Sunnivore: Alien Creature
Body: The sunnivores body is covered in thick leather skin tough enough to resist a knife/blade as it is tough to penetrate, with very short fur coat that sheds in autumn-summer before growing back in the spring through winter, it is well built to live in a more warmer/humid climate so fur is not needed but sometimes it can get very cold in the winter.
Fur- The sunnivores body is covered in a very short coat of fur usually only through spring to winter, some being born with nun and some having fur all year round, it is common for the fur to fall of as the sunnivore grows up and turn to elders, with the younglings of sunnivores being the ones to be fully covered in fur as it is harder for the younger sunnivores to soak up heat.
Skin- Thick leather like skin, hard enough to resist most injuries, such as falling, blades and more, highly resilient and fast healers.
Spikes- The spikes are tipped with a paralyzing venom that soaks in through the skin and secretes through the tips, used to defend themselves against danger/predators or sometimes when they do decide to hunt.
Nose- Their sense of smell is excellent, as they have four tendril like appendages similar to that of a trunk almost that they use to smell with. they are able to smell for miles and can pinpoint an object and how much of an object is in that certain area.
Glow- They tend to glow in many colors, from blue, green, yellow, and more, They glow due to the types of foods they feed on, ranging from highly toxic plants, bugs and some poisonous prey they hunt turning that poison into their own venom with a special organ in their body.
inspo: From pandora creatures, irl animals(Horses, pigs, ect) and dinosaur teeth
Teeth: Curved, hooked like a beak, sharp tip and thick base, used to crush and break bone rather than cut and tear, with thick necks and jaw muscles it allows them to add more force into each bite it gives.
Mouth: Lacking a tongue, it produces more saliva to make what it eats easier to swallow and slide down the throat to their stomach making it easier to eat, and digest. the top lip is very flexible and able to flip up like a baboons or a horse to reveal the gums and teeth.
Actions: Sunnivore(s) meaning of mouth movements.
Raveling front teeth: A greeting, or a wary gesture when they come in contact with something they have not met or have not seen before. this action is often quiet and seen as a curious take.
Raveling all teeth: Seen as a sign of aggression or anger, the action will often be followed by grunts and loud growls. this can be caused for a plethora of reasons.
Front paws: Five fingers, dull claws, healthy paws are usually quite thick and wide with thicker paw pads. not the sharpest of claws. thinner paws while unnatural and often seen in unkept or younger sunnivores is not always uncommon. Sunnivores don't rely on their paws as much as they do their mouths.
Wash- Wash paw pads regularly with clean water, soap optional. (Avoid doing it daily, every three days is okay.
Claws- Clip nails every few weeks as if un-kept could grow to long and harm the paw/paw pads.
Dry- After wash dry the paws and keep sunnivore inside till the next day to avoid scratching.
(take care of ur sunnivores paws :3)
