Canon: Vornskr Strill
Links: Created by GenPals
Name: Vornskrill maximus, Vornskrill ™
Designation: Non-Sentient
Homeworld: GenPals Lab, Morellia, Engineered Species
Language: N/A
Average Lifespan: 14-17 years
Estimated Population: Scattered (Manufactured)
Description: A hybrid creature, taking the preferred traits of their parent species. These larger canines are a more domesticated form of their wild cousins, meant as personal security animals and companions.
PHYSICAL INFORMATION
Breathes: Type 1
Average height of adults: 1.4m
Average length of adults: 1.8m (including tail)
Skin color: Pink
Fur color: Brown, tan, black, white, grey, brindled
Distinctions: Sleek and well muscled, these short furred canines have long pointed ears, six legs and a long tail sporting the Vornskr's characteristic 'sting', but with a more amenable temperament. Lacking the disagreeable odor of the Strill, they are well suited as companions for any family.
Races: N/A
Strengths:
(+)Force Sensing: Vornskrill ™ are keyed into the Force. They can be easily trained to react in certain fashions when they sense it, effectively alerting their owner to Force Users/Use in the area.
(+)Sturdy: Tough customers. They can take a beating and keep on getting up until they have simply sustained too much damage. They are strong, dependable animals that don’t go down without a fight.
(+)Six Legged: Six legs makes them fast and stable, able to retain their balance even in unstable situations.
(+)Poison Sting: Vornskrill ™ have a poison barb on their tail that can stun a roughly human sized sentient. This has lesser effects as a target gets larger or has a resistance to poisons. The stunning effects are relatively brief, lasting 5-10 minutes- long enough to get away from a threat or neutralize it through other means.
Weaknesses:
(-)Teeth not blades: While teeth, claws and sting can easily cut through flesh, they are useless against an armored opponent.
(-)Metabolism: These are hungry bois. Expensive to feed and requiring massive calorie inputs, an underfed Vornskrill will be weak but also dangerous even to its handlers.
(-)Yslamiri Incompatible: Just like GenPal’s Pocket Vornskr ™, Vornskrill ™ are incompatible with Ysalamiri and their relatives (including Salafranders ™ ) and cannot be raised together- they cannot be trained to not eat them.
(-)Sterile: Like all GenPals animals, Vornskrill ™ are sterile to discourage irresponsible breeding.
(-)Proprietary: Like all GenPals animals, Vornskrill ™ require GenPal brand food to remain healthy and within warranty. GenPals animals fed non-branded food will eventually weaken and possibly die, as they are engineered with certain nutrition needs only their proprietary blend contains in the right ratios.
CULTURE
Diet: GenPals Brand Vornskr Chow. Can be supplemented with GenPals Brand Canine treats and small amounts of meat to treat your new best friend! Vornskrill™ should not be fed off brand food or it will void their warranty.
Communication: Extensive body language, barks, growls, yips, whines and whimpers.
Technology level: N/A
Religion/Beliefs: N/A
General behavior: Vornskrill ™ are canine to the core. Deeply loyal and affectionate, they are more family bent than the Pocket Vornskrs ™ and can easily accept a larger ‘pack’ without specific training. They are particularly good with children and no child ever found a greater friend or fiercer protector than a happy Vornskrill ™. Playful and active, they require regular exercise or they can become destructive, chewing on various household objects (GenPals is not responsible for items destroyed by your Vornskrill ™ ). Easily trained to do their business outside, walk on a leash, do tricks and other basic commands, Vornskrill ™ make excellent companion animals. Less aggressive with random strangers than their smaller cousins, Vornskrill ™ are however highly sensitive to signs of aggression in others, and will respond with a warning growl and raised hackles. How they react from there will depend on their training- they can be trained to a wide variety of commands and responses, from subdual of a threat without serious harm all the way up to going straight for the throat.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Created along side the Griffins as part of the beginning offerings of GenPals newest line of personal security animals, Vornskrill ™ were an easy choice to balance out the more feline Griffins. Not everyone likes cats, after all, and there is something to be said about the appeal of a large canine stretched out at ones feet. Their particular marketing as good companion animals for children was deliberate, and the inclusion of the Strill biology allowed the hard coding necessary to follow through on that promise.
