[X] That Cousin Wot Doesn't Get Invited to the Reunion No More
-Centauroid
-Draconic (Crocodile)
-Trait 1: Cold-Adapted (Free)
-Trait 2: Magnetoreceptive (-1)
-Trait 3: Muscular (-2)
-Trait 4: Obligate Carnivore (+1)
-Trait 5: Spiritual Senses (-2)
-Trait 6: Inefficient Metabolism (+1)
-Hex: 453

Most reptiles reside in toasty northern environs, but not all. The frigid islands of the south host an apex predator, a deadly wanderer: Killer Croc. Their insatiable appetite frequently forces them into conflict with other large carnivores such as bears or their own kind. Muscles and desperation make them a dangerous enemy.

(these fellas will either become some kind of cool seafaring mystic pirates or starve to death immediately. max calorie burn.)

Oh don't worry, with this vote there will be more of our friends, this be a Riot Quest, all votes getting in. But thank you for the vote as this will make more of my little ones around.
 
I don't know if I'm currently, yk, consistently big brained enough for this. However, I did think up some hermaphroditic gliding merfolk while reading through the trait list. If anyone likes that concept then please go forth and prosper.
 
[X] Wise Old Snakes
-[X] Centauroid (3 Points, 6 Traits Max)
-[X] Draconic (along the lines of the XCOM 2 snakes)
-[X] Cold Adapted (Free)
-[X] Intuitive
-[X] Long Lived
-[X] Prehensile Tail
-[X] Obligate Carnivore
-[X] Magically Inert
-[X] Hex: 429

Found primarily around the eastern boreal clime, these armed snakes have come out rather unlucky from an evolutionary standpoint: being obligate carnivores with high caloric requirements yet lacking strong muscles to strike with, keen senses to track with, a hardy constitution to scavenge, or any magical sensitivity to bend the laws of the world. Necessity, then, pushed their ancestors into the role of ambush hunters, launching surprise strikes in hopes of making their first attack the last. It was not long before they were crafting and wielding primitive tools to make their hunts more successful, and then rapidly advanced as their long lives gave those elders who had managed to thrive ample time to teach the next generation.

[X] Curious Explorers
-[X] Humanoid
-[X] Aquatic
-[X] Winged
-[X] Keen Senses
-[X] Inefficient Metabolism
-[X] Hex: 246

These lithe Explorers have developed the ability to range freely through both the sky and the sea. Their batlike/raylike wings propel them through the sea and over the nearby coastline. They usually live in medium sized groups, which split into smaller Hunting/Gathering parties for weeks at a time to secure sufficient food for the whole gathering. Though they are capable of tool use, they almost always travel light and only settle down long enough for more heavyweight developments in times and places of huge plenty.

-[X] Aquatic

-[X] Intuitive

-[X] Obligate Carnivore
-[X] Short Lives
-[X] Hex: 476

3 points+1 (carnivore)+1 (Short Lives) -1 (keen senses)-2 (intuitive)-2 (Efficient Metabolism)

Would have been easier if every negative trait gave the same amount of points as it's opposite did, but I think I got a decent race out of this that encapsulates what I want here.

Wingless Dragons with the lower body of a snake that spend most of their live as jaguar sized ambush predator with powerful natural magic like fire breath or electric fangs before having a massive growth spurt at sexual maturity and ravenging the countryside collecting bones or treasure to attract a mate

While most don't survive this stage either depleting the countryside or being slain those that do produce enough offspring to compensate and accumulate great magical power through trial by combat and their long live and are as willing to bargain with that Magic as the are to take.

Yeah I think it's better to just gamble on the Lotus people, Random traits will make a fun creature especially when paired by centauroid.

[x] Would You Still Love Me If I Was A Worm?
-Frame: Centauroid
-Genus: Draconic (caecilians)
-Trait0: Heat-Adapted [Free]
-Trait1: Autotrophic [-3]
-Trait2: Parthenogenetic [-1]
-Trait3: Short-Lived [+1]
-Hex: 148

Description: Camoflauged caecilians that live under the desert sands, presumably with some variety of prehensile tentacle limbs. Live off sunlight and air, burrowing for water. Grow longer all their lives; reproduce when approaching a certain length by literally splitting in half, creating two new worm-people (through each half regenerating the bit they lost).

