Blackslate Anchavalio (Lupantechinus negrus) is the fictional species of antechinus introduced in Weather Dragons.

Etymology

Anchavalio is the anglicization word from Eastern Arrernte: Antyewelye, is the form as antyame akngwelye, which means swag dingo.

Physical Appearance

Blackslate Anchavalio was different from the normal or Ashen Anchavalio; their fur was pitch black and had blackish gray skin, even gray-edged spikes.

Abilities

Blackslate Anchavalio enhanced itself while enraged, unleashing the dark particles on the entire body to enhance the darker element causing darkness.

Ecology

The timing of the breeding season differs between species and also with the location of populations. The breeding season from July to September and moving to the south in late January through March. Anchavalios are pregnant for about 63 days and usually birth four to six pups, and like their ancestors, do not have a complete pouch as in other marsupials but simply a flap of skin covering the teats.


Both older male or elder female die-off occurs because of an increase in free corticosteroids in the blood from the birth. Much like antechinuses, torpor is periodic lowering of body temperature and metabolic rate to reduce energy consumption in their own dens.


Native or introduced predators also threaten Anchavalio populations with foxes, wolves, tigers, cougars, lynxes, baboons, sea lions, dolphins and cats predating upon Anchavalios. Indeed all species of Anchavalios are habitat destruction and competing with both native species, introduced species or invasive characters.

Behavior

Like the other Anchavalio, this animal was very careful and violent in the sense of natural behavior. Blackslate Anchavalio was different from any of the ancestors, the antechinus.

Distribution and Habitat

Blackslate Anchavalio was native to the unknown regions of Sawintir and Earth. It was reported that the animal was found in Switzerland and Tunisia as well.
