Nestly: This is my original species, called the ZYMP.
Read more if you're interested, otherwise, feel free to skip. xD



[ Zymps are armless, but make up for it with their telepathic tails, emitted from the special organs located in their rumps. There are three colored spots that can be seen glowing when they use their special 'limbs'.
The bottoms of their feet have a suction like surface to help them climb and stand strong.

They can come in a variety of different colors, sizes, markings, and 'fluffiness'.

Each has its own personality of course, but for the most part, they are intelligent, yet playful and pretty curious.
As they grow older they become a lot more careful and cautious.

History: First found in tropical areas with large, winding trees. No one knew how they were found atop the high branches since they acquired no arms to climb with.
Until later when they were spotted using strange, long, transparent limbs to hoist themselves around and build with them.

They were often captured, whole villages at a time, and used to carry supplies from town to town. The Zymps quickly figured out how to pick locks and escape with their amazing psychic limbs. It was believed at one point that they could somewhat connect to the spiritual world, since they could communicate with each other without needing to talk, even from a good distance away.
Often groups of enslaved Zymp would formulate plans together to escape, without anyone else knowing.

A terrible collar was invented, decades later, that was locked onto a zymp's neck and suppressed its telepathic powers.
No longer able to communicate with each other, and unable to use their vital limbs, these Zymp became broken and practically gave up. Slaved Zymps had such broken spirits, that even their young became unable to use their limbs.
The "domesticated" Zymp started dying at early ages, and keeping them "collared", soon became illegal, due to the decrease of their health and breeding.
Such intelligent creatures finally started to become respected, rather than used. Especially once they were able to learn how to speak with detailed words.
(Wild, uncultivated Zymps speak with each other through their minds, only vocalizing sounds of stress, happiness, or simple phrases)

About the Breed: Zymps are born incredibly unable to fend for themselves. They can't even stand up straight until at least 3 months of age. It takes about a year for them to really use their telepathic abilities.
The females usually have fluffier rumps to warm their newborn babies while they're hairless. It's one of the only big differences in gender.

As they grow, the longer they can extend their telepathic limbs.

About Cymbol: This guy here is named Cymbol! He's a happy-go-lucky dude, just wanting to have a good time and go on adventures. He's never in the same place twice. ]




The species is based on a creature I was trying to make for the pet site Subeta, when I worked there.
They didn't use it, so their loss, it's mine now! So I decided to revamp it and create stats on them!
