Quick Description: 

This lumbering creature is a terrestrial & arboreal generalist with a food range that matches their variable lifestyle. This species uses its hard head and long claws in order to access hard to reach hiding prey, insects, large roots & tubers, or any edible thing it can get its hands on with the use of bashing , slashing, and climbing their way to get to them. Their large size aids in weighty competitions between other contesting males & females for territory and food, but can also aid in pushing down or breaking apart rotting logs for any tasty morsels. 

Vell’s Howlers tend to be a nocturnal species, becoming active in the evening and all through the night, then finally hunkering down when the sun comes up. This species is characteristically named the “howler” for the male’s territorial calls, this chilling sound can be heard for up to a mile. 

This particular species is typically known for congregating around the Demi-God “Vell” as their pocket dimensional effects are a sought after environment. 

Misc Facts: 

• Generally sleepy creatures, do not wake them up unless you have a snack to offer.
• Stores fat in tail for the colder seasons.
• Gives off the scent of lavender & Coffee.
• “Moon Shaped” marking on the tail is used to signal to other Howlers as a means of visual communication, the bolder and clearer their moon marking is, the healthier they are.

COLOUR RANGE

Howlers are a mid to dark toned creature primarily on the furry parts of their bodies, any bare skin is typically light in colour but you’re able to use dark colours as well.

The night sky is their usual theme, sticking to dark night colours are what they’re commonly seen with. 

The colours depicted here are loose iterations that are requested to be worked within, some deviation is allowed but if the design is too far from the natural look of the creature then it has a high possibility of being denied.
