1: Automaton Demi: Rare offspring of the Hydra Behemoth
🌿 Hatchling:
Creation > Follow the Regular guide for simplicity's sake
Base anatomy differences > The keke is covered in a layer of fur that doesn't exceed 3 inches except on the elbows where it is longer. The belly scales are metal plates that face downwards in 'V' shapes. Each scale has two small gem 'screws' on it (which can be as shown above or in another configuration). There's also a large metal plate on the face that covers the eyes, but doesn't fully wrap around the jaw. Eyes are large gems. Add two small gems on the neck, one after the other. The mane is relatively small while the ears are long. The whole keke has two additional colors that outline it. Mouth is smooth without attached teeth
Bred anatomy differences > Each bred demi can have one of it's parent's traits applied to it or have a trait removed that one of it's parent's does not have. Note that upgrades are not considered traits! This is optional and can be skipped if desired
Color differences > Metal can be any color, but all must be the same color. The eye gem color will go on the rest of the gems as well. The color outline may be any two colors, but must be two different colors (so both layers are visible). Blood can be the accent or the gem color
Baby stuff > None
Description form > No change besides the addition of an 'obtained through' field. Note demis do not have Behemoth functions and will not provide account-wide benefits
🌿 Young:
Design > Follow the Hydra design rules for young
Matures out of > N/A
Description form > 'Favorite subject' field is optional
🌿 Youth:
Usable youth upgrades > Bedhead, blotches, chubby, drowsiness, feathering fall, growth spurt, missing teeth, puffball spikes, short stature, and any youth upgrades from other parent's subspecies/PC type that makes sense
🌿 Adult:
Default morphs > Joey, fae, reach, goblin, ledged, snowcoat, and spiny
🍒 Automatons technically have blood, but they don't actually need it to live! It's said to be liquified gemstone, shimmering and glittering brilliantly. It behaves akin to liquid mercury in that it sticks to itself and not much else
🍒 A creaking sound follows these keke around, but it isn't clear where it's coming from. This can be loud or quiet. It may depend on the keke or be more variable, changing based on things like the weather or their current mood
🍒 The color layers following the keke are nontangible. They appear directly behind them at all times and cannot be overlapped unless something/someone is touching them. In this case, the effect will cut out at the point of contact, to resume as soon as the demi's no longer being touched. This doesn't seem to apply to things such as clothes if the demi is inclined to wear them. The outline will appear to 'adapt', taking up the shape of the the clothing
