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!
Pania: And I aim to keep that secret for them. ‘Tis something that we only ever share with the King and Queen of the Kuros, and we have never had that trust broken.
You’ll understand, I hope. It is not my intent to offend you, curious one; there are simply some mysteries that shouldn’t be solved and their answers known to everyone…
They are a sup-species of Kurosian Dragons thus possessing black scales and Kuronium bones. The most defining feature being blade-like claws and extra set of eyes. Their scythe claws are often extremely sharp as they avoid using them unless necessary. Strong and furious, looking into their eyes could scare someone stiff. Hell, some say it could even turn you to stone.
Abilities
Oyne seem to have some power over the Fear element but very rarely is it utilized are a “breath” attack. Inject Fear from cuts and eye contact. They show little potential in other elements. Legends say that exceptionally strong Oyne could turn enemies to stone. No one has witness this.
Extra set of eyes can tract and detect magic and heat but can’t see normally.
Fast on land or in the air.
Scissor sharp beaks and deathly sharp scythes.
Magic Resistance scales.
Society
Unlike there Kuro cousins Oyne focus less on spreading Evil and more on their own Selfishness. Thus they often have fewer rules. But do not make the mistake of thinking them friendly or indifferent. Outsiders, while not immediately killed, are put to quite a bit scrutiny and maybe verbally and physically harassed with no to little provocation. Like most Kuro they think that anything thats not them as lesser. Other Kuros often think they were wasting their potential, mind if the Kuro even knew they were a thing. They aren’t really a secret but they are not often relevant to anything. Some kuro royalty and generals have tried to enlist their help in warfare ( some by force) but have come back disappointed or not come back at all.
Oyne can mostly be found in groups of around 10 which are called murders that are fairly nomadic. But in the last hundred years one Oyne, known as Queen Rieper as gathered a following of at less a thousand, which the smaller groups call the Mass Murder. There is only ever one leader in a group and fights over who is top dog can breakout at any time and usually happens more the larger a murder becomes. Queen Rieper could only amass such a large gang only because of her immense strength along with her unnaturally sharp scythe. So sharp that she has been seen cutting off the claws of her opponents. Only the brave and stupid dare challenge her.
While Oyne usually lack markings, they will wear makeup, warpaint, or tattoos. Bright colors are wore by the leader and anyone caught wearing colors as bright or brighter then the leader will be considered a challenger.
Personalities
Most Oyne are quite gossipy and are rather nosy. They don’t mess a chance to out someone or talk about them behind their back. Self-centeredness is common placed. Compassion stays mostly inside a murder.
Workplace
The Kuros that would visit the Mass Murder hoped to use them as soldiers and assassins.
Trivia
Oyne are made with a bit of raptor, mantis and spider. A tiny bit of basilisk for flavor.
Beaks and blades can take many different shapes and take years to be honed into something the owner likes.
Common selfishness and lack of warfare means that Oyne breed little and live longer.
They sharpen their blades often to the point where in many its a common tick. Usually done in anger and nervousness.
Beklijvendeoyne is made by me for this. I want to be a cool kid too.
OOC : HOLY HIS DUDE, THESE GUYS. THESE GUYS ARE BADASS.
Really, REALLY freakn’ like these my gawd O-O Visually they’re hella unique, but the lore, my gawd the lore is really really interesting!!! Jebus, great work on this THEY’RE SO BADAAAASSSS
sorry the art isn’t very good
I tried my hand at making a Fan Breed/Subspecies. Inspired by the Medieval art of wyverns with front legs and wings, instead of the more common ones found in modern art.
OOC : OH HUSH YOU ABOUT THE ART, it’s gorgeous ❤ Not to mention creative, I love this take on the wyverns, I absolutely like this idea!
From now on, I’ll make a tag for fan-species on both this tumblr and the DeviantArt fangroup! I’m not sure why I didn’t before D: the tags for this blog will just be fan species, fan-species, and fanspecies 😀
WYVERNZ: Ladies and gentlemen…. This is Mehp. A kuros of the new craolig breed. She was only six years and lived all by herself in a barrel. She had a broken speech and talkd in the third person. She can be seen in random locations in kurosia. No one knew where she came from or if she had parent or not, But one thing is for certain… Mehp was a weirdo.
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 @spookoofinstoo!
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.
