Darcious

**Darcious Maluki is an OC created by JellyFaun!**

Darcious is one of Jelly's oldest OCs. Made in 2004 or 2005, he is a fan monster originally from Silent hill. He is aggressive, mean-spirited, sarcastic, savage and easily annoyed. Standing over nine feet tall, he is fast, lithe, able to hover and fly and he can secrete slime from his paws to climb and stick to surfaces. He could be described as a nightmare beast, sticking to the shadows and rarely speaking to humans. He kills or abducts and torments trespassers on sight. Sometimes he lets them run a little bit and think they've escaped just to descend on them. He is as intelligent as a person and though his body is feral, he is more of an anthro than an actual animal. Around other monsters, though, he is pretty easily intimidated and relaxes the vicious personality as his bones are brittle. He will not pick a fight he can't win; on rare occasions, this caution extends to well-armed humans. His weak point is his belly, just between his middle and back legs, as it is mostly organs.

**Looks**

Back in the early years, Darcious was known as a Wechion fly, a very odd portmanteau of **We**asel, **Chi**cken, Dem**on** and Dragon**fly**. Though his design has changed slightly, it is still a somewhat accurate description. He is 14 feet from the tip of his horns to the tip of his tail, and 9.5 from forehead to toes.

He is long and lithe, like a weasel, covered from head to toe in brown-grey shaggy fur.

He has the face of a monstrous wolf - long muzzle with sharp teeth inside of his mouth. It curls and snarls and has gums like a wolf. His ears are long and ribbon-like, going from a thin base to pointed tips. On his head are horns- long and smooth, curved like an impala's but shorter in length. His eyes are golden.

His tail is long and whip-like.

A crimson spiky mane, almost a mohawk, goes down his neck, starting between his horns and down his back to the base of his wings.

Darcious has six legs. His front and middle legs, which also act like arms, are dog-like in appearance- furry and ending in paws. His paws have four digits - one of them is an opposable thumb. His front legs start at the shoulders, where most quadruped legs are located. His middle legs are just under his wings, where his tummy is located, almost halfway down the body. His back legs are the legs of a chicken, with three toes in front, one in back. He does not have rooster spurs. These legs can all secrete green goo through their pads.

Darcious has four huge dragonfly wings. He can buzz them to fly and make ominous noises in the dark or kick up dust.

He can stand upright but he cannot walk upright, dropping to all six legs or flying when it's time to move.

**History**

-**The beginning**

Darcious was a product of a party game that Jelly played with a friend in highschool. Each of them had to invent a creature based on the same prompts and each of them got a turn picking a detail. (For example: bug wings. six legs. a long tail.) His original appearance was rough, and one of Jelly's friends, Aurrie, whom they still hang out with today, refined it, making this the first official artwork.

He underwent a few changes, such as his face and spiked tail, but mostly stayed the same.

He was an online roleplay character in Gaia online. He was certainly the product of a depressed tweenager who hated highschool, but has since become a fun monster OC for drawing purposes.

The boyfriend thing- Darcious was a counterpart for Aurrie's OC, a sewn-together monster known as Aanndrae or Aan for short. Aan was obsessed with Darcious, who eventually gave into his stalker's affections. They roamed the town of Silent Hill, while Aan's jealous ex, Pyramid Head, tried to kill Darcious. It was as cringey as it sounds. But, genuine bonds and a long-lasting friendship emerged from it. Plus, young Jelly was so grateful to have a real friend to play with.

**-Lore**

Darcious can be tamed with a laser pointer which turns him into a pet.

He was cute as a puppy.

He is also almost always grumpy or attacking people.

**Abilities**

Sticky Feet- Darcious is often depicted walking on walls or hanging from the ceiling.

Sticky Vomit- Darcious can expel huge quantities of this sticky goo from his mouth, which coats his prey.

Flying Free - Darcious's somewhat hollow bones and long, lithe body allow for him to fly. However, it takes the strength of all four wings constantly flapping to lift him. It is exceptionally hard for him to take off without all six legs pushing off/a running start, so he rarely becomes airborne if he is hanging on the walls or ceiling. If a wing were to become damaged, he could not fly with it and would have to wait for it to shed and mend itself.

Horns - The tips of Darcious's horns are sharp and given the angles he can produce with his long neck, he can adeptly use them in combat, similar to a sword. However, he does not have a protective skull cap and must be careful to hit only with his horn tips. Because of this, he does not use them for ramming or headbutting. The horns will eventually regrow if they are broken off.

Unhinged Jaws- Darcious, like a snake, can unhinge his jaw to either expel more vomit, snap his jaws like a trap, or swallow prey whole, sometimes while it's still alive.

Lithe Body- Darcious is able to compact his body, similar to how a cat does. If his head can fit through an opening, the rest of his body can too. This is accomplished by streamlining his form, flattening his horns to his nape, folding his wings, tucking his legs into his belly and using his paws to scamper along. This makes escaping Darcious very difficult.

-Drawing him with Aan is fine.

-Gore is great!
