Beklijvendeoyne(Haunting eyes?)

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.

Subspecies – As Kuros are one of the most ancient species of dragon known to Skylands, there are countless subspecies that have evolved from them.

  • Yoldahr ( Pronounced “Yol-dare”) are a wyvern subspecies. Known to have had clans deep within the Kurosian mountains. This subspecies tend to have more of a snake-like appearances with retractable poisonous fangs. The markings along the Yoldahr’s body have an engraved appearance to them, accompanied by spiral patterns on their wings. The Yoldahr are reclusive in nature, and highly aggressive. They weren’t known to commune with the Kuros villages and cities, but rather kept to themselves among the mountains hunting Uka and other unfortunate prey. They were said to be able to speak, but were very primal and savage than their Kurosian forefathers. And, unlike the near extinct Kuros, there are still plenty hidden among the mountains. There are many different species of the Yoldahr, but all resemble snakes (species shown above are known as Kull’Yoldahr, viper like wyverns). The only part of the Yoldahr that has Kuronium are their fangs, though their skeletal systems are stronger than typical dragon bones.

Societal structure –

Yoldahr mostly make chattering, screeching noises rather than speak a language. They are clan oriented, but clans usually only consist of 5-10 Yoldahr, lead by a single alpha. The alpha is often the largest and strongest out of the rest, and is the most aggressive. The clans as a collective are highly reclusive, and stick to dark, damp reaches of the mountains to reside. They hunt the beasts that roam the mountains, targeting Uka and other predators in favor. They are not known to hunt Kuros, but will show territorial displays, which often does include attacking as warnings. The alpha is often the only one of the clan allowed to breed, they choose their mates by a variate of different ways. Some have mating dances, others judge by size, color, strength, and in some cases even screams.

Abilities

– Yoldahr are poison elementals. They are able to shoot poisonous projectiles, bite to inject venom, have poisonous barbs on their tails, etc. Although they are clan structured and rarely speak, Yoldahr are highly intelligent dragons.

Sizes

– While they are a wyvern subspecies, Yoldahr are actually larger than most elemental dragons. Sizes depend on species of Yoldahr.

Lifespans –

These wyvern dragons can live to up to 500-600 years, but as is typical of the Kurosian species as a whole, they don’t usually live too long. Due to the harshness of the environment and their social structure, Yoldahr are lucky to make it to 50.

Now this was a fun species to bring to life! A long, loooong time ago, I received a few asks about possible branching species of Kuros that were like wyverns and whatnot. This lead to me updating the Kuros page on Weirdlanders to add in subspecies, including these guys. But, just never drew them out. I tried a few times, but didn’t quiet like how they were working out.

But, I recently got a new ask wanting me to delve into the Yoldahr! After finishing the mini commissions, I felt like a doodle of one would be fun! And… well… I ended up drawing a reference sheet x,D Though, this is just one kind of Yoldahr, one based off of the badass bush viper! I have ideas about their actual lore, but nothing’s really finished up yet.
