Gemsnatchers are cat/snake mixed demons, all have on particular snake and one particular cat mixed in them. They have two forms, one small one (on the left) usually around 3 to 4 feet tall and a larger form (on the right) and can be anything above 7 feet tall.

Gemsnatchers are solitary creatures when theyre young, they usually live in far out caves, swamps and abandoned places by themselves.

Theyre hoarders by nature, and have huge collections of treasure, and sometimes other specialized things theyve taken interest to and decided to collect (skulls, guns, cutlery, plastic bottles ect.) But they all collect gold and gems.
Because of this theyre often hunted by humans for their huge treasure troves. Humans however, have no knowledge of their huge demon forms, which makes killing any who come to take their belongings very easy.

Gemsnatchers are very particular about items not apart of their hoard being in their piles, which makes finding a partner very difficult, as living with another would mean merging their hoards. Gemsnatchers generally mate for life, but sometimes more than two will be together at once in poly relationships.

Gemsnatchers can have any number of large head spikes.
Any number of face gems, and gems on their bodies. Spikes are also common on the tail and between large clumps of gems.
Gems are always one single type.
The pattern of their fur is based on the cat, though the length is always very short apart from occasional long patches of fur (usually around the neck, tail and backs of the arms and legs).
Their ears, and nose are cat based also.
Eyes and mouth, as well as flesh color, are based on their snake part.
They can have sharp or blunt claws, of varying length and color.
