Introduction to Bladedancers

Bladedancers are a sapient species often inhabiting forests, but sometimes also found building villiages in jungles and mountains, though those are different variants.

They are carnivorous and extrmemley skillful fighters, possessing sharp spines all over their body that they use to take down enemies.

Species restrictions

Bladedancers are usually duller, more desaturated colours. Every standard Bladedancer has the extra claw, tail barb, and spikes, as well as the short mane and tail tuft. Some can have more fur or spikes in other places, such as their limbs, back, and down the lengths of their tails.

Usually, they are named after things in nature, such as "Thorn", "Eagle", "Sky", ect.

Biology

The spikes on Bladedancers are filled with venom. There are three variants, each Bladedancer having one of them:

Category 1 (60% of Bladedancers)

Extremley painful nettle-like stinging, numbness.

Category 2: (35% of Bladedancers)

Paralysing toxins. Leave other creatures paralysed for as long as an hour.

Category 3: (5% of Bladedancers)

Causes organ failure and is often fatal. 

 

 

Bladedancers usually live about 65 years and become adults at 8 years. 

They are carnivores, feeding on prey large and small found in their respective biomes.

 

Subspecies

Standard

Standard Bladedancers look like the typical Bladedancer image, and inhabit forests.

Jungle

Jungle Bladedancers are smaller, leaner, and less fluffy, with stronger venom and the ability to climb trees.

Mountain

The opposite of Jungle Bladedancers, these are bigger, bulkier, and far fluffier. They can hibernate when it's too cold or when there isn't enough resources.

 

Society

WIP, all I've decided is that they often get hired as assassins due to their speed and venom.

Name: Snakeroot

Gender: female (she/her)

Age: 6

Subspecies: Jungle

Appearence:

Venom type: catagory 3

Personality: She acts really innocent (and looks really innocent) but she's actually not and never misses a good, secretive chance to kill someone. Everyone thinks she has catagory 1 venom. She's really swift and sneaky and comes up with reasonable explinations without lying but not exposing herself. She's a quick thinker with many ideas. Goodluck if she's on your tail

Changes being made:

-Removing that whole venom categories thing I don’t like it sorry

-I’m putting waaaaay more effort and detail into this than I did in 2023 (Just wrote an entire history thing for them with a society-resetting war :D)
