Species: Noctero
(Pictures attached)
Info
Physical characteristics
The Noctero are a cliff-residing mammalian species with extrordinary sonar capabilities. Thier physiology is similar to our bats, save for their bipedal stance, large size and ability to think and reason.
Their arms have a thin yet strong membrane that makes for a good pair of wings. They have seven fingers on their hands (each of which have four metacarpals instead of three), two of which (the index and thumb) are smaller, membrane-less, and can be used freely. Their wings end at back of the hips, just above the rise of the pelvis. They have a small tail that ends in a fin for steering. Their ears also aid in steering.
Their ears are very large, so they can detect their own echolocation. Their noses are seperated in an "upside-down comma" shape. Their eyes are yellow-green, with red spots on the pupils, and double irises that adjust sepeartely as to magnify things in their view. Their eyes glow bright green at night to be able to see clearly.
Lifestyles and Rituals
The Noctero are solely carnivorous and extremely savage hunters. They're a neutral yet agressive race, only attacking another party if they must, or are forced to. They rarely attack another of their own kind, but again, they will only if they see fit.
Noctero Ancestors practiced "Fen Gana", a ritual very similar to vampirism, but a lot messier (it includes not only the consumption of blood, but also tearing apart the victim). In the last 100 years or so, this tradition has been changed to drinking a red fruit juice, because a lot of Noctero found it to be barberic and even horrifying.
Diseased meat is not a problem for the Noctero, their immune system is very advanced and can destroy almost any disease/pathogen in food or liquid. This also makes them very difficult to poison or sedate.
What they're up to now-a-days
The Noctero have recently been enslaved by a "family" of Glukkons ("Family," meaning mafia family) on another part of Mudos, as a replacement for the apparently dangerous Mudokons and to discourage the wrath of the notorious Abe. They didn't count on someone like Actra to act as Abe would.
Life Span: 80-120 years.
Home: They live in cliffside towns, their homes actually dug into the rock. These towns can go in as far as 80 feet.
Type: Native.
This is the species that Actra belongs to, by the way.
I will add more images later.
