Flying Foxes

Basic Info:

Intelligence Level: High - about the level of dolphins.
SUPER APEX PREDATOR
Domesticatable: Yes
Domestication Method\*: These animals sing a tune similar to whale song. This tune is used for their young, who lack the ability to flash the specialized glowing sacs that these foxes share with wolves. As a result, these animals are highly susceptible to tunes that mimic their own unique songs. If you can recreate it, they will come close and not attack. Do this enough, and offer flesh that correlates with the coloration on the fox’s ‘fur quills’, and you may eventually be seen as a boon to have around. It takes quite some time to tame one, but once it is tamed it will reciprocate any good deed you do ten fold.

Other Info:

Hunting Strategy: The Fox will use its lights to attract animals, it will also wait for its prey to pass by while it sits on the cliffs. They will then launch quills from the end of their tails that will either release luvbug neurotoxins, T-Toad poison, or fire.
Defensive Strategy: They occasionally use their quills for defense but mostly fly away. Usually the do not have to resort to this.
Interesting Biology: Their tail allows them to pick up items or harm prey. They use it in a similar way humans use their hands. They also have wings that allow them to fly onto the cliffs. The animals that live near flame snails and eat them in a daily basis are a reddish-orange, the kids are white, ones who live by the water and mostly eat T-Toads are blue, and the ones that eat luvbugs who are also near the water are blue. This happens because the Foxes can digest the meat but not the poisons, the poisons then go into the animals fur and quills changing their color.
Interesting Behavior(s): The animals are very playful towards their partners. They are also extremely curious and do not fear unknown species.

Skill Summary:

* Flight- their wings allow them to fly short distances, when going back to the cliffs they are assisted by the updrafts

Additional Information:

* When giving birth a female can have up to ten pups. The children are rather large and grow quickly.
* The digestive system of this animal is very effective.
* They try not to use the quills on unknown species since they fear it may cause a negative reaction that may backfire on them.
* They love to cuddle with smaller objects since they always long to care for something. Their body gives off heat making them great cuddle buddies and they love to wrap their tail around things.
* The animals are close cousins to the Alien Wolf meaning they also do not have eyes.
* To substitute they have photoreceptors at the base of each fur strand. This will cause them to glow meaning the wolves see them as allies and will not attack. Although they will still attack nearby humans.
* On certain occasions a raised Fox will turn on its owner and assist a wolf in attacking the owner.
