Odd little furry thing...

Post by Shiolar »

For the moment, I'm calling it an altilemus. They're creatures about the size of a cat that live in the mountains around Mirus. However, they're more primate than feline, hence the opposable thumbs on all four feet. They climb just about everything, including dragons, and are generally quite mischievious and somewhat disaster prone. They're cute, they're fluffy, they have nice feathered wings and a really long tail.

They live in groups of twenty or so, and while they don't bond, as such, they do form exclusive attachments to certain people or other altilemus'. Roughly one in a hundred is fully sentient and capable of bonding a dragon, so I might do some for candidates later on. The non-sentient ones make very good pets, as long as the owner doesn't mind having many of their more delicate possessions accidentally destroyed.

Altilemus' eat fruit, berries, flowers, leaves, and anythings else that catches their interest, although never meat, fish or insects. They do like to eat shiny things, though, like jewelery, or really just anything small enough to get in their mouths.

They come in a variety of natural colours, I think; white, black, grey, brown, red, cream, and so on, but not blue or purple or anything. Except maybe the special, rare sentient ones.

This one is Vetch, Mirus' resident altilemus.

Absolutely adorable, Shiolar; it reminds me, more than anything, of a lemur - well, a lemur with wings. :D Will they be adoptable at some point?

It was originally supposed to be a lemur, when I was drawing it, only it didn't really look quite right, so I gave it wings...

I'm thinking they will be adoptable at some point. Whenever I get a few coloured, really. And assuming people want them.

'Epic' is most concisely defined as something that, were you to do it in view of a person in real life, they'd pretty much have to sleep with you immediately to maintain order in the universe.
I sneezed. It seems to have reshaped reality. My bad.
