ℤ∃ʁ∅ 823 Share Posted January 8, 2015 An creature that lives in thickly wooded areas. These sly beasts stalk their prey from the shadows with ferocious speed and dogged tenacity, and their massive tails are as dexterous as they are deadly. Physiology It has black scales, black fur and nightmarish red eyes, giving it the look and style of a predatory black panther. Its dark, feral appearance suggests that it may mainly be a nocturnal predator. This creature has been sighted within the forest at both night and daytime, the jungles, and also the swamp. When it's in enraged state its eyes glow bright red and leave a trail of reddish lines when Barrupau moves. Also, its tail erects large spikes which can be flung and linked up with its attacks for devastating hits. Their vertebrae and tail muscles are extremely flexible, making the tail of Barrupau also prehensile. Its tail is also its most powerful weapon. The scales at the end of the tail can also be shaken to produce rattling sounds similar to that of a rattle snake. Barrupau's face can be broken, as can its arms be cut. If Barrupau's tail has been damaged enough, it can be cut off. Abilities Barrupau has the ability to attack with almost every part of its body, mainly its bladed arms and its spiked tail. Its head can be used for biting. Its bladed arms are used almost for the entire battle and deal high damage. Its tail tip, which can be cut with a very sharp blade. When in an angered state its tail spikes will protrude until it gets out of it (Although they will protrude when it uses tail slams and it shoots tail spikes). Barrupau also has really strong muscles that let it jump really long and high. Behavior Barrupau is a careful and cautious monster. It is really easy for it to sneak up to a hunter. Barrupau lives in dark places that he has adapted to. Barrupau rest on high trees that are hard to reach, or maybe can't be reached, so hunters can't pick him by surprise for capturing it. Though Barrupau will wake up when hunters are right in front of the tree, due to its natural senses. Barrupau is highly aggressive and bloodthirsty, they attack without reason as they enjoy fighting, and it will achieve whatever ends to get its prey. With hunters it tends to be more aggressive than with its prey. Not too much is known about young Barrupau, but they may even be aggressive at birth. It also will kill prey with its tail instead of claws, making a cleaner kill. Habitat Barrupau is normally and mainly found in the forest, although there are quests where Barrupau can be found in the swamps and jungles. Biological Adaptations The Barrupau is well adapted to heavily forested areas. It can move easily through dense vines and branches thanks to its razor sharp arms. Also, due to the very small fangs of the Barrupau, the beast has developed a beak-like structure on its jaws. Another adaptation is its very flexible cartilage-like bone structure, which allows it to move fluently between the trees of the forests it inhabits. Whenever the Barrupau spins its tail, some hunters can hear it rattle almost like a rattlesnake; this is because the scales on its tail are attached loosely to make the tail very flexible. Its tail also seems to be quite stretchy, as shown when it does its tail slam, its tail doubles in length. One unique feature is the fur that grows along the Barrupau's back. The Barrupau possesses a well developed brain, and is able to plan its attacks. This can be proven whenever the Barrupau is in the "prowler stance", but its concentration can be easily disturbed by a strong sound. Many blood vessels are located near its eyes and ears, allowing it to enhance its senses whenever in its enraged state, creating the glowing red eyes. Habitat Range The Barrupau is extremely adapted to life in heavily forested areas. Barrupau thrive in the forest, jungles, and swamps. Its relatively light body structure most likely keeps it from inhabiting regions with extreme temperature or heavy climate shifts. Barrupau appears to be extremely adapted to life in a specific area. If it is to leave this area, it loses its niche and can quickly become out-competed by dominating local predators for food and, or territory. OOC Hello fellow peoples and hunters of LOTC, yes I am aware this creatures are from something else just edited. But hey there’s many things in lore or such that are on the server from different places, so why not give it a shot. Anyway to give a short idea for these creature and maybe questions. Are the creature playable ? Yes and no… I’d think it would be better if an ET actor would play the creature, because there will not be a skin for the monsters. I find that rather hard to make and for others to make, with such limits. If the creature are accepted I would like them to be built and copy and pasted to the areas with signs to connect whom to play them. No, as players aside from ET members. Whats the point of them being in Athera? Well, unseen creature in the world can be fun, either for hunting or researching. There are people the love the thrill of the hunt and things to kill for fun or as trophies. How will the creature be represented? As I said before, they will be built with mc blocks. I do not see the point of using mc skin and players to do it. Are they rideable ? Eh.. I'm on the fence about that.. It's very possible if given the chance you can, but you would be hurt or killed. Since they are hostile and will not like that. Can they be capture and trained? Well.. IF there was a percentage chance of capturing, give it a shot I guess. It would be your choice to do what you want with the creature but remember they are very heavy, so it would be best to have a few orcs to help you take it. Tameable.? That is another tricky idea.. Due to them being very hostile and predators it is very unlikely to tame them as pets or friends. Leading to my Druids out there . Well these creature would be in the animal category so Druids would be able to talk to them, on the other hand since they are hostile and want to eat,kill and fight with you. Druids would have a hard time calming the creature if lucky they'd calm them . What do you get from killing the creature? Well the reward from actually hunting and staying alive from the hunt you would be rewarded with such loot. If hunters brought a skinning knife or a sword to skin the creature for their pelt,hide and what not. Others would take the bones or teeth from them using for weapons or trophies. If hungry heck, use the meat as a meal for yourself and your fellow hunters. Why are they so over powered ? Why can't I fight them one on one?! This creature and a lot tougher and stronger than even an Orc. Their skin and bodies are a lot thicker and resistant to just a flesh wound. It would take at least a good 5-8 man with armor and Mages to attack one head on. If you was to fight one head on there is a 100% you would not make it for more than an hour, you would be a toy for the creatures. Do they have any weaknesses? How is the best way to take them down? Well, I don't want to ruin the fun or spoil the ways to proper hunt the creature. As hunters you must look around the surrounding you and the creature would be around and let that speak more for you. I really don't want to tell the weakness because that would break the point of the RP fighting it and players should be surprised on these encounters. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lawnmowerman 3040 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I don't see the need of this creature being implemented into Athera, since we already have so many similar things like Manticore's and Cockatrise's. The lore itself just seems kind of short and rather undescriptive and delved into. If you add a bit more to it, I might throw in a +1 For now it's a -1 that was legit my reaction to when I read it, sorry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldkingmeta 1 Share Posted January 10, 2015 It's a very good beast, same with the other one that was accepted.+2 for hopes that this one gets accepted this time around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
