The chest mouth species i said id make.
for the most part they got black horns. Or bone colored
I think I'll make this an open species. If anyone is actually interested in making one. However i want to S e e e e. And if you do make one, please credit the original species to me.
Or! I could make you a design for $20 USD if youre not the artist type.
Any questions about them, feel free to ask me about it.
[[whoa. Mane style* ill fix that later]]

Well since they never open their actual mouths, they communicate through a form of telepathic speech. When they do say actual audible words, its through grunts, groans, and growls produced by the vocal chords at the base of the neck, just before the neck splits to an open mouth.
As for eating, the main mouth on the chest is where food goes in. The tentacles are extremely strong and will pull food into the mouth where it is digested by strong digestive acids.

*cracks knuckles*
They are carnivorous scavengers, or when easy meals are unavailable they will hunt for food themselves.
They would not hesitate to eat a human being if they were hungry enough, unless this human has proved themselves an ally (ie: feeds them, has bonded with them previously, etc). Otherwise they would see a 'person' as just another animal.
Reproductive wise, aside from their genitals, there arent a lot of characteristics suggesting whether they are male or female to the naked eye. They find mates with a combination of a series of mating calls loud enough to be heard miles away and secondarily a display of strength through the males fighting for the females attention.
Organ wise, its much like the general mamalian reproductive system, the males having penises that sheath themselves completely into the body through an opening located behind that tuft of fur at the crotch.

Okay :V More questions!
Do they have a mating season, or just whenever they feel like bellowing love calls?
Do they have any natural predators? If they're scavengers normally something must be the apex predator. And how far can their tentacles extend? How strong are they, and if they are severed, do they grow back? And if they do, do they grow back fast enough for them to not starve to death?
If they have telepathy, can they use psychic attacks?

They have a mating season in the fall. However, its not unusual for them to practice casual intercourse throughout the year if they are able to find an equally interested mate.
As for predators, they do have several. Not many but several. Larger, or simply faster creatures. The Lukya prefer not to fight when they don't have to. They are rather slow considering how top heavy they are. Even on all fours, their upper muscles are not strong enough for them to run very fast, though their hind legs have exceptionally strong muscles, mostly used for jumping. However they can stun foes with their exceptionally loud screeching/screaming which can deafen a predator for a few moments, long enough for them to escape.
Typically the longest any tentacle will stretch is four feet. They are made of a sort of elastic substance. At the shortest, its one and a half feet. The tentacles are strong enough so that when they do need to capture prey, its extremely difficult for it to escape the mass of tentacles. However they can be cut with a sharp enough object. As long as the tentacle is not ripped away from the very base, it can grow back. However if less than one or two tentacles are remaining, it will be near impossible for them to keep prey from escaping as their arms are hardly strong enough to hold back anything particularly feisty. They will either scavenge or die.
Their long claws are mostly for climbing since they are mountainous creatures.
Their telepathic power is only useful for communication. They have no attacking power with their telepathy.

I believe theyd be just as diverse as any other species. Stronger brutes, agile ones, ones that prefer to hide, ones better at hiding, trusting ones, etc.
By default, theyre pretty docile until they need to eat, are generally slow runners, high jumpers/climbers, reluctant fighters. That would be instinct, basics. But It would possibly vary somewhat from person to person.

intresting i'm planning to draw one myself so i try to get as much info and it will take a few weeks to get a good sketch my drawing skillz aren't that good but you know what they say you need to start somewhere
and on with the questions
do they live in packs or alone or a bit civalized? (sorry for my spelling)
and after they have mated do the partners stay together?
and last one in this comment, how do they live, like in made houses or caves (what i guess since they live in mountains)

A wild Lukya stays in a small "pack". However the pack consists of 5 to 10 others who that are dispersed among a single territory. The only time they meet together and live in close quarters are in the winter, when food is more scarce and they must rely more heavily on each other to help hunt for food, or during the mating season, during which they fight, eat, and mate in close quarters of each other.
They are not "civilized" in the manner of making homes and living in them as neighbors, however they are extremely intelligent beings, picking up on language and behaviors of other creatures rather quickly.
The mates may or may not stay together. For the most part they will part ways after the young are born. However, some do form a strong bond with one another. It is more rare than the prior, however, it happens that two will be so attached to one another that they will become mates for life, hunting and living together year round and ignoring other suitors during the mating season.
They live in caves in the colder months or when they feel the need for shelter, however in the warmer months or whenever they are able, they much prefer to lay about outside on the rocks and in the sunlight.

