Zoroark (SciiFii)

The zoroark (Deinobipedocanis pokevus) is a species of ape-like humanoid canine, most closely related to the dogman (Bipedocanis deinodonta), that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii due to demand for real life versions of Pokémon. However, zoroarks have established breeding feral populations across mainland Eurasia and North America, most likely due to deliberate or accidental pet releases. The zoroarks are large bipedal canines with predominantly dark gray hair, the limbs have slightly darker stripes and the legs are hairless revealing the reddish-brown skin, they also have five fingers with black claws, the elbows of the Zoroarks often have shaggy hair, also have an elongated muzzle a black nose, blue eyes and pointed ears, the hair around the mouth and eyes has a slight shade of red, they also have a red hair with straight hair that descends all over their back. Zoroarks stand about 1.6 meters (5.2 feet) tall on average and weigh around 811 kilograms (1,787 lbs). Baby zoroarks are known as cubs, pups, or zoruas, which are small and more dog-like than the adults, being almost entirely quadrupedal, they become more and more bipedal as they grow up until they're fully bipedal adults. Zoroarks are carnivores and primarily feed on similarly-sized animals as well as smaller animals, including small birds. The hair of the zoroark secretes a hallucinogenic fat that is absorbed by the skin of the enemies in contact, this toxin serves so that the enemies believe that the zoroark are bigger and more dangerous animals. Moreover it is so powerful that even the attacks that use these "illusory animals" seem real, often it also modifies the surrounding landscape so that the Zoroark remain in their territories undisturbed. With humans it can sometimes give the illusion that zoroarks are humans and some admit to having even heard them speak while they were under the effect of the toxin. Zoroarks can also attack its prey by charging them, with the impact the toxin causing the prey physical damage, often this fat creates lumps and pearls known as "Zoroark Pearls" are formed that are sold at a high price on the market. Only zoroarks are immune to this hallucinogen. Zoroarks are social animals that move in packs and are very altruistic towards those who help them and even risk their lives to protect them, but if someone tries to threaten them they will be very aggressive. They use their hallucinogenic toxin in order to be able to defend themselves from predators and hide their territory, they also hide their pups in their thick manes. There is a legend that says that anyone who dares to catch a zoroark risks being trapped in an eternal illusion, but it is only a baseless urban legend. Some people have killed zoroarks due to this superstition, however, it is illegal to kill zoroarks nowadays and the zoroark is a protected species. The conservation status of the zoroark is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the zoroark's wide range.
