Xanktheel

Xanktheels are a sentient species that looks half Avi, half Drakonian but is not a mixed breed but its own.
They live in jungles and in forests where it‘s very warm, where they have their settlements built with the trees, leaves and bushes they can find. They tend to eat fruits the most but they can eat just about anything edible. They‘re friendly to everyone that doesn‘t seem to be a threat to them.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Xanktheels have a humanoid body, with feathers on their heads, their face, arms, back and legs, except on their snout, forearms, hands, pecs, abdomen and feet, which have golden looking scales instead. They have head and tailfeathers that usually have a different color than the rest.

Genetics and Reproduction

The Xanktheels are a one gender race with two production organs so no matter which partner they’d have, they can always plan on having hatchlings. Xanktheels lay eggs after their pregnancy phase.

Growth Rate & Stages

They grow slowly, they don‘t even get to grow as tall as humans, but they do get taller than frogs and dwarves.

Ecology and Habitats

They live in jungles and warm forests for the most part. There are most fruits that other species can‘t eat but when they eat it, they can grow and expand to an enormous size, making them immune to predator attacks temporarily.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Xanktheels live from the food they can get in the jungle/forest, especially fruits no one else can eat except for them.
