My idea for a creature-- Morra, a mole/human hybrid anthro.

None of this is plagarized, I honestly made it all up. If this creature already exists, or if something appears to be plagarized, please notify me so I can change it :twisted: .

Any suggestions would be nice, along with your opinions and comments .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Creature name: Morra

height: 10ft at birth, grow to 25-75 feet, usually. (height is pretty varied)

weight: ranges from 1000-3500 pounds.

(if someone could provide me those two characteristics in metrics, it would be appreciated)

Appearance: Like a human, but with thick mole legs below their knees, and furred/clawed arms past their elbows. Usually brown, but are sometimes burgundy or reddish. The also have slightly pointed faces, but are humanoid otherwise.

Bio: They seem to have sprung up recently, and little is known of them, but they posess the ability to dig underground quickly and freely. They are biped (can walk on two legs), and are known for suddenly bursting out of the ground, snatching up people to eat, and disappearing back below the surface, with little trace of their appearance. They can slow their digestion when needed, for example, when they are taking a person back to their lair to be regurgitated. Their constant digging leaves them with little or no body fat, usually. Most sighted Morras are female, though some males do exist, as reported by the few who can survive a mora attack. They reproduce with eggs, and they usually gain the ability to hunt by their second year of living. They grow until they reach 25 years of age, at which point they will have reached their maximum height. Due to their size and abilities, they are incredibly strong, despite their somewhat lack of muscles. They can also hold a large amount of matter in their cheeks, though this isn't how they prefer to hold things.

Since the Morra spend most of their time underground, they rarely run into other intelligent life. Even when they resurface, it is only for a moment to grab whatever humans are nearby. Since they are fairly new to Felarya, they haven't gotten a chance to get accquainted with other races yet. They are also somewhat scarce, and you'd have to be lucky (and unlucky ) to actually run into one.

A quick question, if I may:

How does it interact with other predators? I hope it is not too hostile.

Good idea, I'll add that to the description .

Mhh I agree some burrowing creature can be a nice addition. Great job on designing these ! ^_^

Thanks

Okay, edited the article and added a poll. Now the Morra can hold large things in their cheeks.

Very nice work! I really like this idea!
I hope they aren't too common though! Sounds like they might be a real threat to some of the smaller races of Felarya!

Guess I forgot to mention that they are rare, I'l put that in.

Hmm... I give it the "Spyke's seal of approval" since I think it's a good idea. Don't get me wrong though, like many creations, it must go through the refining fire before it's fit for use I feel.

Thanks

Hm a Mole very interesting idea dood, the fact the hatch outta eggs is quite original for something derived from a mammal.

I figured that anything is possible in Felarya, really.

Sorry to nit-pick but both the Echidna (Spiney ant-eater) and the Duck-billed Platypus lay eggs and are mammals.

This just makes your creation more special in my eyes!

That's true

I like the idea of them laying eggs! It's very clever!
That would make them a very ancient race of beings. I like them more than ever!

Naw, it's not clever, I was practically rolling dice to decide whether they were laying eggs or not . Still, thanks for your opinion.

Mate, I already did something similar to this called Tunnel Terrors. Look em up.

Don't hesitate to post them as well

Who was that addressed to?

Well, to you

Look em up... but where?

Wha - guh - bu- *Gets angry and waves my fists* I POSTED A FULL LENGTH STORY ABOUT THEM ON MY D.A GALLERY DAMNIT >.< GAH

Oh, stories. Dangit.

Are you sure you know what I'm talking about? These tunnel terrors seem to be some kind of tailed creature.

Well, I believe I've read some of these stories.

I don't find it very bad if these creatures exist alongside the Tunnel Terrors. I mean, they can't be exactly the same.
