I briefly mentioned these cuties in a journal a while back, but here's a couple previews to should the variations and visual traits they have. And here's a bit of info on them aswell~

There's two distinct "cape" types that vary in length and thickness, the butt cape, and the hood cape. The cape is actually a tendril/tail that is always flat tiped, and very wide. They use their "cape" for many important things, like balance, hunting, defense, and mating. For defense it's used in a way to mock and control it's opponent, much like a matador with a bull. They use it to hunt by distracting and blinding them withing, and them constricting their prey until it goes limp, though they will occasionally catch insects mid flight and eat them out of reflex, much like cats do. Their capes are used for mating and territorial disputes in the same way that a male peacock uses their tail for the same things, puffing it up and sticking it out to intimidate and grab attention, though Capes will also wiggle their "cape" around a bit during this act, aswell.

THESE ARE A CLOSED SPECIES. DO NOT MAKE YOUR OWN WITHOUT MY EXPLICIT PERMISSION.
