Welcome to the Birgon Anatomy page! This page will show you the anatomy of each of the subspecies,
as well as tidbits of information! Click on a tab!
Anatomy of the Plains Birgon
- Wings. A Birgon without wings (either born without them or lost them in an injury/choice) is seen as Cursed and are outcast from Birgon society. They can be any kind of wings; feathered, bat-like, insect or even hand-shaped! A Birgon can have up to 2 pairs of wings without a mutation.
- Big noses and rounded snouts. Although a Birgon's face shape can vary, their noses are still quite large and their snouts are not concaved like typical mammal snouts.
- Ears low on the skull. Birgons have a very bird-like skull, and as such their ears are often positioned low, usually below the eyeline. They can, however, point up and above the skull, the base of the ear just needs to be below the eyes.
- Mane. All Birgons have a mane. Yes, even the aquatic and desert subspecies! While for most subspecies the mane is just for environmental protection, some subspecies use them as a means to attract a mate. They can be fluffy, sleek, feathered, furry or hairy. They can also cover the head, the neck or just the shoulders, or they can cover the head, neck, shoulders, back and base of the tail! The length and volume is entirely up to you.
- Large forearms and clawed fingers. Birgons are very strong, and as such the've developed strong arm muscles! They often use their forearms as battering rams, too. They have claws on their fingers! They can be separated like normal claws, or they can have fingerclaws, as shown in the image.
- Hock claws and shin scales. The Hock claw is a vesitgial claw from the ancient times, when Birgons closer resembled actual dragons. Some Birgons can control the claw like a toe, but some cannot. They can be separated like regular claws or seamless, as shown in the image. The Shin scales are also vestigial, but still serve some purpose for protecting the Birgon's legs from dangerous terrain.
- Claws toes and Digitigrade legs. As they are closely related to dragons, they have clawed toes and digitigrade legs. The shape and size of their claws and feet is open, meaning you can have a Birgon with raptor feet if you want!
Anatomy of the Tundra Birgon
Tundra Birgons are the second most common species! Because they're still very common, Many of the required traits are the same.
- Pawpads. These protect the skin and vital arteries in the hands, as well as provide extra grip for icy terrain! They can be shaped, combined, etc. as long as the pads cover the entire palm and half of the wrist.
- Hooves. Some Tundra Birgons have evolved to have hooves! Although the traction is a little slippery, it allows the Birgon to break ice much easier for fishing.
- Thick downy fur. All Tundra Birgons must have the minimum coverage of fur, as outlined in red on the image. The fur can be longer if desired, as outlined in blue on the image. The areas in yellow can never be covered/replaced in fur.
