Premium Species: Softkus by fumi-LEX

Premium Species: Softkus

fumi-LEX

They need a better name OTL

Made these guys quite a bit ago but wasn't going to share with the public because I'm super protective of them haha. They are basically a species I made to make me feel better sleeping at night. They are inspired by bakus, plushies, blankets and other things.

These will be a 'Premium' closed species. This means that every design will come with the adult and child drawings, a front and back chibi thing that shows the markings clearly, maybe another chibi (I haven't decided), and each comes with a bit of starter character info, like it's personality and a quirk (although it doesn't have to be used). This also means they won't be cheap, though.

I haven't worked out a lot of info on them yet. Here's what I've come up with so far:
-They do not have mouths, but they do have curly little trunk-like appendages on their face. This appendage is normally curled up all fat on the face tucked between the tusks, but when they are feeding they can extend them to reach their prey's forehead so they can monitor it's vitals. They consume dreams/nightmares while hugging onto prey, they kind of just absorb the dreams.
-There is stretchy skin connecting between their legs and tail, they can envelop something or someone completely.
-The arms themselves don't have bones in them, they can stretch pretty freaking long to help grab their victims
-The fur around their neck and along the bottom of their bodies is extremely soft and contains a powder that relaxes creatures that breathe it in.
-They have a lot of control with their pupils, they can rotate them completely around, squeeze shut and dialate like a normal pupil, curve the opening in specific ways, ect. The pupil must always stretch between one side of the inner ring of the iris to the other though. Here's a gif to better show what the eyes can do.
-They communicate to each other with the bells around their neck, each one has a unique bell. The bell is actually manifestations of their very spirit, as the baku grows older the etchings grow more and more intricate.

About the babies:
They are a little like cuckoo birds, they are placed in the bed of children in disguise as a plush animal (one that makes it really easy to sleep hhaha) this makes for an easy food source, since they aren't big or developed enough to capture prey as an adult would. The little infiltrator will knock away all other competing plushies that might also be on the bed, to ensure that it is the one to be cuddled.

Also they don't feed so much that it harms the host, they are too small to do any real damage haha

Basically instead of going around and finding prey that are already sleeping like a baku normally would, they put their prey to sleep with extreme comfort and relaxation. After they feed on their victim's dreams/nightmares, they find or make a place where they won't be harmed by predators or other dangers and make their escape just a little bit before they awake. The victim wakes up feeling very refreshed, although not dreaming can be damaging to their well-being if done very often. These guys are probably bred in captivity and used for sleep-related medical treatments, like for those suffering from chronic sleep disorders, they can probably be trained not to consume the dreams every time they put their patient to sleep.

art, design, and character belong to me. They are a closed species
