for the sake of personal appeal, but I came up with a justification for it within the universe anyway.
You see, Umok biology is as bizarre as the platypus. They have features we'd consider a blend of avian, reptilian, and mammalian. For example, they lay a clutch of eggs rather than giving live birth, hence their high reproduction rates. However, their hatchlings still need to be nursed afterward, and they're born without beaks for the sake of being able to breastfeed.
Their beaks can ultimately take one of several forms. Although it's a bit genetic, certain contraptions and techniques can determine how the beak forms over time as the Umok matures. Whether it's for more practical purposes or cosmetic appeal is also a pretty solid sign of an Umok's social class and standing.
Lastly, Umok sexual dimorphism is pretty minimal. Males and females look alike with breasts being one of the few solid indicators between the two. Despite this, the genders are regularly confused and part of the complicated Umok courtship process is determining the gender of your potential mate. This dimorphism is also why they tend to be pretty egalitarian with men and women being treated as equals and homosexual relationships being socially acceptable when compared to some of the more matriarchal or patriarchal species.
...And that's all I got for now. I really need to make a lore document or a species dossier at some point.
