Torunoos
Appearance
Torunoos have a dragon-like body with basic canine anatomy. They have furry chests and grow more hair when it's winter. Only desert types don't have any chest fur.
One of their most important traits are the sacs on their cheeks. It works somewhat like a frog's, Torunoos breathe in really deep and release the air at once to make a sound. That is basically their language when communicating to eachother. It sounds like squeaks.
The same sac is also used to scare off other predatory creatures. A gland inside it produces toxic gas, and when the name here blows it activates and spills out. It 'eats' away the target's body over time and damages their lungs permanently. It also stings for around an hour.
The feelers are commonly used like a cat's. They 'feel' where they go at night. name heres are not nocturnal though. In rare cases, a Torunoo has luminescent feelers.
Their claws are retractable and will only be used when needed.
Pink box: Fullbody view
- A typical example of a male Torunoo. It has bright colours and many markings. The sac is brighter that the other colours, which is a must. This is my own character named Torei huehu
- Basic canine anatomy.
Red box: Process of squeaking and blowing out gas
- Blowing out gas: they could blow out any poisonous gas really. Idk what mine is breathing out there. xD
Yellow box: Male and female differences
- Males are bigger, have longer feelers and more fluff. They have shorter tails than females though.
Light orange box: Muzzle types
- Type 1: the common type. It's short and round.
- Type 2: A bit uncommon, a longer muzzle.
- Type 3: The rarest type. A grumpy face with here and there some teeth sticking out. (mostly seen by dominant males)
Green box: Eye types
- Common eye: Slitted pupil. Eyes can be any colour. Heterochromia does NOT occur. No rainbows.
- Rare x-ray vision: X-pupil. Sclerae are dark grey. Iris can be any colour. They can see twice as good as normal with these eyes, even able to see through certain things. (only thin things like through plants)
- Blindness: NO pupil even though i drew a darker spot to show it xD
This is very rare. They are almost never blind and if they are it's probably because some predator clawed their eyes or something.
Turqoise box: food preferences
- Omnivores, but prefer meat.

Social interaction:
Torunoos live in groups together. Some of these groups, also called tribes, specialize in for example medicinal treatment. They war a lot between tribes but also are eachothers best friends when it comes to defending from other predators.
Since they aren't very strong themselves, especially not against carnivores with big teeth and agility, they sometimes call for help from other species. They are very proud though, so you won't see them doing that often.

How to attract females:
The brighter the cheek sac and the more sound comes from it, the better females will like you.
They also look at the dominancy of the male.
The male is supposed to be the dominant one.
