Species Name: ‘Shadow Hybrid’
Animal/Species group: Hybrid/Hybridixus
Type: Elemental
Status: Very Rare

Habitat: (Any place)
Common: Mountains, caves, darkness/dark places
Rare: Fortress, light/open places

Gender/life cycle:
They usually live alone on their own and very few ones stays together as mates until one of them dies. A female will lay over or about 20-30 eggs each time they lay eggs about 2 times each year if not more or less. When a female gets ready to lay eggs she will wait for about 1 week if not more depending on how long time it takes for a male to find her, after all she only have 3 weeks before she can no longer bear any eggs and have to wait for the next time to lay eggs. If more than one male show up there will be no fight to tell who gets the female and the chance to become a father, only the female can tell who it shall be. The female only stays near the eggs until it’s time for them to hatch, after that she might leave them or bring food to them during their first week of life before leaving them to fend for themselves. Even those who are mates does this as well but might take care of one or two whelps as they grew up and leaves at the age of 3 to live alone, these ones often have a bigger chance to stay alive as they have learned from the older ones. Sometimes even a lone hybrid might take care of a lonely whelp until it leaves as well.

Hunting:
-edit-

Info:
These hybrids often live solitary lives and live a hard life from the start after breaking out from their egg and are able to stand and walk within the first 5 minutes. As soon as they know how to walk without falling or tripping on the ground they will start to run and jump around and even jump over things. They can survive without food for 5 days before they starts to feel weak from not eating anything and if they do not eat anything within 2 days they usually dies of starvation. The first thing they do after hatching is to lick up any liquid from when they hatched since it might take time for them to find water. If they do not drink water within 4 days, well I’m sure you know how thirsty they will be and they might not have the strength to hunt for food to live.

They will slowly learn about their own hidden elemental powers as they grows up and learns that they are stronger when staying in the darkness and weaker in the light. The first most of them learn is to hide in shadows (become one with darkness/shadows) and after that they will learn even more about what they can and can’t do and what they need to get better on. After all less than 40% survives to become 100 and only about 15-20% becomes 1 000 or even older as they age.

So far we are unsure if they even live to become 2 000 or more as most of them are killed by others in their young lives, not strange knowing they lay 20-30 eggs during mating time. And the whelps may even stay together in a group or more until they split up or they leave the group one by one.
