Acidified Lepiotecorax

From the Greek: λέπιο (lepio) means "scales" and Hungarian: tekercs means "roll" or "inductor", due to have enough the force depending on rolling causing a friction. From the first word "suvrri", an accusative word from Northern Sami: "suvri" means "acid".

• Singular: Lepiotecorax

• Plural: Lepiotecoraxes

The Acidified Lepiotecorax is a rare species of the Lepiotecorax that evolved from normal Lepiotecorax into paler and darker scales of keratin, grayish light yellow fur, burnt peach skin, gray claws, and a stinger unchanged. It possesses an extremely long, chameleon-like tongue that is covered in sticky saliva.

The Lepiotecorax can roll or curl into a ball, or it can roll on its own like a wheel. Only arrows can break through the hardened keratin scales, which are impervious to bullets. Because of its defense, it is practically impervious to predators like dogs and jaguars. Lepiotecorax totally curls up, exposing its fur, when it feels threatened. It can remain in this position for extended periods of time until the threat passes. The only thing that protects their fur from attacks is cold.

The Lepiotecorax can excavate termite mounds and build deep burrows because to its strong claws. The Lepiotecorax, which resembled muck-like little anteaters, was a skilled climber and used its prehensile tail to balance in trees or larger rod-shaped rocks. Both Lepiotecorax species had weak vision but a keen sense of smell, which allowed them to find underground insect nests. Despite having no teeth, the Lepiotecorax uses pebbles it consumes to aid in the grinding of food in its stomach.

To catch termites and ants, both species of Lepiotecorax have an incredibly long, sticky tongue (up to 3 meters). Similar to a chameleon, the Lepiotecorax may fire its tongue to capture termites, ants, beetles, and larvae. Its teeth were either nonexistent or reduced, and its keen sense of smell allowed it to find insects underneath or above. Both species of Lepiotecorax may roll into a ball; scales act like armor, and they emit foul-smelling fluids from anal glands when threatened.

The Acidified Lepiotecorax was immune to acidic conditions due to their higher survival than the fittest. Their tail was indestructible with acid. When covered in the acidic crystals, its tail is heavier, and the acid on its tail is highly corrosive and can cause sundering or acidification on contact, leaving a hole that it pierces to a body. The Acidified Lepiotecorax manipulates acid breath. It is able to grow sulfurous crystals on its tail that create acidic mist when shattered, perhaps because of its habitat choice. It is known to pull prey, go toward its mouth using its long tongue, and inflict acidification using a foul odor covered in sticky saliva.

Unlike their normal counterparts, the Acidified Lepiotecorax is able to grow sulfurous crystals on its tail near the tailpin that create acidic mist when shattered, perhaps because of its habitat choice. The Acidified Lepiotecorax need to keep their skin moist to dry, so their habitable range is very limited to the disgusted lands.

The Acidified Lepiotecorax are primarily cave-dwelling predators that ambush their prey from the darkness in the more extreme graveyard vale biome, a naturally decayed biome with a fleshy infection and a red to yellow gore theme with some fungus growing for nutrients. However, the metatherian will venture out of cave systems to search for prey. Possibly helps the creature to retain heat in the cold night and to release it in the hot day, and can also serve as camouflage in the rocky parts of the desert when outside, despite being a cave dweller. In contrast to their cousin of clean, the Suvrri Lepiotecorax can fart or sweat that is active from its forcibly pulsed heart, breathe freezing air and rain down acidic crystals, summon paralyzed bolts, spray effluvium fluid, and inundate its body with decayed aura energy.

The Acidified Lepiotecorax feeds on insects and roots, much like armadillos. Their favorite prey are bugs, carcasses, and even fungi with special long tongues, found in pangolins. Thus far, the only known creatures that could potentially feed on an Acidified Lepiotecorax include larger animals and extraterrestrials. The mammal will utilize their acidic tail, like a syringe, for tearing metal or flesh and odorizing them.

Reproduction

Breeding season:

• Typically between April and August.

• Gestation: ~5 months (about 150 days)

• Litter size: Usually 1 pup (rarely 2–3).

Birth:

• Newborn animals are about 50 cm long, soft-scaled at birth.

• Scales harden within a few weeks.

Parental care:

• Mother nurses the young for ~7 months.

• Pups ride on the mother’s tail or back when moving.

Maturity:

• Reaches sexual maturity around 5 years old.

Due to living in the hostile Seoghoun-gyegag Caverns and other lower, inhospitable habitat caverns, the Acidified Lepiotecorax are very aggressive towards whatever they may come across. Oddly enough, there are no records of Acidified Lepiotecorax being scavengers but hunting other inhabitants of these regions above and below.

The Acidified Lepiotecorax was a native species of the Eastern Continent in Everrealm. Its habitat consists of underground natural graveyards known as Graveyard Valley and other locations close to soils that are rich in termites or ants. This species has a temperate climate, but because it has scales, fur, and sweat glands, it can survive in both hot and cold climates. Elevations ranging from lowland plains to 2,000 meters (6,600 feet) above sea level to 500 feet below sea level are home to this species. Nyeakkan, which means "saint's field" in their own tongue, is the earliest known natural ecoregion in Everrealm. It was formerly an endemic area of this species until spreading throughout the region where the same biome exists.

Since the Acidified Lepiotecorax is a species from the Everrealm and has only been documented from Mesopotamia until the Renaissance, it was introduced by the First Civilization race during prehistoric times and was found in some parts of Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceania. It inhabited "Graveyard Valley" and other settings and climates similar to those of the Everrealm. One of the few extant metatherians that may have been introduced outside of the Americas by the First Civilization race is the Acidified Lepiotecorax and its cousins.

Reinachos, an exoplanet from Cygnus, received the Acidified Lepiotecorax from the Sky People or Terrans in the 2600s. It was therefore incorporated into de-extinction and rewilding efforts to relocate it to a planet that resembled Earth, where it now shared habitats and climates with both Earth and Everrealm. The Acidified Lepiotecorax was found in the Seoghoun-gyegag Caverns (Korean: 썩은 계곡, "sseog-eun gyegog"; Catalan: Sog-un-gyecoca Cova; Yoruba: Soghun-gyẹgok Iho-ilẹ), a unique environment beneath the surface of the Lighruperisal continent of Reinachos. There, it shared the same habitat and climate as the biome of Everrealm.

Golden Horde - 13th Century

In the 13th century when Mongols arrive to Europe, the Hungarians and others discovered this "scaly beast" in this country and to Croatia.

Worldcraft series - 3000-3020 AD

The Acidified Lepiotecorax was frequently employed as a guard with a rider and modified saddles to prevent injury to the rider, as well as a particular armor to roll itself, which the rider covered and closed when rolling and crushing foes or accidentally impaling and poisoning the enemy. The Terrans can swiftly adapt the techniques of unique saddles in Reinachos via the manuscripts found in Everrealm, but this mammal was never to be utilized again.
