Sholk Vore

Ok this isn’t squirrel.

This is Sholke Vore, and I am sick of not being able to post.

That said, here is my species for the MOAG blog. A little something I have been playing with for a long time, but could never get anyone to draw it.
The fish did the original and I liked some of the result. Ok so I am not to sure on the species name, but I do have some fun stuff for you.

This species is very bug like six limbs and as you can see some funky eyes.
They have segmented eyes like a fly, I haven’t decided on a eye color yet. I like red but it didn’t look too good trying to paint them red. They use mimicry for communication as well as a color changing skin. Hopefully you can see its beak that is a lot like a parrot. Their skin is like a cuddle fish, in that it expands and contracts pigments on the surface, giving them the ability to change color quickly. They use the tentacles on their face for a lot of the more delicate work. Though each of their six legs each are capable of manipulating objects. They are very small in comparison to other moag species, around three feet tall. Though smart, perhaps not as smart as the Motie, but smarter than most. Most species think they are not intelligent because of their social behavior. They survive in packs and attach themselves, on a social level, to other stronger species for protection.

So in a review I would classify this species as a very social species, not very strong but very dexterous and perceptive. Oh I almost forgot that they have an exoskeleton, so perhaps a little strong for their size, and extra endurance. I like the idea of them being a silicon based life form, but I leave that up to the shadowwire.

also, this pic would look more like a female than a male.. a male would have more pronounced ridges.. like a triceratops or such...

also, I was thinking of giving the females wings.. but I don't know how well it would work....

Hope you like it.
