Aerometrodon

Aerometrodons are a Species of Stem Mammals that first exists in the mythos of The Autistic hero series. They are a descendant of the Dimetrodon by only a few years of evolving in the years that it returned from extinction. Aerometrodon are named after their new functionality, Flight. The Aerometrodon have not one, not 2, but 4 sails located on their bodies. The Aerometrodon have 2 on their backs protruding as a sail spine which do more than just regulate body heat and the other sails act as gliding membranes between their arms and legs that inflate whenever the animal uses wind magic. The Aerometrodon are actually as intelligent as the Archeraptor and are very social animals, making tag team strategies both on land and in the sky. One group of Aeroetrodon in The Autistic Hero actually was seen trading with a pack of Archeraptors, The Raptors traded a dead Pteranodon and the Aerometrodons traded a Moose they had disemboweled.

## Biology

Aerometrodon are a very colorful animal, they have a light blue color palette with their sails ending in dark blue and then finally purple streaks which are where the bones are. The animal actually has a different body plan than the Dimetrodon because their bodies are shaped identical to a Spinosaurus on all fours which sometimes allows their second set of sails to drag on the ground. Their tails are very long and very hollow but have sensory nerves that are able to help them steer in the air when gliding, this tail also helps with both Courtship Behavior as well as flight which allows them to take down entire flocks of birds and Pterosaurs with absolute ease. Aerometrodon have osteoderms on their backs which helps to protect their skin from pecks from birds they attack. The Animal's head didn't change much but does have teeth jutted deeper into its skull letting it get a much stronger bite before tearing and then chewing the flesh from their prey. During Mating seasons Aerometrodon Females don't look for size or strength but rather Intelligence, The Female will find a rightful place and give the competing males some kind of object which contains food inside, These can range from Jars of food or she may even put food sources in Bottles which she seals shut by holding the bottle with one hand and then using her tongue to unwind the cap and then put it back on. The male that solves the puzzle is deemed the correct mate for the female while the other male is supposed to find someone else. The Defeated male however does learn from this, The puzzle that was given has to be completed by one of the males and since the defeated male saw how that puzzle was solved then he will have a better time next time. Aerometrodon have Aerokinesis which where their name comes from, This wind magic is funneled through their 2 top sails and is either hot air which results in it to fly upwards and higher or colder air which makes it descend, In a way its actually just absorbing the wind's temperature to fly higher or lower. The Offspring are very well taken care of and easy to tame, The Offspring are taught at the age of 1 how to fly which they must develop their new natural magical ability before trying. If some fail then mom catches them as she flies directly below them and dad flies directly above. an adult Aerometrodon reaches their Adult state at 4 years old. Adult specimens have lengths of 8 meters and when standing reach sizes of 3.3 meters tall.

## Abilities

Teeth and Jaws: Aerometrodon Jaws are much wider than their dimetrodon ancestors and this allows for wider surface area when chewing their prey, These jaws are filled with much more packed together teeth that are better rooted in the skull allowing them for a much sturdier bite into the tissue of prey. These teeth also have the potential to heat up or chill using the wind magic they can filter to power up themselves a Fire Bite or a Chill bite depending if they wanna cook prey or refridgirate prey.

Flight: Using Aerokinesis, Aerometrodons are able to allow themselves to fly high and low depending on if hot air and cold air is filtered through their first set of sails while the second set is able to spread out like gliding membranes and the air they take in with Aerokinesis is filtered to those for levitation and gliding.

Aerokinesis: Aerometrodon individuals not only can use this magical spell but also can change the temperature of the air they control.
