LinkName: Reptillian landstriders
Biomes: plains, savana, desert, grassland, swamp and tundra
Each biome has unique adaptations to this species
Hight:
Male: 7-10 feet Tall
Female: 5-7.5 feet tall
Males have spikes along their spines along their spine, on the sides of their tails and hidden in their fur. Females are the same exept their spikes are blunt and rounded and have rows of them along their forearms in rows.
Males have a darker color scheme with their fur, spikes, horns, scutes, and raised scales being very vibrant and bright while females are more vibrant being cost commonly seen as mostly white. They share the same bright patches as the males. These patches glow in the dark and are used to communicate between other members of their species.
They have tufts of fur on the ends of their tails and on the under side of their forearms And on their backs. Most of the time this fur is fluffed up but they can flatten it to show fear or sadness.

LinkThis species hatches from eggs that remain dormant until the first spring rain of the new decade. The eggs are buried on the new moon just before the turn of the decade. A ceremony is held where the spots of the Landstriders glow the brightest to replace the glow of the moon and they can often be seen from hilltops by distant villages around the landstrider’s tribe lands. The eggs incubate for another year until the baby fully develops. On hatching day another ceremony is held where the elders of the tribe pass on their glow to the on coming babies after they claw their way out of the eggs and to the surface at sunset. The babies stay with the caretakers in the tribe until they fully access their ability to glow.
Each Landstrider’s glow is different depending on how they feel and each emotion glows with a different hue.

LinkA landstrider’s age is determined by the amount of scutes they have on their stomach. The older they are the fewer scutes they have. Each baby starts out with 30 scutes and two fuse every 50 years. Once the landstrider has less than 4 scutes it is considered an elder and will give their glow to the next generation of hatchlings.
This is a semi open species the accents can be any color that is not your main color. You can have as many as you want and make your own but please ask before making adoptables or customs. Thank you. A visual guide will be out soon.
