Floranole Species Sheet
Completed live on stream at Runty Ink! https://www.twitch.tv/runtyink
Singular: Floranole
Plural: Floranoles
Possessive: Floranole’s
Floranoles are a species of cold blooded, highly adaptive reptiles whose visual characteristics are just as vast and colourful as the existing plant population. Despite having several commonly shared traits, a large portion of a Floranole’s body is reflective of its own natural environment, and often mimics the visuals and size of the various plants, fruits, vegetables, flowers and even trees from across the globe. All of these traits are developed from their own genetic lineage, and although Floranoles are capable of crossbreeding, the resulting child will take the majority of its traits from one parent, with only a few subtle differences. Floranoles typically stick to the demographic of their reflecting plant species and utilize their bodies as a means of camouflage, as well as a lure for prey.
Shared traits:
- Large eyes where the medial canthus, or the edge of the eye, is connected directly to the corners of the mouth
- A pair of large dewlaps on either side of the neck that can expand and contract as a display
- Long dexterous arms that can rotate (supinate) for climbing and grabbing
- Thickly weighted back legs for sitting upright and holding a grip, but not for standing
- Opposable thumb joints on their hands and feet, which comprise of a long sickle-like claw for gripping and hunting
- Aside from the thumb, Floranoles have three digits on each hand and foot
Unique traits:
- Head and mouth shape can vary greatly, from reptilian/mammalian/avian/etc. as long as the mouth and eyes connect
- Floranoles have primarily smooth scaled bodies, although small patches of feathers, fur and plates are possible
- Any number of external ears, horns, spikes, vines, petals, or other plant-like traits
- The tail is usually a Floranole’s most distinctly plant-shaped region and often directly replicates the part
- Patterns and colours of any sort, which typically match their environment or plant variation
Floranoles are carnivorous reptiles whose diets are determined by their own size and physical lures. Smaller fruit-sized Floranoles are content with eating bugs and larva, while larger tree-sized Floranoles are more likely to eat small-to-medium sized animals and birds that draw near. It is also not considered unusual for some larger Floranoles to prey on their much smaller kin, as sub-species rarely intermingle and their difference in size puts them at vastly different points on the food chain.
While much of a Floranole’s body may greatly resemble plants and entire fruits/vegetables, all of these parts are still comprised of animal muscle, cartilage and other such matter. To further convince their prey of their plant-like lures, Floranoles who are based on scented plants such as flowers, fruits or vegetables may secrete a chemical that perfectly resembles these features.
Most Floranoles have elongated jaws with rows of thin, sharp teeth. Their mouth contains a long, flat, sticky tongue which can be flicked outwards in order to grab smaller bugs and larva from the ground and the crooks of trees.
Although Floranoles do have rather stocky legs and lower halves, they do not walk in an upright gait. Rather, they crawl, waddle and occasionally leap from place to place. Their bodies are not very well developed for longer strides or running, as they prefer to stick to one spot and have their prey come to them. Their slow metabolisms are adapted to a very patient lifestyle.
Floranoles exist where the climate can support their cold-blooded metabolism, and wherever plant-life of any sort can be found. They are far more varied in their population and colours in the tropical regions, and thin out the closer one gets to the poles. Floranoles tend to be somewhat duller in colour the further they are from the equator and have a higher chance of showing fur/feather traits.
Floranoles may or may not have claws on either their hands or feet, though all Floranoles have a large talon for a thumb digit.
Floranoles can adapt to the local, common languages in most urban settings. However, they also have a wide range of specific vocalizations, mostly consisting of chirps, clicks and thrums. Their spoken words are often riddled with these clicks and thrums while they speak. Their most distinct call, referred to as a ‘yadda’, consists of a raspy barking scream through two puffs of air that serves as a territorial warning call.
