Cosmic Nychdrake[edit]
Physical Description[edit]
Cosmic Nychdrake are 6ft bipedal bat-like creatures with dragon-like features. Their fur is primarily white or black some having streaks of other colors going across their fur. Their wings hold galaxies within them, touching the inside of their wings gives off a gentle warmth created from the stars within their wings. The middle of their chest glows and gives off a bit more heat as their chest holds a small sun within them. Their tail is large like a furry dragon with small spikes protruding from the top of them going up to the back of their neck. The wings and arms of the Nychdrake are attached to each other similar to a bats wing, and their ears large as they are made to listen for dying stars. They can have up to 3 pairs of eyes, the colors are primarily bright colorful colors, some may have pitch black eyes.
History[edit]
Nychdrake’s primarily live in space, flying throughout the cosmos. Nychdrake’s are more so talked about in legend rather than seen by others eyes, they’re said to be the shooting stars flying through space, that when a star dies it's like a feast for the Nychdrakes who feed off the stardust and energy from the dying star. They are known as the creators of galaxies who use the stardust they consume to build new worlds and stars.
Attitudes and Beliefs[edit]
Nychdrake’s have a very playful attitude as they love flying around and playing with flying rocks. They find creating galaxies fun and like a game. They tend to get lonely at times and will fly down to a world to visit the local life as they are very social beings who enjoy being near others. They love playing games and will at times act very childish, running around and cashing after things, the smallest little things will distract them, from something shiny to something moving around fast like a cat and child mixed together.
