This is an OPEN SPECIES that I created! Anybody is welcome to make their own Shadoxes if they so desire. :D Feel free to PM me if you're interested and have more questions about the design requirements of them.

And if you haven't seen my first form, the Body form, check it out here! I describe quite a few general shadox species details there.

So I already established my Body form as cute, fluffy, and fully alive. But as I said before, Shadoxes have three forms they can switch between anytime...!

This is my second form, my Mind form. A Shadox in Mind form loses the floof, having a smooth skin and typically more-agile bodies, as well as usually sharper teeth and claws. (A 'sharp mind', you could say!) Mind form Shadoxes also tend to have darker, more aggressive dispositions...not EVIL per se, but definitely darker!

While a Body form Shadox is fully alive, the Mind form Shadox is definitely not fully alive. Nor...fully dead, either. Mind Shadoxes still have physical forms and physical needs, but their state of 'living' is best described as in limbo - flowing both along the physical and supernatural realms. Naturally, the latter also allows their ghostly abilities to be far more powerful and controlled than their Body forms could ever pull off.

The Mind form Shadox has their hip symbols change...still staying to   supameep's tantar language, but this time being the word for 'Mind' in that language. Fire also sprouts from their bodies - usually across the same spots their Body forms had floof. The fire is ghostly and can have different properties and effects to others depending on the Shadox and their personality.

My Mind form is female. (As Shadoxes are general fluid and different forms usually have different preferences.) She's quite the predatory sort, treating quite a few people as toys and/or food. <3 If something ends up in her belly, it's usually getting gurgled; she's not terribly sentimental! But she's just a predator, not evil. It's quite possible to befriend her, though you do have to treat her with respect and be a lot more careful with her. (And if you're just wanting to be a willing meal to her, well, she's more than happy to entertain your desires~ ;3 )

My Mind form's fire does not burn people, but it does slowly sap their life force...making individuals in contact with it feel tired, and often become easy prey for the hungry gal! Her fire also happens to absorb the light around it...making her glow, but leaving an aura of darkness around that glow.

You can also see my Body form's prayer beads and paper tag are still intact in the Mind form, but the tag in singed and the tag's attachment accessory has been re-purposed into a makeshift 'tail' for my Mind form. This is another trait for all Shadoxes; whatever is used for a tag-holder in their Body forms will generally shift in shape and size to form a sort of tail for the Mind form. :3

This image was drawn by   pippuri and colored by me. :3 Pippuri was an immense help in designing this species and I can't thank her enough for fleshing out my ideas with me! She helped me make sure this new 'sona was a winner! <3

Feel free to ask any more questions you might have about my species, offer your opinions, etc! I'd love to answer/hear them! And still stay turned, as I'll soon post my final form!
