The feyhund are a race of humanoid canines of faerie origin that often embody qualities found in other faerie species and elves. They are known for their brightly splattered coats, blue blood, and elemental abilities.
Feyhund are distinguished by their court which can be identified by the color of their markings.
- Celestial have a white or cream markings.
- Terran has a brown or tan markings.
- Cthonic has black or gray markings.
- Additionally there is the Atlantean Court which requires gills, fins, and webbing.
Minimum of 2, maximum of 4 colors for their speckled markings.
Their blood is copper based, and is blue in color.
Typically they have short, wolf-like ears.
Eye-shape and color has a wild variance (including sclera color), but colored pupils generally signify great strength
The species has rapid metabolisms and initially age more rapidly than a human, being considered adults at 16 human years and reaching their prime 22 human years. Though not immortal they live for extended periods of time, with one being considered an elder at approximately 200 years. The average lifespan is roughly 250 years.
Females have breasts and a vagina, while males lack breasts and have a penis. The penis is sheathed unless erect, at which point the fleshy appendage emerges from the sheath. Due to the increased rate at which they mature puberty generally begins between 7 and 9 years old.
Gestation lasts approximately 32 weeks, and newborn feyhund are perfectly capable of holding their own heads up and even crawling several hours after birth.
Sometimes mutations happen. There are 4 types of possible types of mutations:
- Cluster: saber fangs/tusks, body spikes, multiple eyes or ears, forked tongues, serrated teeth, leathery wings, leonine tails (The Celestial Court does not tolerate these mutations and will discard children born with them or ostracize the family if they do not.)
- Unique: feathered wings, alicorns or other horns/antlers, floppy or oversized ears, silky (horse) tail, crystal overgrowth, slit pupils
- Revered: butterfly wings, iridescent or bioluminescent markings, fangs, multiple tails, colored nose, colored pupils, no pupils,
- Atlantean: gills, fins, webbing, and scales
