And for those wondering what I meant by Mudakiel being 'special'. In all of the Noxia known, Mudakiel is the only one to have in essence been 'tamed' to an extent, he is still a ravenous beast like any other Noxia but he is domesticated enough to where he knows how to control the beastial urges that his species comes with.
Mudakiel lives on the Mortal Plane where he stays with his human Corentin. Because Mudakiel lives on the Mortal plane he has developed certain features that allow him to be better adapted to the bright light and heat of the areas in which he travels. Mudakiel's body markings (As seen in his color reference) are what he has brought onto himself to help regulate the heat of his body. The large white blotches help to deflect light and help to keep his body from boiling since they are in essence giant tar pits with legs. If a Noxia were to 'boil' it would cause a lot of internal gas that could make them implode.
Mudakiel's darker colors help to absorb heat when he needs it, think of it like the big sails of certain things like the Dimetrodon, Stegosaurus, etc. from the prehistoric age. The biggest development for Mudakiel is, while his eyes still follow the same pattern as normal Noxia (Normal Irish, Dark Pupil, Light Sclera) his eyes have developed to take and withstand the bright light that comes with living outside the caverns. It took him years to get used to but his eyes are adapted to the bright light and he has larger pupils that are much thicker than a normal Noxia's. Mudakiel's eyes are very noticeable even at a distance.
Corentin will often ride Mudakiel and thus he is often seen with a saddle on his back, the saddle loops around his shoulders and under his armpits where it connects into the middle of his under chest and into the second straps there, the strap continues to the third set of straps and it firmly stays in place by another set of straps that wrap around his neck. The saddle is meant to be comfortable for Corentin to ride as Mudakiel's movements are very bumpy when walking.
Overall Mudakiel is very docile and if you were to ever actually run into him you could facecling to him and he would allow it. Typically Mudakiel keeps himself at a 'standard' size that's just slightly taller than a human but not as intimidating as a full sized Noxia would be. Think of him as a tall (very tall) horse) where your head would just come up to the top of his shoulder.
