🌑 Species Concept: The Veydrak Classification: Alien feral predator 🧬 Physical Build Size & Posture: About the size of a large wolf, but leaner and taller at the shoulder. Quadrupedal, but the front limbs can push upright for intimidation. Fur/Hide: Short, bristling fur that looks like a cross between hair and spines. Shifts color depending on environment—dark matte tones in shadows, faint bioluminescent sheen under moonlight. Skin: Where fur thins (belly, joints), the skin shows strange vascular glowing patterns like circuitry. 🦴 Head & Features Muzzle: Angular, with a jaw that unhinges slightly to reveal multiple rows of serrated teeth. Eyes: Triple-set—two main predator eyes forward, and a smaller reflective “orb” above each for scanning motion in low light. All glow faintly in blues or violets. Ears: Not mammalian; instead, vertical slits along the side of the skull that open and close, giving them sonar-like hearing. 🦷 Predatory Traits Claws: Long, recurved, partially translucent like obsidian—designed to pierce and hook into flesh. Tail: Thick at the base, tapering to a bony blade-like end. Can lash with enough force to cut into hide or bark. Tongue: Forked and prehensile, laced with a paralytic saliva to weaken prey after a bite. 🍖 Diet & Hunting Diet: Strict carnivore. Prefers warm, soft-bodied prey but has crushing back teeth for cracking shells and exoskeletons. Hunting Style: Stalks in silence, then blitzes prey in short bursts of high-speed pursuit.