[x] Stranger Danger Noodle
-[x] Frame: Centauroid
-[x] Genus: Draconic (snek)
-[x] Free Trait: Heat Adapted
-[x] Trait 1: Giant
-[x] Trait 2: Muscular
-[x] Trait 3: Obligate Carnivore
-[x] Trait 4: Prehensile Tail
-[x] Hex: 28

A humanoid body attached at the waist to a snake. Not a snake tail, a snake. It's like a unicorn if the horn was the upper half of a humanoid body and the horse was a snake. Unlike most Centauroid beings, this humanoid body is a decoy, and from a strictly cladistic standpoint they may not qualify as Centauroid at all. Their primary hunting strategy is to hide the snake underwater or in the underbrush and use the humanoid to lure humanoids or other animals that eat humanoids, though they also supplement their diet with fish. Needing to convincingly imitate humanoids has left them surprisingly social, and they're perfectly capable of communicating and cooperating with their nominal prey provided they don't get hungry enough to reconsider the arrangement. They are, however, still mostly solitary by default and only rarely form anything that could be considered a community by more than the loosest definitions. Finding enough food for a group can be a considerable challenge.

[x] Lamia
-Frame: Centauroid
-Genus: Draconic (Snake, specifically snake tail with a feminine upper body)
-Trait 1: Heat Adapted (Free)
-Trait 2: Parthenogenetic (Primary and only means of reproduction, eggs tended by dedicated caretakers)
-Trait 3: Strong Constitution
-Trait 4: Magnetoreceptive
-Trait 5: Magically Inert
-Hex: 136

Natives to the warm steppe, Lamia are boisterous and social to a fault. They vary in exactly how reptilian their upper bodies are, with some beeing covered entirely in scales and some being very nearly human. The tail is a constant though, with a great variety of scale colours.

Lamia tend to form tight-knit lineages based on shared interests in place of a traditional family unit, but these groups can be solitary and tend to organize only chaotically at higher levels. Lamia are "born from the stone" and raised in nurseries that form the centre of any given lamia community.

[X] The Cooler Lamia
-[X] Centauroid
-[X] Draconic (Feminine upper body, Serpent lower body)
-[X] Cold Adapted (Free)
-[X] Magically Inert (Gives 1)
-[X] Parthenogenetic (Costs 1) (Reproduces Asexually, laying eggs tended by a caretaker caste)
-[X] Magnetoreceptice (Costs 1)
-[X] Strong Constitution (Costs 2)
-[X] Hex: 470

Having created the other snakes, The Great Being That Created The Snakes noticed one glaring flaw in their snake-creation plan. They didn't live far enough south. Thus, these creatures were created, and given dominion of all the places of cold the earth where less perfect serpents feared to slither. Thus it is written.

[x] Boundless Kobolds
-Frame: Humanoid
-Genus: Draconic (Reptilian Little Guys)
-Free Trait (Draconic): Cold Adapted
-Trait 1: Small
-Trait 2: Prolific
-Trait 3: Short Lives
-Trait 4: Parthenogenetic
-Hex: 279

These small reptiles with shiny scales and cozy manes of fuzzy down scamper in teeming squirming hosts across deep valleys and atop frigid heights. Bundled together, tails entwined, even in the cool lands that sustain them so well. Their numbers grow in waves as every Kobold can lay their own self-fertilized egg. Protecting these clutches each season and providing for their broods and themselves often consume the short lives they live. Yet, they never lack for company and in such numbers find their cooperation in hunting, gathering, and all other tasks can bridge any gap in their individual abilities.
 
[X] Medusans
- [X] Centauroid(6, 3 trait points)
- [X] Aquatic (Free water breathing)
- [x] Parthenogenetic (-1)
- [x] Prolific (-2)
- [X] Telepathic (-3)
- [X] Short Lives (+1)
- [X] Delicate (+1)
- [X]Herbivorous (+1)
- [X] Hex: 481

Noted primarily for their unusual lifecycle, Medusans reproduce both sexual and asexually. The offspring of sexual reproduction becomes a sessile, filterfeeding monolith, which in turn spends it's entire lifespan releasing mobile Medusans.

Vote 1: Voting Heads Up
  • Informational
    • oh just as a heads up:

    I'm not checking the viability of each vote right now. I'm only checking if votes are properly formatted after the vote closes.

    If your vote isn't viable, I'll count it as a vote towards a viable vote in the same Frame/Genus with the most similar Trait suite and location.

    The only exception is that if you don't put a Hex in your vote, I'll just put them somewhere that feels appropriate.
