HellBeasts

HellBeasts


Inside Their DNA

Hellbeasts are pure perfection. A perfect mix of Hellions and BloodBeasts - they take away nearly every disadvantage either of the species has. The wing disability of the BloodBeasts at a certain age, control over their Blood Rage (What will be known as Half Rage mode within HellBeasts), including immunity towards disease as well as a long lifespan.

Half Rage is merely an adrenaline rush towards our HellBeasts - it does not change their eye color the way a BloodBeast would, and it takes a lot to trigger an unwanted rage such as extreme stress. A HellBeast can choose to have a rage-rush at any point and time.

Hellbeasts are also much larger than both their dominant parents combined. They can reach an average of two meters at the shoulder - and there are no size differences between sexes. HellBeasts whom are of dominant nature have a greater hormonal rush that makes them grow to sizes of 2.5 meters at the shoulder. (The "Liger-Size" Effect.)

Wings are a genetically dominant.

Behavioral/Percentage Mixes

Most HellBeasts have the natural behaviors of BloodBeasts and Hellions - it's within their genes as they are the perfect blend of both species. However, there is one slight difference between each and every individual HellBeast that is completely to their own choosing. If a HellBeast breeds with a pure of one of the parent species - that cub will lean more towards the parent species.

Example, Hellbeast breeds with Hellion - makes the litter 75% Hellion, 25% BloodBeast, they would definitely lean more towards the genes of the parent species and not be as strong as a 50/50 HellBeast. It is dependent on each individual HellBeast on how they view the new 'mixed' Hellbeast, be it a mutt, or pure. To further clarify, if a litter were 75% Hellion - females would tend to be more larger and males more smaller, as they'd follow the Hellion genes more so than if they were a perfect blend. If they were 75% BloodBeast, they'd be a tad more susceptible to Blood Rage, to height being around the same, and being more open to disease.

Breeding

Breeding generally follows the parent species rules regarding the time frame they can breed. Hellion males with a female Bloodbeast wouldn't be prone to having large litters - male Hellions lack barbs needed to properly stimulate ovulation. However a Bloodbeast male with a female Hellion could grant anywhere from four to six cubs in a single litter. With HellBeast litters, because of this, it could vary between either one to five cubs for the total amount in a single litter.

Appearance

HellBeasts are an even blend of both species. Pelt colors come in a wide variety as opposed to the mainly reds and grays that BloodBeasts have or the dull colors that Hellions have. Marking colors are very volatile genetically and can come from multiple sources, i.e, the pelt of either parent, marking of either parent, the eye color matching the marking from the Hellions genetics or even just a darker variant of the given pelt shade. They have a wide variety of tufts and manes to be born with because of the parent species possibilities, however, they are restricted by gender, just as Hellion mane and tufts are restricted.

Within this, they also have the sub-species of the Hellion categories to fall into; the freezing climates adapted sub-species, Hiematus, the densely wooded areas adaptation of the Nemorensis, and the hot climates of the Ignigena. These sub-species only affect the HellBeasts by half, however, as HellBeasts are only half of a Hellion.

Creation

Colors, as stated, are given in an extreme wide variety. Typically, it's a good idea to start with a good base color, and move on from there. Colors can either reflect opposites colors, or shades of the same color. It is incredibly common for the underfur, inner ear, and tail tips to match in color, but the inner ear doesn't always match any specific color. Above eye and below eye are by choice - either a ring around the eye, or one darker and the other lighter.

Manes are restricted by gender, and can either be darker than the pelt, same color as the pelt, same color as the underfur, or same color as the markings.

Mane 3, 5, 8, 16, 17, 18, 20, and 21 are possible manes for Males.

Mane 5, 8, 16, 18, and 20 are possible manes for Females.

Tuft 1, 2, 3, 6, and 7 are possible for males or females, and Tuft 11 is possible, but rare in non-cold climates.

Eyes can be any color but are most commonly blue, yellow, or green.

Wings, as stated previously, are dominant genetically. The color follows the pelt, underfur, or markings. On the rare occasion, it will match none of the above three and instead, either be a darker or brighter color.
