Runegape

**Debut** | TBA

**Runegape** is the Simplicitrix/Stabilized Simplicitrix's DNA sample of a Digitostuosad Ossisoperandum *(also known as a Pallorfang)* from Ledgerdomain.

## Appearance

Runegape is an animalistic humanoid alien with reptilian features that makes him vaguely resemble a dinosaur, featuring a disproportionally large head with small eyes, an enormous mouth of large dark gray teeth, and jagged bone extensions emerging from the top of his head, down his backside, and from his jaw. Runegape has a squat body structure with short, muscular arms and legs, featuring three black claws on each hand and two black claws on each foot, and a stout tail. The edges of his his lips, teeth, and back spikes glow with bright pink mana. He wears a black outfit with red accents around his neck, shoulders, joints, and around the base and end of his tail.

Runegape wears the Simplicitrix on his stomach.

## Powers

* Runegape has bone magic, in which he can use in order to sprout jagged organic spires out of his environments in order to impale or imprison his opponents within improvised cages, reshape his own bones in order to create razor-sharp spikes and destructive protrusions as a means of defense, and passively augment the bone-based abilities of other species, such as Vertebrain's bone armor assimilation, Beartrap's osteokinetic constructs and trap creation, Bow-n-Marrow's bone archery, Skellerina's ossification, Glarealysis' techno-organic bone projectiles, and so on.
* Runegape can inhale and swallow mana attacks and reservoirs in order to individually transform his mana-charged teeth and spikes into specialized magic charms that can be used to access simple magic spells, typically dependent on the form and amount of mana that he inhales. Even should his teeth be knocked out or his spikes be broken off, as long as they retain the mana flowing through them, they can still be used as charms.
* Runegape can project powerful optic beams of pure concentrated mana from out of his eyes.
* Runegape can instantly shatter through mana constructs, such as barriers, using his strong teeth.
* Runegape has enhanced strength, durability, endurance, agility, and biting.
* Runegape has sharp teeth, claws, and back spikes.

## Weaknesses

* Runegape's bone magic has no effect on those immune towards magic.
* Runegape's mana inhalation and absorption can be negated through restraining his jaws shut and preventing him from opening his mouth.
* Runegape's magic charms are usually limited towards simplistic kinds of magical spells, such as limited teleportation and fire breathing, with anything more demanding, such as dimensional travel, requiring more mana for him to have to absorb between uses, as doing so would mostly expend his own reservoirs and require him to stockpile more.
	+ Although Runegape can regenerate his teeth and back spikes through his bone magic, he loses access to whatever magic charms that they were connected to, requiring them to either relocate his missing bone growths in order to reattach them or create new ones.

## Etymology

* Runegape is a play on "RuneScape," as in the 2001 MMORPG game, and "gape," as in gaping mouth.
* Runegape's species name is the Latin translation of "work your fingers down to the bone."

## Trivia

* Runegape was drawn and suggested by Shark, with his design being made using the Pallorfang from *Alien Force*.
* Runegape is the third transformation to originate from Ledgerdomain, after ManaTee and Young Girl's Heart.
