Parahexilian

== Description ==
=== Behavior ===
* are large, territorial, genderless fliers that prioritize the survival of their species, considering scars as marks of pride to show off how many battles they managed to survive.
** They are known to have a long lifespan and do not potentially target other creatures in particular, with the exception of , which for some unknown reason they will sometimes chase to the end of the world until their hunt is complete.
** Though tend to be more volatile and hostile in nature, with smaller and less sentient life there are lapses in their temperament in where some will actually guard certain areas of nature or smaller creatures, including Sturbi.
=== Artist Headcanon (non-lore) ===
* , and were created by the same cosmic entity from astronomical objects.
** is the eldest of all three species, and deemed imperfect by its creator. The reason for this being that they aren't truly immortal, and cannot sustain themselves on their own.
** are theoretically immortal, only dying when they are killed, or when their magic is depleted. do not age whatsoever, being a cosmic entity made of a sort of plasma. Their outside appearance is entirely crafted by hand, being made of fire-resistant leathers and alloys. 
* If a overuses their magic or is exposed to extreme heat (volcanic or otherwise), their armor/artificial husk may melt or become damaged.
* can eat sources of magic to sustain themselves, specifically Aereis' energy core, which is part of the reason for their rivalry. Though in game they eat meat, they don't require actual matter sustenence to live, and instead are fueled by consuming the magic of their sibling creature, Aereis.
** Much like a fire, their lives are stoked by the magic of Aereis, and they're relatively codependent on them for survival.
== Appearance ==
The is a large creature that resembles a European dragon decorated with pinecone and wood-like armor-plate structures. It has two massive wings with orange bat-like fingers, the wings having a strange leathery appearance, plus another boney structure jointing from the elbow. Several spikes slightly reminiscent of those from 17th century boats and some fences cover part of its legs and the base of its wings. The tip of its tail seems more vertebrae-like, with a spine-like blade at the very end. It uses its back legs to walk, but it only uses its front legs when running or ambushing.
=== Males ===
Males have no additional features.
=== Females ===
Females have a pair of fin-like structures attached to the sides of their lower jaw, almost protruding from the lower gums.
