CRYNNEA

OVERVIEW

Crynnea [Cry-ney-yah] (Singular: Crynnea) (adj. Crynnean) are a hybrid species produced by a Gannea sire and a Crysalla dam. The Gannea sire can be male or neutral sexed.

  • Crynnea are rather rare in society– as it wasn’t always commonly known that Crysalla and Gannea could reproduce together.
  • Crynnea are crepescular.
  • Crynnea possess a Soul Stone on their chests, inherited by their Crysalla parent.
  • Crynnea are omnivorous.
  • Crynnea are mesotherms.
  • Crynnea hatch from eggs, in their draconian forms.
  • Crynnea display any Crysalla or Gannean traits and mutations.
  • Crynnea have one hermaphroditic sex, with internal gonads and a cloaca, reproduce via penetration, and lay a clutch of one egg after a gestation period of 100 years.

ANATOMY

Crynnea have two forms, their Draconian form and their Bipedal form, with the ability to shift between them with ease.

Draconian Forms

Crynnea naturally have four legs and two wings, with a Soul Stone on their chests, but their anatomy varies greatly by subtype.

  • Crynnea have a toothless, jagged beak, two ears, and four pure white superposition compound eyes.
  • Crynnea inherit their wings from their Crysallan dam– and will display any of the Crysalla wing types.
  • Crynnea inherit their body subtype from their Crysalla dam– and will display any of the three subtypes of Crysalla.
  • Crynnea are categorized by their Crysallan subtype.

standard Crynnea
  • Thick, muscular, sturdy bodies. Large front legs, straight back, thin hind legs, and stiff tail. These Crynnea are built for strength, and aren’t very flexible.
  • May survive without water for up to 10 days, and up to 5 weeks without eating.

serpentine Crynnea
  • Long, elongated and flexible bodies. Smaller front legs, curving back, thin hind legs, and flexible tail. These Crynnea are built for speed, and are taller and longer than the standard of the same age.
  • May survive without water for up to 10 days, and up to 3 weeks without eating.

Dwarf Crynnea
  • Small, thick, and fat bodies. Thicker legs, short back, and fat deposits in the tail. Smallest Crynnea, and often mistaken for youth. Not to be confused with achondroplasia.
  • May survive without water for up to 20 days, and without eating for 15 weeks, relying on metabolizing fat stores.

Bipedal Forms

Crynnea come in three distinct subtypes; Standard, Serpentine, and Dwarf.

Crynnea are capable of shifting between their draconian and bipedal forms naturally, although it expends energy. Shifting frequently will make a Crynnea very hungry, as it burns calories fast. Crynnea mostly use their bipedal form for fine motor tasks that require the use of their hands. Crynnea do not have breasts or a belly button.

Crynnea are capable of “tucking” their wings into their bodies within their bipedal form, for the ease of maneuvering in tight quarters.

Crynnea wing membranes in their bipedal form only extend to the end of their spine, to allow for clothing. They have long slits in the back of their clothes for their wings to push through. Crynnea have avian scapulae to allow for the wing bones to attach to the musculoskeletal structure, not human shoulder blades!

body subtypes

Standard
  • Thick, muscular, sturdy bodies. Large forearms, straight back, thin hind legs, and stiff tail. These Crynnea have an abdominal and limb fat distribution pattern. These Crynnea are built for strength, and aren’t very flexible.
serpentine
  • Long, elongated and flexible bodies. Smaller forearms, thin legs, and flexible tail. These Crynnea have an hourglass fat distribution pattern. These Crynnea are built for speed, and are taller than the standard of the same age.
dwarf
  • Small, thick, and fat bodies. Thicker limbs, short stature, and fat deposits in the tail. These Crynnea have an even fat distribution pattern throughout their body. Smallest Crynnea, and often mistaken for youth. These Crynnea are built for going long periods of time without eating. *Not to be confused with achondroplasia.

aging and growth

Crynnea can live up to 5,000 years. Crynnea age rapidly and then slow down past 250. 1 human year = 50 Ganalla years.

  • Crynnea age/50 = human equivalent (Ex. 3000/50= 60 human years).
  • Crynnea come of age at 200 years (equivalent 20 human years).
  • Crynnea’s maximum height in bipedal form is 10’, and maximum height in draconic form at the shoulder is 20’.
