November Donis-Delta/Rufous Orix

Post by BBkat »

It's 2.5 hours till they come out, and I didn't see a thread for them.

Soooo, speculations?

Delta Orix (3 shard)

This egg has stony tendrils poking out of it.

Spoiler
Delta orix hatchlings are normally sluggish, only mustering the effort for speed when some juicy prey is spotted. Though they hide among corals and rocks much of the time, many still fall prey to other, larger residents. Those that survive eventually grow too big for their nursery and leave for less crowded spaces, eventually settling on a patch of ocean floor that they maintain as their territory.

Spoiler
As they grow into adults, delta orix become increasingly difficult to see among the sands. Their grey, slightly rough skin blends perfectly into the ocean floor, and they partially bury their bodies to hide their brilliant blue markings. Only their tendrils will stick out of the sand, the blue spots acting as lures to draw in prey. Both their tendrils and neck spines have sensors that will notice nearby movement in the water, thus telling the orix when prey is near. It wil then rise rapidely from the seafloor and grab the unfortunate prey. When threatened, excited, or simply overjoyed, delta orix generate large amounts of electricity that looks like an underwater thunderstorm. Combined with their glowing blue markings, this display can dazzle and kill smaller creatures nearby. The largest specimen can exceed fifteen feet in length, making them a danger even for humans. Luckily, delta orix usually live in areas of the ocean too deep for humans to encounter them.
Spoiler
Orixes are a marine species of dragon. They have poor eyesight, only able to see things close to their faces, and therefore rely on their sensitive spines and tendrils to detect small movements in the water nearby for hunting. The larger delta orix are a muted grey in color and inhabit the ocean floor, while rufous orix are brightly colored and live in schools near the coast. Rufous orix are popular imagery in the Callisto Islands, with pictures of them adorning houses and carvings of them being common around the villages. Delta orix, however, are seen as passive and lethargic and lazy children are often called dull as a delta.
Rufous Orix (5 shard)
Image
This orange egg has peculiar tendrils poking through its shell.

Image
Spoiler
These bright orange hatchlings are quite active and playful. They enjoy chasing not just each other, but any nearby creatures who stray too close. Adults keep a close eye on them and are very protective and caring.
Image
Spoiler
Rufous orix are significantly smaller than their grey relatives, rarely growing larger than a seal. They hide among the seaweed in shallow waters, remaining very still and drifting with the water. When potential prey approaches, they use their innate earth magic to raise a ring of sand around them, cutting off any retreat for the prey. Although they hunt alone, rufous orix are gregarious, nesting in small colonies at the base of seaweed clumps and wrapping their tails around a frond to avoid drifting away while asleep. Rufous orix are curious and playful, and when they are not hunting they often follow boats or watch people swimming. While not harmful, their magic can temporarily maroon small fishing boats when a sandbank suddenly appears right under its keel. Therefore, many fishermen regard them as a pest and try to avoid areas where they live in greater numbers.

I think they'll be magical space cows with five heads and two legs. They'll also have one wing, singular.

One head where the four legs would go on a normal cow, with the fifth where its tail should be. The two legs come off its shoulder blades, while the singular wing sprouts off the neck like a head.
10/10 would buy

Also 10/10 oh man.

Only like 55 minutes before these two beautiful ideas don't come to fruition and I cry myself to sleep. :italian:

Not likely to be Halloween themed(that would be the October one, those arer the ones that are usually spooky)
Possibly Thanksgiving-ish but, we do have a thanksgiving event(aka the Great Turkatrice flood).

Description:
Spoiler
Orixes are a strange, oceangoing species of dragon. Both species possess brightly colored markings in a variety of spirals and stripes, and except for the large spiral on each flipper, the markings differ between individuals. Orixes have poor eyesight - only able to see things close to their faces - and therefore rely on their sensitive spines and tendrils to detect small movements in the water nearby for hunting. If it weren't for the similar appearances, they might have been mistaken for totally different species by the magi who discovered them. Delta orix are far more muted in color, being mostly grey and lacking the extra spot markings of the rufous orix, and are also much larger. Rufous orix are more common and can be found in groups much closer to shore. While delta orix possess a powerful electric magic, able to deliver strong, directed bolts, rufous orix possess a much weaker earth magic.
So, ocean dragons!

Delta orix hatchlings move sluggishly, but are capable of quick bursts of speed when some juicy prey is spotted. Though they hide among corals and rocks much of the time, many still fall prey to larger predators. Those that survive eventually grow too big for their nursery and leave for less crowded spaces. They will settle on a patch of ocean floor to maintain as their territory, building a burrow in the sand.

It looks like an outdated version of the description was accidentally used for these. I've just updated it to the correct one, so the descriptions will be a bit different now.
