Plumis Draconis Civex, aka The Featherhorns

Large, long creatures, they never stop growing throughout their lifetime, only becoming stronger - but more lethargic. They are considered adults once they reach lengths of upwards of 30 feet, and by this time are covered in natural, scale like armor, and have an exoskeleton tougher than an iron clad beetles - not even a diamond tipped drill can pierce it.

They have a giant, pincer like tail, six legs and two five fingered arms, four fingers manipulatory and a long middle finger acting as a giant natural switchblade-like appendage.

They have spines on their faces, large exoskeletal horns and giant decorative feather like protrusions from nearby their four eyes in each side of their face, one main one and three smaller ones per side. They also have long antennae used for sensing their environment, even in pitch black.

They can go fairly fast, and have quick reaction time, and have large wings upon their back, similar to a dragonfly. (While I would love to make them able to fly like true dragons, perhaps just short bursts, similar to what grasshoppers do when you startle them up out of the grass).

They also have the ability to lower their mouth plate, revealing their true mouth and mouth-arms, and spit a large amount of webbing that they then can conduct bio electric shocks through.

Their large size means they need a decent amount of food, else they go into a hibernating state, and if they are woken up and there is no food nearby they are destructive and very hangry

They are largely jungle inhabitants, and fare poorly in colder climates. Their society is divided into four based on the time of day they are most active, and this also determines their color. Dawn Featherhorns are Sky blue with white underbelly and patterning and white feathers that can glisten rainbow, Day Featherhorns are largely green with brown underbelly and patterning, whit orange, yellow, or red feathers with brown or black dots, Dusk Featherhorns are Sunset Orange with a deeper red underbelly and patterning, and pinkish or pale yellow-orange feathers, and Night Featherhorns are black with purple underbelly and patterning, and have indigo feathers with white spots like stars.

(Largely advantages, I know. Will be balanced by low amounts of tech.)

WIP Image, will improve later;

Unshown on the image is the fact that they would have patterning similar to scolipedes.

Starborne Tribe

Name: Starborne Tribe, aka the Alliance of Stars

Leaders: Tempest of Dawn, Lily of Day, Shadow of Dusk, and The Dreadnought of Night.

Virtues; Peace-loving, friendly, xenophilic, high cooperation, high internal morals, Love new technology

Vices; Will sometimes pretend problems don’t exist, very violent tendencies once enraged (can include after a hunt, which is why the tribe tends to more vegetarian options when possible), very prone to becoming hangry, willing to adopt new things but resistant to change of old things

Technology; Fire, Stone Tools, Treehouse construction, extremely simple gardening (more for aesthetic at this point, single plants here and there, not realizing cultivation of dedicated crops is possible)

(Tried to keep amount of tech low to balance out abundance of advantages, thoughts?)
