Lauren's Entry: The Nundu, Abada Added!

Post by Lauren »

Nundu

Egg:
A spotted tail curls protectivly around this egg.
Description- A yellowish/tanish egg covered with black spots and a tail with the same design curled around it.

Hatchling:
A cub which seems to resemble a jaguar has hatched from this egg. Instantly the cub growls, letting you know its hungry, and you bring it a piece of steak which it swallows whole. After feeding it a few more peices, the cub seems satisfied and falls soundly asleep in your lap. A few weeks have passed and all your cub seems to do is eat and sleep, while at the size of your dinner table.
Description- A cub that looks like a jaguar curled up and sleeping.

Adult:
The adorable cub you once came to know is now a ferocious audult. At the size of a horse, the strength of an elephant, and the speed of a cheetah, your Nundu has become extremely dangerous. Most of the time you find your Nundu sleeping during the day or hunting at night, for they are nocturnal. Their hunting skills are incredible, they use their claws, teeth, and speed to kill their prey but most often they use a weapon more deadly then any of these put together. A Nundu's breath is incredibly poisonous, and can knock you out cold for hours. Fortunatly, Nundu's can control the poison and they only use it if they are threatened or hunting. Nundu's are also very loyal creatures, if they are treated well by their master they would do anything to protect them, including risking their lives.
Descriptioin- A Jaguar, looking maybe a little more fierce, as for the pose you could to it pouncing, crouching down, walking, or sleeping.

General:
The Nundu is a rare and stunning beast. They seem to resemble the typical jaguar, though stronger, faster, and larger. Nundu's are known for their remarkable strength, speed, aswell as their claws, teeth, and the most dangerous, their breath. Nundu's also have incredibly valuable fur, and because of this, they are hunted often and are at numbers as low as 500 out in the wild. Even though it would take 20 Magi to take on one, the prize of their fur is too hard to resist. In the wild Nundu's are known as King of the Jungle, they are fierce, merciless, and are one of the strongest beasts out there. Nundu's are also very good, protective mothers, and they stay with their child until it is fully grown. Nundu's have only one child at a time, and while the child stays, the mothers teach them everything they need to know. A Nundu in your Keep is a great prize, and if you treat it with respect, you have a loyal parnter for a lifetime.

Abada

Egg:
Two white crooked horns stick out from this deep brown egg.
Description: A brown egg with 2 white horns sticking out, the horns should be crooked.

Hatchling:
A beautiful foal with a boar's tail has hatched from your egg. Looking around the little foal sighs and stands up. Wobbling, it comes forward to greet you and then you notice the two horns sticking out of its head. Both of its horns are crooked and are on either side of the pretty white diamond on the foals forehead. Shocked you reach out to try and touch the horns but the foal shrieks and runs away. You try to creep closer but the foal keeps moving away from you. Giving up you sit down in the grass and watch the strange little foal. Your foal is about the size of an adult cat and a chocolate brown with a black mane, and a boars tail. Despite the size, tail and the two horns, it looks just like a horse.
Description: A brown foal with a black mane and tail, a boars tail, and 2 crooked white horns on either side of the abada's forehead. It's forehead should have a white star in the middle of the 2 horns.

Adult:
Your foal has grown into a majestic adult, although only the size of a donkey, you Abada is more beautiful then any creature you've ever seen. Often you see your Abada grazing or romping with Unicorns and Pegasi. As you have observed your Abada for years now, you have reconized its graceful and swift gallop and its shy, peaceful personality. Although your Abada is not very brave or strong it is a loyal to you and it has a rare magical abilities where it can grant wishes, though only if they are thoughtful, kind, and is good for everyone.
Description:Just like the foal except grown up. Have it standing or galloping.

General:
Abada's are rare creatures found in the Silva Forest. Abada's are cousins to the Pegasus and the Horse, and are like Sisters to the Unicorns. Their two crooked horns is what most people reconize them for, but other significent marks are their tail, which is like a boars, their size, which is of a donkey, and their coloring, which is always a deep brown with a black mane. Shy yet peaceful these creatures are very hard to spot out in the wilderness. They will try to prevent fights as much as possible, and will only harm someone if they are threatened. In the Keep Abada's are much of fighters but their horns are useful as they can be turned into potions where they will heal poisons, and for kind, warm-hearted masters, they have the ability to grant un-selfish wishes.

Those are my 2 entries, please tell me what you think and feel free to give ideas/suggestions. And please to point out and miss-spellings, grammer, ect. Thanks much!

Cool idea ^^
I like the descriptions, they make it seem as though you are actually seeing the Nundu in front of you.

interesting. though regular jaguars are already almost the size of lions (i think), perhaps a unique color scheme might go further to making this creature a magianimal

but thats just me, i'm a sucker for colors XD

I think I'm going to keep the color the same as the jaguar, as then it would be just like how the person who created the nundu created it. Thanks for the suggestions though :D
