Someone might mistake these creatures for horses, if they were blind. While they might be of the Equine family, they most definitely do not resemble those of genetic similarity towards them. In fact they are so different they might be classified in their own species in and of itself. One of the first things you might notice is the two large, bat-like wings which come from their back. From a distance you might even confuse these creatures with a regular horse with wings; however it is not till you look closer that you see their malformations. Once you look closer you can see the grotesque form they have taken on, and one might shudder at their disgusting outlook.
Found mainly in the Evus forest, they live near a spring which comes up from a Etherium deposit, and because of this they are extremely addicted to the substance. Due to the fact that they will go for many days without eating, and will depend solely on the Etherium enriched water to keep them fueled, these creatures have an incredibly gaunt look to them. While they eat enough to retain muscle, and maintain the ability to fly their skin has almost no elasticity, and they seem to be little more than bones.
What some people might never notice about these creatures; however is that their completely white eye will glow when it becomes dark. They are able to see through sonar ability, similar to a bat, but the eyes still glow. Their hair is hollow, and also is bioluminescent so it glows in the dark as well. Few people ever see these creatures, and most are afraid of them, but they are quite gentle creatures, and look quite spectacular under the right light.
Research Notes:
- Most live around a small spring amidst the Evus forest.
- Almost all are docile, and only attack small rodents, and dogs
-Mainly eat meat, when they eat including many of the small game in the forests of Aiaru
-Can fly for quite some time without the need to stop
