My original species known as a Growlaxy.

Please...PLEASE do not steal this. I might just die after how much work this was and how attached to it I am. This is a CLOSED species. Not to be used or created by others. They WILL be up for adoption/sale soon.

The Growlaxy

The Growlaxy is a mammal that is covered with both fur and feathers. It has a large tail that can open its tufts to mimic the flowers of its homeland, even having a beautiful gem in the center. This is a form of camouflage for safety. The ‘breeds’ of the Growlaxies are based on what flower they are genetically designed to emulate.

The feathers around the creature’s neck and cheeks can be flared, much like the gills of an angry beta fish. This is to make them look more dominant to each other, as well as to impress a mate! Usually it just makes them more adorable though.

The Growlaxy species always has wings; however, they are too small for actual flight. The wings are only used to slow the speed of falling, and sometimes to glide, if the Growlaxy is strong enough.

Newborns:

When first born, the Growlaxy is very small with a large tail. It is born with its tail tufts folded backwards and encasing it, much like a seed or pod. Due to that, they are simply referred to as ‘Pods’ during that stage of life.
Human forms!

There are three types of Growlaxies!

1. Sprouts! These are Growlaxies that only have feral form! They are too young and weak to take any humanoid form.
2. Blossoms! These are Growlaxies who can take the form of a human child.
3. The RAREST form of Growlaxy is the Timber. Very few Growlaxies ever become a Timber; it takes great strength, and a very long lifespan. These types of Growlaxies are the only ones with the ability to take the form of an adult humanoid.
