Craolig (Cry-ow-lig)

Craolig are a strange looking kuros that are thin, almost skeletal, with bulbus heads mostly made up of their eyes. Despite their comical appearance, these Kuros are not to be messed with. Due to their thin finger-like claws and thin frames, Craolig are notorious as the stealthy Kuros. They can move silently and even turn their eyes jet black to help themselves sink into darkness. However, Craolig are not very strong and heavily depend on the element of surprise to be victorious.

Abilities

Craolig are commonly associated with the element of Shadow, a close kin of Darkness. Of course there are Craolig with other abilities, but they are commonly shadow elementals. Dousing themselves in their own darkness, or they can envelope the shadows/darkness around them to help hide their bodies. Craolig are impeccably fast, agile, graceful but silent. They can move in a beautiful mesmerizing fashion, or strike fear into their prey’s hearts by moving fast and twitchy. They have screech like roars that echoes the farthest of any Kuros.  

Society

Within the Kurosian society, Craolig are often received in a mix-match of ways. Many Kuros mock or laugh at a Craolig due to their odd appearance and lack of muscle, but the wiser ones know better than to upset a Craolig. They are known for holding onto grudges, as most Kuros do, but have the keen ability to trick and manipulate very well.

Personalities

Like with any individual, this varies, however Craolig are incredibly intelligent like the Fiosic. They are known to speak with sophisticated accents and harbor a vast knowledge on whatever they’re interested in. A lot are known to be tricksters, as they can move without making a sound.

Workplace

Due to not being very good at claw-to-claw combat, Craolig are rarely part of the military. There are plenty of factions with stealth heavy dragons, but they very rarely see combat. Instead, they’re scatted around the city (or villages) as chroniclers, musicians, entertainers, and teachers.

Trivia

  • Craolig are based off of Blunt-Headed Tree Snakes
  • This species favorite food are often insects and small rodents
  • Craolig markings are two toned and often patterned differently than the other Kuros breeds. Almost in a camouflage like fashion.
  • Because they aren’t commonly used in battle, Craolig tend to live longer than most breeds, but stay around the same size once they reach maturity.

HERE THEY BE! Thanks to @rurikredwolf and @sazi-skylion for actually inspiring to doodle Ooblis, which pushed me to just make them a canon breed. They were a lot of fun to design and think of for the lore xD 

There’s another breed that will be announced soon created by @spookoofins too!

ENJOY THE GOOF BABS 😀

Back when the Kuro city was heavily populated could any of the Kuros have cross bred children or half bloods of other species?

Lost Queen : Such an act was only for Kuros of high status, as we did often did marriages to form pacts with other clans and species. Reproducing would often seal the pact, and insure that Kuros and their kind were a wise joint. Those that bred outside the species and where NOT given proper permission were either stripped of all status, jailed, banished, or killed.Â
