Description
!Closed Species!wheezes
I'm finally done
Let me know if you catch any spelling errors or what not!
Wattles:
External sensory organs used to sense prey, communicate and hear. Typically wattles come in threes, and are most commonly found above the eyes and jaw but the amount, shape and placement can vary.
Arms and Legs:
6 arms with 4 toes on each foot
2 legs with 3 toes on each foot
*Webbing between toes optional
Axolotl Dragons are very clumsy on land, moving very similar a crocodile when walking and more like a river otter while running.
They have long flat heads with 2 or more whiskers with wattles on each end
Nictitating Membrane, or third eyelid, protects eyes from debris while underwater
Axolotl Dragons have four canines and large forked tongues
color of inner mouth and eyes typically match
Axolotl Dragon Types
There are 4 main types
- Ocean
- lake/river
- Pond/stream
- Domestic/designer
Life Cycle:
Axolotl Dragons lay eggs, the eggs will remain in a state of suspended animation until they come in contact with water.
Eggs hatch into tadpoles, that will remain a dull grayish color until they imprint on either an insect or amphibian, they will then begin mimicking the colors and patters of said creature until they reach adulthood at 4-6 months.
Droughts can also trigger another stage of development more suited for travel on land. They develop long limbs, dry tougher skin and lateral line down their sides.

I’m really not trying to hate and I know I’m probably just going on a rant but I think it’s kind of absurd that this is made into a closed species. ;-;

because not only do many people have different interpretations of an axolotl dragon, but it’s not something very original that you yourself have truly created. and no i’m not saying it stolen or copyrighted i’m saying look at other original species, they are a mix of so many things and they are recognizable. also many people make axolotl dragons not knowing that it’s closed from some random artist who also thought of it.

I'm so sorry I never responded to this! I've been sick for a month and just
didn't have the energy. They are a closed species, I offer customs, make your own tickets, and
I really need to work on more one off designs to sell as well. I've just been so tired

All those are fine modifications to make just so long as the original
design follows the guidelines!
I'd appreciate you taking the time to make sure to credit me, very kind. ^^

Im gonna be a nerd here just cause why not. Axoltols actually get bigger in small stagnant bodies of water. Pond/lake should be the largest river/stream the second largest (alot smaller tho then the pond/lake) and axoltols cant even live in the ocean because of the salt.But this is most likely more dragon then axoltol so the salt thing could slide.Im sorry im just a big animal nerd lol.

StoryShepherd In reply to Valleycreation [2018-04-29 05:44:43 +0000 UTC]
I did not know that they get larger in stagnant water! I actually did not
know that it affected their growth at all. I'm most familiar with pet axolotls
and not wild ones.
Oh and yeah no 100% salt would kill them, but I wanted there to be many
variations so I took some liberties what with them being fictional. My back story/
ridiculous fake science reasoning is that they slowly get acclimated to the salt by
moving through rivers down to the ocean and their skin hardens and becomes less
porous to protect themselves. Much like how they can take on more "dragon" forms
when drought occurs. In the lore even most die before transitioning into ocean types
which is why the occurrence is so rare.
I really wish I wasn't so depressed so I had the time to flesh out and draw all of my
ideas for these guys :/

aww thats really sad i would love to see more lore to these guys.I like specultive evolution where you basically guess what evolution could do in a certain situations,when making a ocean living amphibian i usually make them have a layer of cells on thier bodies to make sure salt cant get in but water can.

Oh my gosh, I adore these guys! I actually found them while doing a project on the axolotl, haha.
Would you be willing to do an art trade for a custom design?

Thank you!! Sounds like a fun project c:
Ahhh I'm really picky with art and I don't really have anyone in particular I want drawn rn. I'm also having just the worst time with digital art right now so it'd take a real good bribe for me to tackle that right now. Maybe in the future when I've gotten my motivation back?

Ahhh! I might get a pet axolotls! So I must have a custom :0 how much are they/do you trade for them?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
StoryShepherd In reply to stiches-artist [2017-07-13 23:08:03 +0000 UTC]
Ah really?? Do you know what kind you might get?
Customs run at about $15 - 18 depending on complexity and if you want any special features that'd be a little extra as well. I don't usually do trades because I'm picky, but I'm always up to look at examples! I also accept some odd commodities ahaha like bones, dead animals, magic booster packs, art books, custom dolls and plushes, sculptures, and other oddities. Basically I love junk lmao

Excuse me, but are we allowed to design our own? Or can they only be obtained via other means? If so, what would a custom run?

StoryShepherd In reply to Saika1 [2016-10-06 01:21:20 +0000 UTC]
No I'm afraid this is a closed species which means you cannot make your own
I sometimes sell adopts and I do offer customs, prizes range from about $15 - $18 depending on complexity and rarity
I'm only offering customs on pond/lake ADs right now since I'm still fleshing out ideas for ocean and designer ADs

I make designs for sale sometimes, I pretty much always have customs open and I hold little contests sometimes where you can win free ones

Nice! I would totally get a custom but I'm broke.. Besides we probably need money to pay for appointments for my mom since she has skin cancer and lupis and many other things. But I thought this species concept was amazing and cute! Have a nice day.
