I forgot to post this boy on here yesterday
Order: Draco
Family: Wyvernidae
Genus: Holoserica
Species: Incaendium
Common Name: “Velvet Wildfire” or “Ember Crested Velvet Wyvern”
Hermaphroditic species, named for the vibrant color of their crests and underwing as well as their velvety, short fur. Dominance and color intensity are dictated by the levels of testosterone in an individual. Testosterone levels can be dictated by prey availability, nest temperature pre-hatching, and size of the clutch hatched from. They are omnivorous, with an ideal diet consisting of 80% meat and 20% vegetation. Colors can very wildly, with this specimen displaying a dilute and merle patterning. Wing pattern can vary from individual to individual. They are an excellent mount species and are well known to bond very closely to their riders.
