What exactly were Kurough’s plans for his people? I think I remember something about a purge.

Kurogh felt that the reason the Kuros were dying out was because of the weak. Weak willed, weak minded. He thought Kurosia needed a new breed of leader, one like him, to lead them back to glory. He was one of the best Warlords in all of Kurosia, and many military leaders were the ones to become Kings. He just didn’t consider his own selfishness and need to have all the fame and admiration. 

Feuriah put a huge wrench in that plan. She was his total opposite, wanting to follow in Athrenna’s footsteps. Kurogh was willing to forgo a lot of traditions and focus efforts more on wars, while Feuriah wanted to be more logical in finding out why the capital was the last known Kurosian city. She gave birth to a Seuth, and in her mind, was the key to the future of their people. Kurogh was almost convinced of this, but once more his own plans were interrupted. 

When Malefor came in, everything changed. There were legends that spoke of a purple dragon born to Darkness coming to their aide and rekindling the Balance. Immediately, the Kuros bowed to him, Kurogh being the most glamoured by Malefor. When Malefor spoke of wars and taking over lands that never belonged to them, Feuriah knew something was wrong. Especially when Kurogh was blindingly on board with following Malefor’s every word. Malefor manipulated Kurogh and eagerly allowed him to use the Kurosian armies to his will, but once he caught wind of a rebellion, he started twisting Kurogh around his claws. 

Malefor convinced Kurogh that his people needed a cleansing. He was able to make Kurogh despise Voteil for being a faulty or broken Seuth, and everyone who didn’t agree with them posed an even greater threat. By purging Kurosia of the weak willed, it would leave them with a pure Kurosian army to reclaim the mountains. History would shine on Kurogh’s name, his bloodline would be treasured for being the King that saved the Kuros. 

Kurogh thought his plans were for his people, but his desires were, in truth, selfish.

And now, time to guess which of those example Kuros in that ref sheet is Nimsain! I am thinking the one with the blue mandibles and eyes because in the post where someone asked about how Nimsain’s breed was coming along, you included one of the mugshots of the blue Urla. Absolutely lovely by the way! Now I want to make an Urla based off of a butterfly.

Sadly, none of them! I held off on designing Nim until i was ready to, those are just random designs to display the variety the Urla can have 😀 And even then it’s more branched out. Nim’s still pretty low on my to-do list, but I’m glad I finally got her breed down! ;u; 

And thank you so much! I hope yall have fun with them!

purplehorsedrawswhatever:

As much as I’m happy with the remaster and what we have, it fucking irritates me that people STILL have a need to say smth about Skylanders. Like, some people were thinking for real in the original trilogy remaster(!) devs wanted to put his Skylanders(!!) design. Another thing is, someone decided to bitch about how cartoon-ish and Skylanders-ish it looks; for the record, it looks like that because, well shit, it’s made by the same people who made Skylanders.

Also, Spyro’s finally free from Skylanders? Bitch, Activision still owns Spyro, and there’ll be probably 3rd season of Skylanders Academy. Got a problem?

I’m still sticking to my opinion when I think people don’t fucking deserve this remaster. Because they can’t just shut the fuck up how much they hate Skylanders and stop whining for a brief second.

They’re heeEEeeere!

Finally after a long wait (my apologies), the Urlathei are here! Say hello to your buggy new friends 8D

The ref itself it way too big for tumblr, so it’s up on my dA! It’s the most detailed I’ve gone into a breed, but I plan on doing an in-depth ref of all the breeds like this for the Kurosia website.

Their lore will be updated at a later date! It needs some more tweaking, but since the ref itself was already completed, I wanted to post them up instead of waiting 😀

Enjoy!

I noticed that some of your dragons, not just Kuros, have what appear to be beaks, or pointed muzzles, while others have blunt muzzles. Is this on an individual basis, or is it based on breed or species?

Excluding commissions, it’s individual most of the time. I have problems with the ‘same face’ thing, and I really wanna change that. Dragons come in different sizes, shapes, etc, and I want to try and branch my stuff out beyond just spyro-esque dragons. Some day I REALLY want to do more realistic ones, but I gotta work my way there.

