The most feared villains in all of Skylands, Kaos and his partner in crime The Lost Queen! Dare to ask them questions, their mischievous children Havok and Hysteria, and explore an alternative take on Skylanders!
OOC : Actually yes I have, though I haven’t thought about publishing it at all. There is a stand-alone Kuros lore, which is actually what I’m basing the info-blog about. I’m not 100% on what the original story would be about though, as Malefor would obviously be taken out and the purple dragons wouldn’t be such god-like dragons. When I think about the original lore, it’s usually pre-fall.
OOC : Kuros that aren’t Spyro-like in design and lore are actually pretty huge 😀 I haven’t really drawn TOO many non-Spyroized Kuros, but physically a human would maybe come up to a Kuros’ ankle (of course, depending on breed). They’re more traditional in appearance with smaller eyes, and their metal bits would more than likely be modified into the shapes of weapons.
The only original-ques drawn Kuros I’ve done is actually my Sona (though, I still draw her more cartooney than what she should be most of the time).
My sona (who is a direct representation of me and isn’t treated as a separate character, hence why I gave her black bones for funsies as it looked better) is actually tiny compared to what a regular Kuros would be size wise. She’s around the size of a house, but she’s short, stumpy, and just a bundle of frills and wings too big for her body x,D
Then, actually Devine Havok’s dragon form is more original than Spyro-like.
But normal Kuros, again depending on breed, are normally around this size (damn Dark Souls being super freakn incredible for inspiration)
So their city would actually DWARF most creatures, but the lore is still very much the same. Their elements (though some would change a bit), Gods, language, culture and everything is nearly the same. AND, in whatever world they’re in originally, they were responsible for wiping out most humans.
Fixed my damn scanner. Have some backlogged commissions.
OOC : Oh my gawd, OH MY GAWD. Araudan looks freakn INCREDIBLE. I just knew you’d make her look majestically gruesome Omg thank you thank you THANK YOU, this made my night holy pooples ;u;

there is a 0% chance that you annoyed me and i don’t like you.
We do indeed talk Kuros lore a bit! As often as we’re both able actually. I’ve been planning on helping her write out some of the details behind the lore, as well as organizing a personal timeline and whatnot, mostly for Weirdlanders. Maybe for Feuriah’s Dawn in the future.
I think one of my favorite things I’ve influenced is the fact that Voteil is Asiirha’s son in one of the universes, but I can’t exactly say which one just yet. Gotta keep people guessing, yaknow? B)
I will say that the concept behind the Umbracorn for Weirdlanders is something I kind of sparked the initial idea behind? (Might be wrong this was more than two months ago.) I’ve been working at the lore for a while now, including the language, history, and culture. Beyond that I can’t reveal much, but what I WILL show you is this….
Meet the Lord of the Umbracorn. He leads the many herds of Umbracorn, one of the Kuros’s greatest and longest allies who willingly chose to forge an alliance with the Kurosians.
Feuriah keeps it very close to herself, but she still loves Cynder and is very proud of her daughter’s spunk and drive. She utterly hates that she had to banish her, and now that she’s lacking more and more on the old Kurosian ways, she wishes she didn’t give Cynder the mark. Her upbringing keeps her from showing her regret too much though, she has to own up to her decision by acting like she doesn’t consider Cynder a Kuros let alone her daughter. But, she has slipped up so often that now she’ll only admit it to a select few that Cynder’s even her daughter (not counting when she’s talking to yall), she just does her best to sweep it under the rug and let others continue without knowing if she can.
It’s REALLY bad for her to feel that way, at least in Kurosian standards, the fact that she didn’t kill Cynder for betraying her would probably dishonor her beyond recovery and would most likely get her either killed or banished herself (guess that’s one good reason the others are dead >n>’). Granted her decision was effected by another she made during the Fall; to go look for her son, or try to help her people out of the city. Though she still tries to cling to her old ways now as much as she can, just letting more and more slide now that she’s one of the last.
So if Hysteria did kill Cynder, I can see Feur being full of guilt and grief. She couldn’t be angry with Hysteria for doing what she was suppost to do (kill skylanders), but it would send her spiraling into another dark period of grieving similar to how she used to be the first few years she woke from her emerald entombment. While Feur wouldn’t punish Hiss for doing it, Havok certainly would. There would defo be a rift in the family o_o’
OOC : *distant yet loud screaming and screeching* look at thIS BEAUTIFUL AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN ONLY PAP SO MANY BABS
OOC : There’s an unspoken agreement between Feuriah and her son to not kill Cynder. Havok feels no attachment towards Cynder, 1) because he was born after she was banished and thus grew up not knowing her and 2) he respects the Kurosian law that comes with banishment. He’ll fight her and wound her, but he wont kill her merely because he knows it would hurt his mother whether she shows it or not.
Hysteria however feels nothing for Cynder, nor does she respect that her mother still secretly cares for her. To Hiss, Cynder is just another Skylander in her way. She doesn’t think about killing Cynder specifically, but if she had the opportunity in front of her she wouldn’t think twice about it.
It the situation did come where Hysteria was trying to kill Cynder, I think Feur would try to stop it in some way. It’s against the Kurosian way, but that is her weakness.
