Adults
Hatchlings
Anatomy:
Whers are much smaller than their dragon cousins. Being less gracefully designed as well, they have rougher and lumpier hides. Their eyes are also very sensitive to light, which gives them excellent night-vision, but renders them useless during the day. An adult gold wher, is approximately the size of a newly hatched gold dragon.
Lifestyle:
Impression :
Whers bond through a strange mix of mental and physical feelings, most often with their mother matching them to a chosen handler based on their personality and thoughts before hatching. Upon breaking the shell, the wher will either demand blood, or cut their handler themselves, and will then name themselves.
Names :
All wher's names end in -sk, with their names being seemingly randomly chosen by the wher upon hatching and bonding. An example of this is with my own handler Mavrin. Upon impression, his wher said that his name was Mavrisk.
Intelligence :
Whers are not the most intelligent species, though neither are they the slowest. They speak in simple sentences, rarely above that of a young child, and some prefer to 'speak' only through thought-images rather than words.
**Whers ALWAYS speak in third person, referring to themselves by their own name.
Mating/Clutching:
Whers mate similarly to dragons. Instead of flying however, a female will start a run. It is during this run, which is usually at night, that the males will try to impress or catch a female. Once a female chooses or is caught by her partner, the male generally will defend her from the other males by "fighting" them off. Basically, this is done by both female and her winner scaring the other chasers away. Both greens and golds clutch for whers. However, greens only clutch about 1-4 eggs. While golds can clutch anywhere from 6-16 eggs. Not all hold hatchlings though, due to infertility rating being higher in whers, many eggs end up duds.
Eye colors:
blue/green = contentment or happiness
yellow = fear or alert
orange/red = anger
red = hunger
white = danger
gray = pain
purple = love/mating lust
