Vulpimancer

**Vulpimancers** are a species from the planet Vulpin.

## 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, purple, white, red, or brownish red. Female Vulpimancers have paler fur than males. As they reach adulthood, male Vulpimancers gain stripes on their backs.

Elderly Vulpimancers 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.

## Society and History

Because of their planet's toxic environment, Vulpimancers have slowly lost their eyes due to them not being used for a long time. Due to the effects of the planet's pollution, they mutated to have heightened hearing and other developed senses.

Living in the dark caves beneath the surface, Vulpimancers have no need for eyes and use their amazing sense of smell to "see".

Due to the dog-eat-dog nature of their home planet, Vulpimancers are not very friendly with their own kind, but this is a common trait among animals that aren't family.

Vulpimancers normally live by hunting down whatever they can find to eat and moving on to the next meal.

## Etymology

The name Vulpimancer is a play on the word vulpine, which means fox.

	+ There is a special translator that can translate their language, but it is not as portable.
