^a very orange example. :D

What's ARE these things? Plant hydras. :D From somewhere in the depths of mindspace. We aren't sure exactly where, but here they are, ready to infiltrate the nexus. They're relatively rare and unseen creatures, even in their native lands, but here they are.
Some basics about the creatures:
Intelligence Level: Sentient and Sapient, though many find this surprising. They usually choose not to communicate with words, and many don't bother to learn a language. If it's pertinent and to their benefit, they will. But they'll probably still use it rarely.
Breedability: It's a mindspace creature, so.. just about anything. :D
Alignment/usual temperament: Anything from mindspace is inherently neutral, and any species from mindspace has the potential to display any personality characteristics. That said, they tend towards being a bit more on the malicious side, and have a reputation for being remarkably ill-tempered.
Natural Group Structure: Loners or very small family group.
Bondability: They can bond, and be bonded to. Slightly more likely to be bonded to, rather then bond right out, but it's possible, and not particularly unusual.
Reproduction: No specific ritual, lay seed-like eggs, which don't need to incubate. Eggs hatch by being buried in fertile soil, absorbing some of the soil's nutrients, and hatching whenever the baby is large enough to survive outside the egg. They are good for one year, and frost or extreme heat and dryness will kill them. Warmth helps, but is not necessary.

And now for.. abilities!
Abilities wrote: Photosynthesis: Because they are part plant, they can do photosynthesis, using the sun to make glucose, which they then utilize as food. They can exist very successfully doing this alone, however, it's best for them to balance this with some meat food as well. Also, due to this, parts of them can be eaten- most notably their thorns, the outer layer of their skin, and their petal/leaf crests, all of which they shed annually.
Sunlight Empowerment: Any magic they do becomes stronger if done in full sunlight.
Telepathy: They can communicate through telepathy, as well as verbal speech.
Sun-based Magic: Using sunlight energy to accomplish things: potentially, anything the hydra can accumulate enough willpower to do, but more usually things like concentrating and directing beams of sunlight and such.
Plant manipulation: Manipulating plant movement, as well as factors such as growth and what sort of chemicals the plants synthesize-- potentially, they could de-poison-ify a plant, or make it more poisonous.
Venom: They are naturally venomous; their saliva is venomous, so their teeth are coated in it. The thorns on their backs naturally secrete this venom, and their claws are hallow and contain the venom. The venom causes temporary paralysis, followed by death if it's given in a high enough dose. It is incredibly painful, but rendered useless if separated from the hydra's body for three minutes prior to ingestion.
Accepting as candidates to take these homes: Bonding candidates, sponsors, and dragonry sponsors (preferably with an envoy they can go home with.) Don't necessarily have to be on a page-- they can be skeleton templates on here, so long as i get pertinent information about the character (which would include a bit of personality, if they're not paged.)

Interrelatedness: None of the plant hydras I'm giving out are related, in the sense that they come from the same clutch, unless you want them to be. :D they also do not come from any specific event in mindspace, like a hatching or bonding event or some such. You're free with the history for these guys.

hydraspawn:
The hydraspawn are from clutches, so they're all related to one another.

Each clutch will have thirteen slots. :D people sign up for the slots. you do this either with a character to bond/sponsor on a webpage, or something like a dragon trade. :3 each person may get up to two [for the first round, anyway, and we'll see how that works].

<hr>
so I'm sitting here, watching my friends play windwaker and doodling, and this comes to me:

Image
(photo courtesy of my ickle laptop. :D hello ness finger! sorry for the bad quality, but you can generally see it.)

I stare at it for a bit, and then decide that, holy damn, i wanna color it and make it a creature! :D whootah!

If i did that, i was thinking of breeding it/her, and also maybe giving a few purebreds out to people on here. :D one planthydra per person, and two or something of the hybrid young. :3

So here's my first round of questions for you all:
A- would you be interested in being the owner of a planthydra?
B- would you be interested in the offspring of a planthydra?
C- if yes to b, would you happen to have any males (or interested females-- mindspace is strange like that) that you could offer to breed with her?
D- if yes to c, could i maybe has some of those links? :D? (and a cheezburgur?)

if you guys are interested, i'll toss you up some info and wahtnot and get to drawing a more serious image. otherwise, i'll just keep working on the not-so-super-secret thing i have planned-- jousting dragons. woot!

Kegawath glows, and Cac-Yau has extra heads. I'm sure that they'd love to participate in whatever way you'd want.

Otherwise there's Virus and his girlfriend Ihrinnah the plant-chick, who have a whorling named Utushi who glows AND has two heads...

I'd be up for some of that! (XD Darn you, Phe, stealin' the LSoH theme~!)

As for hydras... I don't have much that are available at the moment. o.o I'd be willing to offer Ahiezer'zjan for his tail-ness but Ezekiela'khan wouldn't be available.

:o I dunno what else I have! Oh!

Taursius is one of your Phlegathon Cold Styx Beasts... fire/flower critters might be cool? XD I dunno! (I'm so rusty with dragoning~)

For whatever it is, I feel like the dragon I did for one of you Nexians back in the day applies:

As I recall, Mcagon, the Mushroom Dragon.

Also? Awesome looking hydras. I voted earlier XD but couldn't speak until now.

Colored plant hydra. :D

Nessi is really tired, becuase it's five in the morning, so i'm gonna go sleep now. but they're done! :D they'll have a different base, but yes.

If you want to start sending in bonds/sponsors, go right ahead. form is on my little nessi website thing which is linked in my siggy. you can just have a dragonry sponsor, too, or someone not-on-a-page. :3 these guys are intelligent but usually don't talk, they tend to keep to themselves, and they can bond, though they do so rarely. They tend to be the bonders, rather then the bondees-- in the sense that they'd be more likely to bond by going to another dragon's clutch and bonding that yong, rather than bonding right out themselves.

more tomarrow. when more awake. feel free to make requesies, too. gonna play around more tomarrow. whee.

two or possibly three per dragonry, please. D: sorry. got lots to do. but there will be hybrids, so whee!

They're awesome, in a really creepy kind of way!

O_o I'm just wondering... is the background logo and info permanent for all critters? If I'm sending somebody in to you, I'd be linking to your Weyr anyways, and I find the pink/purple/etc colours to be a little clashy (though that's just my personal opinion!) XD I'm also kind of worried (as a friggin' oldbie complainer) that having that kind of background paraphernalia is going to de-separate the Nexus from other adoptables places. ^^' Durr, I hope that didn't sound mean. I really like these hydras themselves! Their creepy smiles are just perfect.

Some sort of background would be, or is intended to be. I kinda just got in the habit of it when I was doing adoptable shops on some websites. :D Quick reference for me, they've got all the info right there. :3 i try to change the colors around so they don't clash so much with the creatures, I just get lazy with examples.
Occasionally they're built in to the image (when ness is too lazy to make it transparent at the get go, which is usually when I do things for myself. :x silly me.)

I'd rather keep them there, but if you all prefer (and I'm assuming you all do), I'll give draggies to you without them. :3
