While Wisp Vipers are a Closed Species
Kira do not claim to own, nor want to stop, anyone from making Sparkly Smoke Snakes
Kira acknowledges it is a very common and loved theme and one all of us here love to see!
The only thing that defines a Wispy, and what Meep does claim, is the inclusion of the world-building, lore, and community we've created.

Wispies will always be evolving and growing as we have fun together as a community.
That is what makes Wisp Vipers unique! Again, the only thing we claim to have ownership of is the inclusion of story & lore mechanics, not the appearance alone.
There is way more to them than just their appearance!

Do not attack, harass, or claim someone is 'ripping off' Wispies just because they have a Sparkly Smoke Snake.

- CREATION
Wisp Vipers are a species that was accidentally created by a Mutated Kira but have long since managed to prosper and be able to give birth to their own kind.
You can have it in their stories whether they have actual Wispie parents or if they were transformed from the Wisp Viper Kira
[More info to come]


- BIOLOGY
Wisp Vipers are Magic Dragon Snakes that range from 3ft to 10 ft tall [Extremely rare cases have shown other sizes!]
Despite the newer variant being labeled "Pygmy's" they have been seen to reach large heights too, and believe this to be an error on the original researcher's part for labeling them before he'd seen more of their body type.

It is an oddity to researchers today that a Kira's original transformation magic, transferred into her buddies in the form of magic smoke that has no transformational powers (That we know of so far), and more so that they have been able to keep and pass that magic down to their Kin. The Magic 'Glitter' Smoke has a range of almost any color/gradient pattern, but each typing has a common 'theme' of colors

We've found that the flaps of soft skin, wonderfully nicknamed 'Nubs', help power up and charge their magic. The more nubs the more potent their magic tends to be, although it's still pretty mediocre so far. These nubs can puff up and store unused magic, and with gentle pressure that magic can be released and deflated. Nubs most commonly do not have any sort of pores to help the smoke escape, so when too much magic is stored up on the points (or tips) of the hood, a small amount of smoke is often released.

Wisp Vipers with large hoods or many nubs can get overwhelmed or 'bloated' with magic smoke buildup. Because of this, they often get piercings in the hood to force some of the smoke to leave their body [though gauges often times keep the smoke in, appearing to be cosmetic and not for smoke releasing purposes. think of a cork being plugged in there]

All of their tails are strong enough to hold their weight which makes them great helpers for reaching high places. The tail is semi-prehensile and can grab things as needed. A Wisp Viper's tail is most commonly at least the length of their body.

*More things are being found out about this interestingly weird species every day!*