Was it possible for a Fiosioc or a Brokt to be covered entirely with fur/hair? Same with Yinvahts with feathers?

All fur Fiosioc and all feather Yinnies, yup! It’s just not all that common. All hair Brokt? Not too likely, but they can have a LOT of hair. Which isn’t all that comfortable for them, Brokt hair is very tough and abrasive, like straw x,D It can appear fluffy but when touched or petted, it’s not a good time. 

Havok’s hair is like this actually; he goes out of his way to find conditioner for it x,D

I am planning on sending you a couple of bios for two fanKuros I had been working on for the past couple of days. I will warn that they may come off as a little bashy towards the Kuros, but they are about two pariahs, so it kind of just ended up going in that direction because these two characters were treated badly by the Kuros, so I hope you will not feel offended.

Aw hon, thank you for the heads up! I totally understand; the Kuros were hated and feared by *many* species, so it makes sense that there will be characters made to hate them. I appreciate you being thoughtful of my feelings though hon, thank you ❤ I really look forward to them!!!!

Here’s something I’ve noticed about the “Bound by Blood and Fate” picture, the one depicting Feuriah, Kurough, Cynder and Voteil”; who is “Sinnan”? I am not sure if she had ever been mentioned outside of that picture. I am assuming she was similar to a mother figure to Feuriah since nobody actually knows who her mother actually is.

Feuriah grew up in an orphanage, and those that either didnt know their parents or chose to, got to use the orphanage’s name as their relation. Shinnan was the one Feur grew up in! Athrenna founded it, and named it after the village she was originally from 😀

Has havok ever been scared by hiss? If so did anyone see it happen? Vovo did you see?

Havok’s reeeeeeally worried about what Hiss could do in the future more than anything. Kaos is too proud of her to see any dangers, and Feur is as well, but Havok’s fully aware of her morals. Or, lack thereof.

She’s threatened him many times, usually it’s over small squabbles like teleporting him to different places of the castle. While it comes off as playful to others, Havok knows why she does that; to remind him that she could easily teleport him to the base of the city where the poltergeists can get him, or worse. She hasn’t, but it’s her way of saying ‘stay out of my way, or I could easily do away with you and nobody would know’. Havok has the upper hand for now, knowing more about Kurosian magic, and often does the ‘reminding’ her that he’s stronger and smarter than her, for now. He’s stubborn in his own way and refuses to let her subdue him, but he knows the danger she could pose when she gets even older.

Viril and Luminous are aware because Havok’s told them. Luminous wont admit it, but he’s veeeeery afraid of Hysteria and often urges Havok to kill her first. Hysteria doesn’t like Luminous either, since he’s a Light elemental, something she’s very weak against. 

As for Voteil, he won’t go near Hysteria. He can see glimpses into the future, this dimension and anothers, and it utterly terrifies him. It reminds him a lot of The Fall, of Malefor. Havok’s unaware, but Voteil will enter his dreams and implant the visions he sees of Hysteria to warn him of some things that could be dangerous, but Voteil hasn’t honed his abilities, so he often blurs which future is the current dimension’s future. Big Bro Vovo tries 8,D

So, if the black coloration that all Kuros have is a result of Darkness, is it possible that their scales can be different colors beneath it?

Everything about a Kuros is Darkness, from spiritual, abilities, and body. They can have secondary colors, buuuut the only way they can have all colored scales is either by illusion, or they’re hybrids. Removing Darkness from a pureblood Kuros would probably kill them unfortunately D: 

Unless I got the question wrong I’m sorries if I misunderstood it 8,D There are different scale types for Kuros (Something I plan on getting into more too). A lot of them have ‘thin scales’, like Feuriah, which are more like snake/lizard skin, while others like the Brokt and Allus can have thick layers of scales that offer better armored protection. Though usually, the ‘skin’ is still black/grey, or whatever secondary colors.
