Vulpimancers

The **Vulpimancers** (ヴァルピマンサー, *Varubimansā*) are a species from the planet Vulpin.

## Appearance

Vulpimancers are far more animalistic than humanoid. They can range from the size of an adult human to several times the size of a human. As they mature, they grow tails.

They have canine paws with 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.

Vulpimancers from Vulpin are orange while Vulpimancers from the Null Void can be orange, grayish blue, red or brownish red.

Mature male Vulpimancers have stripes on their backs. Females do not, and they have paler fur than males.

### DNAlien Vulpimancers

Vulpimancer that are in paired with the DNAliens have dark orange bodies with black feet, black backs and visible brains.

## Language

According to Dwayne McDuffie, Vulpimancers do have a language, but it is too difficult for Universal Translators to translate and they are unable to speak English.

## Behavior

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.

Vulpimancers whine like dogs when scared, as heard in *Last Laugh*.

## Powers and Abilities

Vulpimancers have an incredibly strong sense of smell, which they use to work our their surroundings due to their lack of eyes.

Vulpimancers have enhanced strength, as Wildmutt could rip off the roof of a car with ease.

Vulpimancers have enhanced agility that allows them to run, jump, as well as climb at a superhuman rate.

Vulpimancers can dig at a fast speed.

Although Vulpimancers are quadrupeds, they are capable of standing on their hind legs and punching with their front legs, though somewhat awkwardly.

## Weaknesses

Vulpimancers can't speak Earth languages.

When infected with an Earth cold virus, a Vulpimancer's nostrils get blocked by mucus, making them unable to smell and thus, blind. Also, their fur color seems to become paler and their lips and claws turn a sickly dark green color.

Vulpimancer senses are very sensitive, making them vulnerable to anything that can overwhelm their senses, such as a high pitched sound or a strong smell.

## Evolved Vulpimancers

### Appearance

Evolved Vulpimancers are significantly larger and more muscular than Vulpimancers. Their fur is a maroon-red color. They have four huge grey/white spikes running down their backs that overlap. These spikes start out as a shark-like fin at the head, and rising almost into an arc over the back, tapering near the rump.

Evolved Vulpimancers also have a long tail whose tip has a horn, resembling a scorpion stinger.

### Powers and Abilities

Like Vulpimancers, evolved Vulpimancers have an incredible sense of smell.

Evolved Vulpimancers are much stronger and more agile than Vulpimancers.

Evolved Vulpimancers have sharp tails, claws, and teeth.

Unlike Vulpimancers, evolved Vulpimancers are capable of speaking English.

### Notable Evolved Vulpimancers

* Ultimate Wildmutt (the Ultimatrix's evolved Vulpimancer)

## Etymology

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