[*]Distinctions:
- Male(All): More pronounced Horns/Antlers, Brighter in color. Can have a metallic sheen of the scales.
- Female(All): Small horns/Antlers, Dull colors Matte finish to scales. Some can be without hind legs, or legs at all.
[*]Races:
- San'Sydana: Base species. Color variations do not mean any differences. These creatures cannot have the force, and are considered Semi-Sentient due to lack of Technology, lack of a language, and simplistic thoughts. An Intelligent Animal.
- Ao'Syndana: Force Sensitive, and with it, intelligence. Limited speech to other species. Most notable of their abilities are Telepathy due to the shape of their mouths being difficult to form audible words.
[*]Strengths:
- Without Wings: Despite their size, and the lack of wings, they have the ability to fly. This is mostly limited to atmospheric travel, and are not space worthy. There is no true understanding of how one of these can fly, however various theories have been birthed from their ability to fly with a lack of wings or technology.
- Force Capable: One of the races of the Sydana, has the ability to be force sensitive. This causes a distinction from the two races of the serpentine creatures. The Force sensitive ones, Ao'Syndana, are also able to comprehend and react to speech, and of course, use the force.
- Scales: The serpents have scales that are very strong. Able to withstand a barrage of energy weaponry, and your more conventional weapons. Their scales are lightsaber resistant to a degree.
- What big Teeth: Sharp teeth, and claws are their primary way of hunting for creatures. While the Ao'Sydana tend to use the force in conjunction with their natural skills and talents, Those that are without the force have only one way of hunting. Old school style.
[*]Weaknesses:
- Rarity: With the creatures themselves being extremely rare to ever see, let alone get close enough to touch or interact with such creatures, it is unsure how often the ability for the force to manifest for the Ao'Sydani. While normal near-human populations have them at single digit percentiles, it is assumed the same of these serpents.
- Younger years: Their scales are known to be lightsaber resistant. However, these scales only strengthen after years worth of time. A young one among their species is generally around 100-250 years. It is only around the time of 350-450 years of age do they show signs of their scales hardening more, and solidifying to resist such weapons.
- Size: Due to the creature's size, it would be difficult to be in smaller spaces that accommodate near-humans. When flying, the length of the creature to make it quite visible.
- Weight: These creatures are not light. While they can fly, and even float in the air, when laying upon the ground, they are not something you want to be underneath. Even one that is barely out of infancy (50 years) could weight just over a ton. This also limits their ability upon the ground. Sliding around like an actual serpent can cause a very noticeable trail in their wake.
- Secluded: Most sightings of these creatures are in isolation from one another. No two have ever been seen together. While it is unsure to the public knowledge of how these creatures create offspring, they mostly live solitary lives, and live far and away from near-humans upon Kro Var. Thus they lack any form of technology, as well as have poor social skills. That is if you can even talk to one.
- Waste not: It is unsure if these creatures actually die, or if they are like the mythology of a Phoenix and just recreate themselves as no forms of fossils, or remains of bodies are left or have ever been found. As such, some speculate that the Sydana cannibalize one another when one perishes.
CULTURE
- Diet: Public suggests that they do not find anything poisonous to them, however it is assumed that the serpents are Omnivores due to some farmers finding half devoured lifestock where half of the entire body, bones included are missing, but also find in the mountains large scratch marks with debris from the mountains. Assuming these rocks are ingested to aid in the grinding of leafy foods.
- Communication: Hissing, roars, clicks, growls, and for force sensitives, there is a chance for them to be able to communicate via telepathy, or broken forms of basic if they happen to know how to speak basic.
- Technology level: No technology is known. However, it is assumed that they use rocks to aid in digestion of foods. Primitive at best.
- Religion/Beliefs: There are no direct religions that these creatures adhere too. However, some within the Kro Var Community believe these creatures to be Gods, or dieties and some worship them as such. Others believe them to be mythological creatures such as a unicorn, phoenix, or Griffon.
- General behavior: Solitary creatures, rumors of those who have encountered the creatures state that they are wise beyond any living being. Some state that these creatures are rather calm and sage like in their actions. Others say they can be conniving and deceitful, once more they can be called angry and wrathful. Because most of this is speculation upon the myths that people spread by word of mouth, and through texts, there is no 100% truthful writing of them. Most simply assume that these creatures are just intelligent flying serpents.
No one truly knows how this species was first found. Many Myths state that these creatures were born from the void of space and created the planet of Kro Var. Scientists believe that these creatures, much like the Kryat Dragons of Tattooine, are dependents from Star Dragons. Prophets believe that these creatures are the Gods and Goddess that give them the power to shape the elements and give them the gift of the force.
As the story goes, These massive serpents created Kro Var by encircling the dust of a nebula. Condensing it down to become the planet it is today. However, as the beings didn't know what to do exactly with the planet, many wanted to keep it as their home, while others wanted to move on, and others wanted to create new species. War broke out between them. This war lasted for eons. Turning the planet into a barren wasteland, it was when the serpents had one final fight.
Only known as "Ao" a most fearsome and powerful specimen, fought against 70 of his brethren. Eventually, the fight ended with Ao upon the mound of his brethren who fell in battle. From his mourning of their death, and because of so much blood being shed by his own hands, he floated as high as he could, then slammed into the ground. An explanation as to how the Ungoth Valley was formed. The impact creating the valley itself and the blood of Ao completing the creation of the planet and its lava flows.
All other serpents saw this, and settled in peace. Deciding to leave the planet and to separate. Become secluded from one another to avoid another war. While this was kept for an untold amount of time, when the first human and near human travelers landed upon the planet, that the being known as San'desu introduced himself to the humans. It was the chosen among these people that he gifted the power of the Gods. Granting them the ability to control the elements just as he could. As so, the Shapers of Kro Var were born.
Since then, only rumored sightings have been told of these creatures, and that they are rarely ever seen. However, referred to in lore, mythology, and fictional texts, many do believe in these stories. However, most will say these are stories created to explain things before Science was discovered. A way to get children to sleep and stories to keep them happy.
However, there is some truth to every story.
