Nolumoth

The Nolumoth is a medium-large wyvern creature, sporting many adorned fins/frills along its body. The most prominent set are found near the base of its head, which constantly move and twitch to sense its surroundings. The Nolumoth also supports long, thin whiskers found on the base of its chin, back, and also adorned on one of its head frills. This creature is seemingly eyeless, however has a keen sense of smell and sense thanks to its large nostrils and whiskers. This creature, despite having rather large wings, can't support controlled flight and thus resorted to gliding through the skies. The Nolumoth's colors range between deep greens, pale yellows, and hints of black.

• Nolumoths live in warm areas in general, especially green areas, mountainous areas, or open plains.
• Nolumoths like to hide by trying to mimic themselves as plants, hiding their bare areas and making their whiskers look like plants. One exception to this is when Nolumoth try to find a fancy partner. They will put on a chirpy display and splay out their whiskers and all their extravagant and impressive features to make them look big and a good candidate, despite being a blind creature; using the numerous sensory whisker areas around their bodies to sense things easily, especially micro movements and smells.
• Nolumoths, despite their jaws and claws, are very scattery creatures and do not hunt often, mainly scavengers. Nolumoth also produce (albeit not enough) of their food from their lattice-like frill structures, which contain chloroplasts. Their green colors come from the chloroplasts in their frills and the color distributes along the body, more vibrant greens can be seen in those areas. These frills also contain toxins, which when the Nolumoth feels threatened are released and used for defense. The plural of Nolumoth is "Nolumae", while a group or family of Nolumae is called a "winnow."

• Original and redesign concept art by vetris/undeary. The redesign was inspired of Venus fly-traps, Ikran from Avatar, and the original concept of Nolumoth.
• Modeled by NauticaElurra.
• Undeary, the creator of the concepts, stated in a Wiki comment "The plural of Nolumoth is called a 'Nolumae', while a group or family of Nolumae is called 'a winnow'!"
• Nolumoth has pink blood. While in real life purple-violet blood exists due to hemerythrin — a respiratory pigment of a purplish/violet color once oxygenated, which replaces hemoglobin in several invertebrates — this specific shade of pink is actually seen commonly in some vertebrates (including humans) suffering from some blood problems. The most likely reason is because of its inspiration, being some kind of sap.
• There is a current bug that transforms the color orange or related bright colors into Nolumoth's default Green, except for other colors
