Vulpimancer (Classic)

Vulpimancers,Phil BillingsMax TennysonTruth also known as Megamutts, are an animalistic species from the planet Vulpin.
Their evolved counterparts are Evolved Vulpimancers.
==Appearance==
Vulpimancers are animalistic beings with canine paws, curving claws, and quills that grow on their backs. Their most notable feature is that they have no visible eyes, and instead have gill-like nostrils on the sides of their necks. A Vulpimancer's size ranges from an adult human to several times larger. As they mature, they grow tails.
Vulpimancers commonly have orange fur, though they can come in other colors such as greyish blue, red or brownish red. As they reach adulthood, Vulpimancers gain stripes on their backs.
Some Vulpimancers from Vulpin have dog-like mouths with matching teeth and tongues, whereas others have more unearthly mouths with worm-like tongue, chapped lips, and four large fangs.
Young Vulpimancers have quill-like fur, which becomes straighter when they mature. This excludes the chin hair on Vulpimancers from Vulpin.

==Language==
Vulpimancers do have a language, but it is too difficult for Universal Translators to translate and they are unable to speak English. In fact, they lack the vocal anatomy to speak. There is a special translator that can translate their language, but it is not as portable.
==Behavior==
From what has been shown, Vulpimancers are very irritable and not very cooperative, even amongst themselves. Despite this, Vulpimancers seem to prefer hunting in groups.SinglehandedOf Predators and Prey: Part 2

==Weaknesses ==

Side (462).png|Lost Sense of Smell (via Cold Virus)
The higher hearing range of a Vulpimancer can be taken advantage of, as high frequency noises like a Sonic Pitch Whistle or a Zaroffian's whistle can overwhelm their senses and stun them. Vulpimancers are also sensitive to strong smells.
Vulpimancers are implied to be vulnerable to fire, as shown with some other members of the species when they were repelled by Swampfire's flames.
When infected with a cold, a Vulpimancer's nostrils (on the sides of their necks) get blocked by mucus, making them unable to smell, rendering them essentially "blind".Side Effects

== Trivia== 
*Thomas Perkins believes that the Vulpimancers who appeared in Truth are an older/mature version of the Vulpin Vulpimancers. He does not know if gender differences were mentioned during the Original Series' run.
*Because of how they do not see in the conventional sense, it's possible that Vulpimancers cannot be scared by Toepick's species.
