Novascale
Novascale is the only known species of its type. They are large animals with iridescent blue scales and purple eyes. While they can be seen traveling to many places on Azlov, they are only born on Novascale Island.
There aren't any known varieties of this species. Novascales are currently listed as Near Threatened due to the likely risk of extinction in the future. Their habitat, an island, is gradually eroding away due to powerful ocean currents and severe storms. This erosion poses a serious threat to the survival of the Novascales, making their future uncertain unless conservation efforts are implemented.
Basic Information
Anatomy
These creatures, like all amphitheres, possess an elongated serpentine body similar to that of a snake, lacking legs or arms, and are equipped with two or more wings.
Novascales have wings that are nearly as long as their bodies, making them capable of impressive aerial feats and long flight travel.
Ecology and Habitats
Novascale amphitheres are only native to the Novascale Island, though they do travel elsewhere and can be seen as far as Ardenfell and Arkynshire.
Biological Cycle
Similar to snakes, novascale amphitheres undergo a process called molting, during which they shed their outer skin or epidermis. This allows them to grow as well as remove any parasites or old, damaged skin. In order to molt properly, novascales require a humid environment that provides adequate moisture to facilitate the shedding of their skin. This process is crucial for the health and well-being of novascale amphitheres, allowing them to maintain their sleek, healthy appearance and overall vitality.