Okay then I will go on but if I need to stop just say so
on with the questions
If they hunt what kind of prey do they hunt?
Do they wait by an predator who made a kill or just 'stumble' up on a kill?
And if they have a 'master' do they act on how they are treated like good and bad
on with the questions

They hunt anything that looks weak enough to take down. Very rarely will they attack a strong, healthy, full growncreature or something bigger than themselves.
If they stumble upon a kill theyll eat it, if they spot a predator already feasting on a kill, they will wait for the predator to leave so they can eat it. Their stomach acids are strong enough to digest bone in an adult, so even if all that is left is bone and gristle, they wouldnt mind eating that too.
As for taming, with a good master that takes good care of them, feeding for them, caring for their well being, treating them like family, they are extremely loyal pets. They'll follow orders to a T even if its difficult for them to perform. With a bad owner, they are more likely to get horribly depressed and lethargic rather than lash out. They would have to be treated in such a poor or vicious manner for quite some time to become violent. For this reason, they wouldnt make very good pit fighting animals.

they would be great playmates for childeren and good helpers then if they get treated right
even more questions:
how are they when they are born like with dogs blind, or like humans?
how intelligent are they, like are they quick learners and can they be teach to speak normally?
and how quick is there trust earned or does that depend on how the personality is from an Lukya?

They are born not blind, but with very dim eye sight. The young must stay very near their mothers for the first few weeks until their eye sight develops.
They are highly intellegent in that they can learn a large volume of things. They can be taught in time to speak just about like a human would. However they are slow learners. Slow but efficient.
Trust is earned in different time spans for each Lukya, however generally it takes a while to gain complete trust if it is an adult already. If it is but a young one, its of course much easier.

okay
so how long do they stay with the mother? and is there a rare chance they will form a pack with only the family without incest of course
and what do they fear most? if they are wild and tamed
and what is exactly the difference in the winter and summer coat?
and maybe an idea for you make an separate text submitton with the info you give of the people who want to know more of the species so you can refer to that instead of repeatingly answer it and when a new one comes answer it and add it to the text

They stay with their mothers until they reach puberty. Which is about 10 years. (They can live up to 200 in captivity 150 in the wild)
In the case of a pack its likely that a good part of the pack is related. The family members can recognize each others calls and avoid them when the mating season is in play.
They most fear anything that could cause them deathly harm. Wild or tamed.
Winter coat is a lot thicker and more tightly packed, especially around the lower half. Their manes stay the same year round but the extremities such as the hands feet and tail change fur thickness as does the fur on the underbelly. In the summer the hairs shed to become shorter and farther apart. Less densely packed to allow heat to better escape.

ERH MAH GERRDD. I love them, I must make one!! I shall be sure to flail all over you when I finish making it.. :D And if I make a female, do they have breasts of some sort? Not sure if they like feed their young milk or something else. Maybe with BLOOOD/bird-style regurgitation.
They have no breasts. Females are on average smaller and more lithe than the males. Overall more 'feminine' in appearance.
The young are fully capable of eating meat right away. However the mother has to rip into the meat for them, or find prey suitably small enough for them to digest and drag into their mouths. Which may mean ripping off pieces and chunks for the child.

Curious about this, actually. They are intelligent enough to hide from predators if I read correctly somewhere above. If one of them was in an environment where its main predator were human, for example, is it conceivable that they could try to appear more natural by
1. wearing some sort of garment
and 2. pushing out said garment slightly with two tentacles to imitate the bulge of breasts?

Well if their main predators were humans, conceivably they would be more likely to try and stay in areas where they could more easily hide from them rather than imitate them.
If they were however, attempting to integrate into some sort of human/anthro society, then i would think they would attempt to appear more natural by wearing clothes/garments/attempting to imitate genitals. But the latter would more likely only be an option for those who are for some reason superbly dedicated to fitting in rather than remaining their natural form.

edited his design slightly and gave him clothes ^W^ http://www.furaffinity.net/view/14783660/
The lukya are like a platypus in the fact that they lay eggs rather than give live birth. The eggs they lay are considerably small, and once the baby hatches it grows rather quickly. So a pregnant lukya wouldnt have horrible trouble with her eggs, but for a particularly large litter it could cause a bit of uncomfortable swelling in the stomach region. but no moreso than if they consume a particularly large piece of prey. Very elastic skin.
After a few weeks it would be large enough to walk on its own rather than be carried.

Sorry i didnt notice the comment! It got a little burried. I dont know if youre still interested but at this exact moment I am not open for commissions in general. However, if youd like, feel free to check my journals. Ill post when I open up again and around then you can probably snag a custom. Havent done one in forever and Id be up to design it again. uvu
