- [SIZE=9pt]Description[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]: First appearing small cute and cuddly, the diminutive Pythros walks along branches and structures using his hind legs and wings, much like a bat. On the inner side of these wings, the Pythros has a set of claws that allow it to cling to wood and structures. Behind the Pythros is a tail that is primarily used for balance and flight control when it travels. When threatened or hungry, the Pythros takes air into a special chemical pouch in its neck which causes it to inflate into something just as terrifying as it is adorable.[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=9pt]Breathes[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]: Type 1 [/SIZE]
- [SIZE=9pt]Average height of adults[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]: .23 meters[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=9pt]Average length of adults[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]: .8 meters[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=9pt]Skin color[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]: Tan[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=9pt]Hair color[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]: White, Cream, Tan, Brown, occasionally Black[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=9pt]Distinctions[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]: Small and seemingly innocent, the furred and winged Pythros has been known to lure in creatures by appearing as either prey, or a playful friend. However, when its prey is close, the Pythros inhales air into a chemical pouch in its throat which causes the deadly hemotoxin within to aerosolize and inflate. The Pythros then breathes out a green cloud that spreads about two meters wide. Anything creature that breathes within this cloud will find its blood instantly thinning and seeking to escape their body in an incredibly unpleasant and fatal process. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Pythros give birth to their young which are hairless for the first few weeks of their birth. Upon growing their fur, the only read difference between young and old is their size.[/SIZE] - [SIZE=9pt]Male Pythros have thinner tails than females which use their tails to carry their young.[/SIZE]

- [SIZE=9pt]General behavior[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]: Usually avoiding conflict with creatures of the Veran forests and jungles, Pythros build nests up int the canopies where they sleep through the night. Through the day, they use their docile and adorable appearance to lure in other creatures that they then surround in a cloud of deadly hemotoxin which is stored in their neck. Upon being gassed by the cloud which can be breathed up to a meter out from the Pythros, the victim usually dies within three minutes as its blood things and begins to leak from its various orifices. During the process, the Pythros will follow its prey, now deflated and adorable again. When the prey is dead, it flies down to feast on its new meal.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Pythros often live in small colonies never extending past, and rarely reaching twenty in number.[/SIZE] - [SIZE=9pt]Upon being born, Pythros live with their mother for about one month, spending several weeks of this time curled up in the safety of their mother’s tail. While capable of exhaling toxins from birth, they can’t create fully dangerous clouds until the end of their nurturing period. Use of their hemotoxin before this age often leads to small albeit deadly puffs of green smoke.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]HISTORICAL INFORMATION[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Native to Veradune, the Pythros are rarely messed with due to their toxic nature. Because of their unassuming nature and way of killing creatures far bigger than themselves, these miniscule menaces have become an apex predator in the jungles and forests of Veradune and are rightly feared by the Zorren population, and the bandits as well when they had taken over the planet. Occasionally, there have been stories of Zorrens finding young Pythros and raising them to be more than capable guard animals, though this is considered playing with fire and extremely dangerous. There have been a few attempts to capture and domesticate Pythros, and while it has proven possible to capture a small sample and remove their toxin pouches, the dangers of the species, and of Veradune as a whole, has prevented any success in attempts to create a long term domesticated population.[/SIZE]
