This is really the only animal ref sheet necessary, since warlers are gonna be seen all the time and need to be accurately proportioned next to their human counterparts. Plus a main character owns one, so.

Finally sat down and hardcore referenced all the animals they're based on (wolverine, ferret, bear) to create a solid animal. Their overall size was increased to accommodate riders comfortably, also elongated the neck, shortened the legs, and thickened almost all the features, so now there's no question it belongs in colder climates. The coat colors don't matter much to the Derus, they aren't specifically bred, just natural variation.

Surely, but I'd say the flavor is more meat than chocolate ;p

They are beautiful! I was gonna pick my favorite one, but their color schemes are all so beautiful, warm, and natural-looking! You can clearly tell what animals they're based off of. :)

You like all the color schemes? I keep being off and on about the fawn coat, sometimes I think it's fine but sometimes it doesn't look right to me.

I was about to point out that maybe it's because the fawn coat doesn't have a lighter patch of fur above the eyes, but then I noticed that each color scheme has differences from the others which makes the picture even cooler! :dummy: I like the variety! :D

I think it looks fine, maybe it's a personal preference. :shrug:

Yeah at first they had the same coat patterns with just different colors, and I was like "that's lame." Glad you like the variety too!

Glad you like it so much! =D
Well, I wouldn't say calm... They have a personality similar to ferrets, which is mischievous, resolute, lively, and playful :XD: What type of sound do you imagine them making?
