The Species
The Kryalex started upon the land, so this classification is where the Kryalex first started. However, as the world adapted to the Light, the Darkness adapted with it. They began to adapt with it, and as does the Light shift, the Darkness warps to adapt. With the changing of the Light, the Darkness will form a new appearance to come back to consume again.
The Kryalex are wielders of Black Magics. It is born within them; however, the ability to control is within the grasp of those whom hold it. Some may be controlled by the magic, some may not even realize their own potential.
Kryalex are the overall species name. Their are many different forms of Kryalex which take on many different forms, as the Darkness is in the mind of the beholder.
They represent what takes after the Original, therefor the entire species is named as such. All other forms of Kryalex may fall into three different categories. "Land", "Air, and "Sea". Offspring of the original Kryalex are typically submissive to the Originals, however they do not have to blindly obey.
The species have basic characteristics:
Each Kryalex is black, by nature. Representing the Darkness, with the very essence of the Darkness flowing off of it's Beast's form.
Each Kryalex's Beast will always possess red, glowing eyes which possess a flow to them, just as the Darkness flows from the body.
Each Kryalex may have other colors in which accent it's body. One neon color may possibly be seen, however this is rare. All other colors are muted and not bright at all. They are creatures of the representation of Darkness, and therefor the colors will never overpower it's true Dark basic nature.
When an offspring shifts for the first time, they often possess more color on their bodies than older members of the species. This is typically referred to as "baby fluff". It will often fade, become diluted, loose color completely, and often blend more smoothly into the dark color of it's fur.
This image above shows an example of a Cardeoryx with "baby fluff". -
Cardeoryx
These Kryalex rule the lands. They are the darkness which will comsume those whom take home upon the earth, and therefor they are what the world has come to be seen as the Boogyman.
Their nickname was given to them due to the fact they, literally, go bump in the night. The Darkness continues to empower them, and so long as the Darkness exists, the Kryalex will rule the night.
They are the largest of all Kryalex, and their size is meant to strike terror into the hearts of all whom see them. An humans who manage to meet the eyes of these creatures will certainly meet their death. By it from sheer Fear which may lead them to commit suicide, or death by the Kryalex themselves. -
Vysabryn
These Kryalex take the form of sea creatures, in all gargantuan shapes and sizes and appearances. They rule the sea, and can commonly be mistaken for sirens. The worse mistake any seaman could fall victim to.
The Vysabryn have the ability to infect. Their teeth carry venom which spreads Darkness. Those whom hold the light within them will be able to resist the Darkness; however, those whom hold Darkness within their hearts will succumb to the Darkness. Although the victims will not become a Kryalex, the results may vary dramatically from person to person. Some cases may cause sickness, others may cause delusions and hysteria, while extreme cases may even result in death.
Some Vysabryn choose to live their entire lives within the bodies of water, as their Beasts don't have the capability to walk on the land. Others may choose to adapt to both land and water life, with their Kryalex being able to walk among land as well. -
Hyliofyxa
These Kyralex take the form of aerial masters. They have the capability to fly, whether it be by the aid of wings or not. The Hyliofyxa and the Vysabryn have a monstrous rage towards one another. They will attack one another upon discovery, and one will eliminate the other. With the only acception being Original Kryalex.
Hyliofyxa, like their sea counterparts, are gargantuan in size. They come in many shapes, sizes, and appearances. Hyliofyxa rarely choose to fly, as this makes it hard to conceal themselves. They prefer to use their ability to fly for finesse, while some simply don't care whom may see them.
Hyliofyxa are the most elegant of Kyralex. Their capability to fly allows them to move much more elegantly than any of their brethren.
