My original species: The Kenchi
CLOSED SPECIES
The Kenchi is a cross between Kitsune/Dragon/Kirin.

*Warm colored

Females-
*Cool Colored
*More Feminine and smaller
Environment-
They can only live in cooler places, such as mountains or arctic areas.
Diet:
Kenchi mainly eat LARGE mammals and fish species. They are omnivorous and will eat most types of plants though any type of fern can potentially kill them.
Behavior:
Kenchi very rarely form packs, they are a solitary species and will generally keep to themselves. Unless there is very harsh weather or it's breeding season (Early spring-Late Summer) will they permit the company of others. This is where they act like deer in a way, the males will fight for 'herds' of 2-3 females and will breed the three.. Once the Pae are born the males will leave the females to patrol the small temporary territory to keep other males from killing their spawn. Then after the Paes reach a month old the male will split off completely and the females will be left to raise them until a year old. Where they are ready to spring into adulthood and hunt for themselves.
Life Expectancy:
1-1000 years. Since the Kenchi are mythical beings they generally live long lives unless something kills them, which is VERY difficult unless it's another Kenchi.
