Mockerie point adopt

Description

Adopted by saignat!

So I decided to try to make an adoptable or two. This guy/gal is a little weird, and I'm kind of terrible at designs... but hopefully people will like them anyway? I got inspiration from the idea or raven mockers, but I can't quite call them that or even a mock raven. So, they are called Mockeries. (the singular being mockerie and not mockery)

100 :points: a fair price? Feel free to offer something if you can't pay that.

This is for the adoptable itself, not the whole species since I'll be making a couple more of these.

Mockerie Info || These strange creatures called mockeries are typically found in forested regions, though they have the capacity to survive almost anywhere. They are nomadic, however and because of this and the small number of them existing, they are hard to spot. They normally travel together in flocks of 3-6 of mixed sexes. When relaxed, they stand about 5 ft tall at the shoulders, but due to the nature of their limbs, they can be taller or shorter depending on the situation. The body itself only encompasses a fraction of that.

They are born without most of their limbs, though some are born with more of them and some are born with less. None have been seen to possess full limbs or limbs cut farther than the belly though and most are cut almost to the level of the rest of the body. To get around, instead of having real limbs they use a dark magic to manipulate their shadow. The shadowy magic swirls around their stubby limbs and then forms new ones to whatever shape is most convenient at the time, though typically they will be clawed hands or bird-like legs. Despite having a grasp of magic, the intelligence of mockeries is debated. Some are very animalistic, fleeing at the sight of larger creatures and going about their days without a single worry for lives aside from their own, while others are very smart, having a grasp on some human languages as well as a curiosity for the unknown. 

Though mostly naked, these creatures do have feathers of strange and often vibrant colors in two places. On their head is a crest that extends much like a peacock's tail, and on their tail they have slightly shorter feathers that can fan out to an extent to make them appear larger.  

Their heads are particularly interesting in that they have a sort of skull-like hard helmet of bone and tough skin and in the center of this is the strangest feature of these creatures. These creatures possess a third eye that is rarely opened save for certain situations. When opened, they can channel some of their magic into it to cause a hypnotic effect to lull the viewer of it into whatever the creature wants. This in combination with their feathers is used in a sort of dance for both mating rituals and hunting.

"I'm terrible at design"

*Designs incredibly original and detailed concept*
