Adult Male
Name: unnamed
Species: Adelpha Papio
Birthday: Thursday, June 1, 2017
Owner: Rosehill
Element: Neutral 
Adult papio often look larger than they are, mostly due to their thick fur, especially around their heads. An adelpha adult can easily sit on a magi's shoulder - and enjoy doing so in order to comb through their hair - but they can also be easily startled and will fly to the nearest high spot. When relaxed, they're friendly creatures who spend a lot of time with family members, grooming each other and playing. They also seem to enjoy playing in mud puddles and some magi have observed that they appear to have a sense of humour, often laughing at funny things and sharing what appear to be in-jokes among family members.
Adelpha papio live mostly in dry southern climates, where their brown and yellow colouring helps them blend in, especially in the oak forests where they make their homes. More common than their polyura cousins, they're curious but flighty creatures, who enjoy watching new things but will often fly away if approached. Papio are rarely found alone, instead choosing to live in troops of various sizes, led by an adult female. Within these troops, they often communicate in a sign language that magi don't really understand, which can differ through different family groups.
