Closed species at the moment
Sylvadrakes are mystical and formidable creatures dwelling in the secluded depths of ancient forests.

Their very essence is intertwined with the enchanting forces of nature and the mystique of fire.
Physical Traits:
Sylvadrakes boast a strong, sinewy build, with fur that mimics the forest's canopy - patterns that resemble leaves and intertwining branches. Their magnificent, voluminous mane and tail, adorned with lush foliage-like fur, exude the essence of the forest, offering both natural armor and striking beauty. Prominently, each Sylvadrake is crowned with a pair of splendid horns, symbolizing their dual affinity for the forest's serenity and the fire's fury. The fur along their spine, neck, and tail is particularly dense and vibrant, creating a visual spectacle that blends seamlessly with the wilderness.
Eyes:
The eyes of Sylvadrakes are a striking feature, often possessing black sclera that adds to their mysterious and intense appearance. In rare cases, the sclera can be a vibrant yellow. Regardless of the color, their eyes always glow in the dark, adding a mystical and awe-inspiring element to their presence. This luminescence extends to the markings on their bodies, creating an otherworldly effect, especially at night.
Ears:
The ears of Sylvadrakes are a distinctive trait, positioned slightly above the nose level and unable to bend. They come in various forms:
• Standard Ears: Moderately long, wolf-like ears that are straight and rigid.
• Rare Ears: Long, resembling those of a fennec fox, enhancing their auditory capabilities.
• Exclusive Ears: Short and thick, providing better protection and suited for Sylvadrakes living in noisy environments.

• Structure: The paws are strong and muscular, designed for both hunting and climbing.
• Claws: Sharp and durable, they come in various lengths and shapes, adding a unique character to each Sylvadrake.
Fire Magic:
The Sylvadrakes' mastery over fire magic is unparalleled. They can summon flames in various hues, each color embodying different facets of their power and emotional state. The flames, whether a calm blue, a fierce red, or a gentle green, not only reflect their inner feelings but also the nature of the magic they wield. The tip of their tail emits a soft, radiant glow, symbolizing their deep connection to the mystical fire energies.
Horns and Fur Aura:
The horns of a Sylvadrake are not just physical appendages but conduits for their magical prowess. They glow with a soft, fiery light, especially when the Sylvadrake is channeling their fire magic. This glow is echoed in the fur along their back and tail, which seems to dance with a life of its own, shimmering with an ethereal light that intensifies with the Sylvadrake's emotional and magical state.
