Zhuques

== Anatomy and Physiology ==
The typical zhuque is a six-limbed, avian bipedal Feralian of large size.
Like other Ignids, zhuques have a long forked tail, a long neck, large wings, and a crest of feathers on their heads. Zhuques can be distinguished from their cousins the phoenixes by their six-limbed build and the smaller, rounded shape of their wings.
The standard color of zhuques is a dark red, commonly with bright orange, or yellow markings on the face, head crest, chest, wings, and tail. 
There are several other unusual color patterns seen in zhuques, including: 
*Leucism: Where all of the zhuques fathers appear to be a light cream.
*Melanism: Where all of the zhuques feathers appear to be a dark grey or brown instead of red.
*Mottling: Where the zhuque displays dark brown or grey mottling around the edges of their feathers. This typically develops as a Zhuque ages and seeing a young zhuque with those markings is incredibly unusual.
In all cases, these traits are rare and tend to run in families.
