1. Type of special creature: Lava-Ooze-Covered Saber
2. Describe the physical appearance. (You may include a reference image... infact it is recommended) Igneous is the size of a Smilodon Populator, and is nearly the same as one, except her fur is covered in a warm ooze that is very similar to lava. It is reddish-orange, and because it is like lava it gives off a slight 'glow'. The ooze as the same consistency of gel-like substances. That is, it's pretty thick, and doesn't drip very often, but it does occasionally. The substance is significantly thinner on her face, and even more so around her orange eyes so it doesn't change her vision. This ooze is able to protect her from the intense heat of the lava.
3. History. Her fur was/is much thicker than normal. She lived in the scarred lands, and her coat was always exposed to the heat of the lava and the black dirt characteristic of the land. Her fur became disgusting and dirty, and formed a sort of barrier on her skin. Naturally Igneous was curious to see the extent of how much her fur could take, so she exposed it to cooling lava, and gradually moved up to the hotter pools. Because she kept moving, the lava cooled, but not all the way. it did not form plates or rock, but stayed as a thick, yet easily penetrable ooze.
4. Describe the strengths and weaknesses.
Strengths:
-She is able to be exposed to lava.
-The ooze deters most from attacking her.
Weaknesses:
-Her face is more sensitive to the lava, and her eyes are just as sensitive as normal eyes would be. There fore she cannot be completely immersed in the lava, and she would become blind if her head was forced under.
-The ooze is very easily penetrable. Although it does protect her from heat, claws and teeth can easily slice through it and pierce her skin. Once the lava touches her exposed wound, it irritates it.
-The ooze has softened her skin just like normal skin is softened when exposed to water for long periods of time, so it is very easy to eound her.
-The glow of her ooze alerts prey, so she must act quickly orit will flee.
-She is uncomfortable around others. Not many want to approach this creature, and it takes its toll on her self esteem.
-Her ooze, as expected, tastes terrible, so if too much debris gets caught on it, as it often does, she has to make frequent trips to a pool of lava to get it off.
-Cold to her is like lava to others. It chills her to the core, as she is used to intense heat.
5. Measurements. Please post measurements for your character's Height (to shoulder): 4' 5"
Weight: 930
Canine Length: 6"
Incisor Length: 2"
Claw Length: 3"
6. RP Post. Igneous plodded through the blackened plants, their sickly stalks scraping against her. She was truly a monstrous beast, her disgusting head lowered as she marched through the barren lands. If she was ordinary she would look terrible. She had to live off poisoned creatures, and if it was showing, her fur would be ragged and disgusting. She would be a frightening creature either way. The 'cat' made her way to the pool of lava, completely alone. Who would visit this monster? Company was rare in these lands, and going into the cold was unthinkable. Perhaps she would gain some friends in the future, but for now she rested in the molten rock, enjoying the heat that others disliked.
