Scarred Willows

"Ah, the Realm Searcher's best friend..."  Egerent, Master Realm Searcher. 

Basic Information

Anatomy

These animals have a relation to oozes, that being that their bottom half is made of ounce slime. Their top half is made of a type of wood for a face, and fur for their tails. They are small, about Jack Russell sized.

Genetics and Reproduction

Scarred Willows often split into two smaller ones that will then grow up and split etc. etc. at the age of 200.

Growth Rate & Stages

The only difference is the slime colour and the size when comparing a baby to a nearly fully grown on. Babies start with blue slime, and fully grown ones end up with pink slime.

Ecology and Habitats

They usually prefer places with trees or some manner of vegetation. It will then advance in various stealth tactics in order to get prey.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Ir requires both meat and grass once a week in order to sustain a healthy diet. In the wild they usually eat leaves, which aren't as healthy as grass but will get the job done. They usually begin conserving food stores at the age of 103, after they have exited hibernation. They spend 97 years preparing for their "children".

Biological Cycle

At the age of 100, Scarred Willows go into a sleep for about 3 years. At the age of 150, they should have grown their pink slime. If they live in super hot places, they will shed their slime and reverse their colour change, heading back to blue,

Additional Information

Domestication

The owner simply needs to show that they are not a threat to each other, and that the owner will take care of the Scarred Willow and its descendants (if the owner can). The Willow will establish a link that shows what the owner is thinking, though only a few know of this.
