Changed the adepts head shape, and species head shapes are varied per ethnic group.

The difference between the ethnic body shapes has nothing to do with literal human ethnic groups, it's simply the way the alternate forms have adapted, and how the human form has taken on a certain look.

German adepts and Austrian adepts can be easily confused, but simple signs can identify the differences in their dragon forms.

German:

- Body shape is very similar to a large cheetah.
-Excellent at stalking and high speed chases.
-They lack the strong protruding chin point that the Austrians have.
-Their protruding jaw pieces are on top, for hooking prey and fruit into their jaws.
-Avid tree loafers and climbers, they have two thumbs to help climb and pick berries. The thumbs curl over top the hand when running as they run on their fingers.
-Less Jaw spines.
-more of a curved tyrannosaur like upper jaw, Thicker upper jaw then lower, the opposite of Austrian adepts.
-Extremely long prehensile tail.
-Wings are not extremely long, but the fingers spread out widely for speed flight.

Austrian:

-Body shape is very similar to a lion.
-High amount of stamina, stalks prey for days.
-Ingests a large amount of nuts, insects, and lesser burrowing mammals, which explains the chin bone.
-Protruding jaw pieces are on the lower jaw, used to aid in swallowing and biting off large amounts of meat.
-Mostly tree stump loafers or swimmers, they have fairly stiff tails used for powerful swimming and in-flight steering.
-More jaw spines aid in marking territory, and as camouflage.
-Lower jaw is more curved and thicker then the upper, as in general they have a thicker head then the German adepts.
-Thick sturdy tail used for in flight and swimming rudder, extremely powerful.
-Long fingered wings, mostly for stamina flight and gliding.

Fun facts!

German adepts ride air currents, matching the Austrians flight stamina as they can also sleep in short bursts while gliding long distances.

Austrian adepts fly much lower then German adepts, but a German adept can only fly for approximately a day and a half without air currents, while an Austrian can steadily fly for nearly a week without the aid of air currents.

German adepts are built for hunting, but rather only partially eat their prey after a successful hunt. The other half they leave in the sun to eat later as carrion.

Austrian adepts are extremely picky eaters, and will devour fallen prey even if it's still alive!

Austrian adepts and German adepts in the wild form relationships together, and will even have grooming sessions in a large group. Certain adepts have favourite grooming buddies and will occasionally refuse to be groomed by any other adept.

German adepts have the ability to ingest nearly anything, and when starving will even ingest tree bark and forest decay.

German and Austrian adepts can imitate nearly any kind of sound, and inflate their spotted neck pouches to make the sound amplified to attract prey or other adepts.

Austrian adepts are the only adept that have 'seldom packs' which is a pack that parts ways and makes a long circular trek for food and prey, returning when they make the entire circle, which could be anywhere from once every 5 weeks to once a year.

German adepts sleep for only 7 hours everyday, while taking naps inbetween. Austrian adepts sleep for 9 hours when not hunting.

German adepts are extremely playful, and will even coax others into participating in a type of hide-and-go-seek or tag. They are very big tricksters, and will lead on other predators like wolves or pumas by dragging a leg of food around before running off with it.

All adepts have chameleon skin, and while Austrians use it to blend in, Germans use it to prank other animals or other adepts. Another element to hide and go seek and tag.

Austrian adepts have celebratory food ceremonies, and will fill their throat pouches with fruits and nuts when they meet up with their pack. Both adept species can fill their throat pouches of food.

Adepts in general greet each other by touching noses together and looking each other in the eyes. The more submissive of the two will have their third eye close first. Shoulder bumping and cheek touching is also acceptable as a greeting.

Both species of adept have a poisonous needle inside the end of their tail, the flesh is pulled back and the muscle is pushed forward when they feel threatened.

All adepts can communicate easily with any animal, as they can immitate and understand virtually any sound.

Adeptialatists have multiple forms of their main natural form. This is anthro, sphinx, quad and extremely partial. This doesn't include their human form.

A healthy adept can change their size as well as imitate the form of 4-5 different animals if they are healthy.
