Baby Yehks are born with the ability to shapeshift right away, but their natural form is not like their full grown counterparts. They’re roughly the size of a normal horse, with their wings not fully developed but enough to allow them to fly upon hatching. They are able to care for themselves, and are born with the instinct to hide in other, lower forms to camouflage themselves. It can take half a century for a Yehkshir to grow to adulthood, and can live until they’re killed by the Black Swords. They are born with their crowns not yet formed, but their elemental gems grow with them. While they do not seem to have eyelids, they have a translucent set of eyelids that slide over their eyes in a circular motion. Their pupils eventually dull and their eyes turn a deep crimson when they’re full grown. They also sound like this

Although they can fend for themselves when they hatch, the mother will often flee with her Yehkshir egg and leave the others to naturally be spread among Kurosia (it is unsure how this happens. Some are distributed as eggs, others raised by beasts or ‘unknown dragons’ until they happen upon a Kurosian village, etc. There are many more tales of how the offspring of Yehkshir blend into the realm). The mother feels compelled to teach her single egg how to fight/kill/escape from the Black Swords, how to hunt for prey, etc. The mothers only stick around for a short period before they get sick of their daughter’s company, and abandon them. If the daughter doesn’t leave them first.

Olfur’Yehkshir, the bigger, all-mother Yehkshir, are born full grown with a single core element, with all their memories intact. Their eggs emerge deep underground as Mahoura’s own flesh is part of Kurosia; eventually making their way to the surface to once more hunt again. 

However with Mahoura asleep, she is unable to give birth to the Olfur. The Yehkshir that remain are far and few, the Black Swords killing them off more and more over the century Mahoura’s been asleep. Soon, the Yehkshir will die out, and the last hope of Kuros returning depends on awakening the Gods again.

B-day Gift : Scarf of the Gods

“There are tales of a mighty dragon who braved the nest of the Yehkshir. With his majestic scarf, it is said that he swooned the evil Goddesses from causing him harm. Many have tried this feat but have failed, ‘twas only the impeccable charm of this hero and his trusty scarf that has ever walked away from the nest lavished in dark kisses.”

Birthday gift for @thornacious featuring Inbarrnán (Yehkshir believed to be responsible for giving Kuros the water ability), Yahvii (Feuriah’s mommah) and some random normal Yehkshir! 

Hope you had a wonderful birthday you buttfart!

Did the Yehkshire ever having willing mates or did they always deploy shape-shifty deception to breed?

OOC : They think more like praying mantis’, where they usually eat the male once they’re done with them. Though maybe a certain scarf could convince them otherwise ;D

Honestly a scarf being something that stops them from turning on their prey would be hilarious I like this idea.

Worth the risk!! 

Kinda think him even thinking it would annoy a certain Queen though. =p

OOC : AHAHHAHA the struggle is real, poor Thorn *pats*

Aurora : I don’t know much about them, but from what they told me, they were a secretive band of werebeasts that had dedicated their lives to hunting the Yehkshire. 

I only met three of them, but there were many many more in their pack. They were led by a werehyena named Nikolios, his mate December, and their rather rude and aggressive beta Rashida. I liked Niko, he was serious when he needed to be, but he at least smiled and was friendly toward me. December was cold… no pun intended. I tried to visit her dreams but all I ever saw was cages, blackness, and wolves fighting. Rashida… I could never go near, even in dreams. It was like she hated everything, like she was always angry. 

Niko’s family had been hunting Yahvii for generations. His bloodline had been chosen to take on the task of slaying Yahvii, as each clan of these hunters apparently were given specific ‘head yehkshire’ to kill. Niko’s family had been killed by Yahvii, leaving him as the last of his bloodline. So he went out and found werewolves to join him in his purpose. 

That’s all that he told me… December refused to tell me anything of where she originated, and Rashida only bit at me. They didn’t care about me or my Mistress, Niko was nice but… he didn’t care about Warfang or the fate of dragons. They just wanted to kill Yahvii, or any other Yehkshire and her eggs. I had tried to get them to join my Mistress’ cause for the special egg, but they swore they’d destroy the nest once they found it. So it was up to me to save the special egg.

??? : The one called “Yahvii”, yes. She was given purpose, but it was for her own kind, not for Warfang. My mistress hoped that the special egg would see beyond that, but the living ruined it. I do not know what happened to Yahvii after the hunters found her nest, if the hunters succeeded in slaying her, or if she escaped and rejoined the other Yehkshire in that Veil. 

Can Yehkshire control what element their young get, or influence it? Because Feuriah’s element seems VERY different from that of her immediate family, so I was wondering if it came from the influence of her mother?

OOC : Not really, there’s a handful of Yehkshire for every element. The abilities OF the element can change, like how a fire elemental can breathe lava or fire, what color fire, etc. That tends to depend on the type of male they pick to breed with. The male doesn’t have to be the same type, they simply look for strong/powerful males to prey on.

There are more elemental Yehkshire than the Skylander elements, as there’s few Yehkshire for Ice, Water, Wind, etc. Pretty much following Legend elements. Though there’s no Yehkshire for Dark since… well, they’re all dark versions OF the elements xD

As for Feuriah’s mommy, there’s two possibilities. I may or may not reveal much about her, like Acerbus being her father it wasn’t something I ever really planned on revealing. But I may 8D
