Vilous | Lyuca and their Talyxian Dogs [+HD Version & Original Size Artwork and Bonus Attachment]

Here we've got my Northern Sergal named Lyuca who is a biologist in Shigu, and their two T-dogs which are looking for a "miso" (it means a liquid ore in Vilous context) within these stones which are covered with Talyxian moss!

Talyxian Dogs Lore

They bare a close appearance to the wild Talyxian Associators, but it matters not if they are or are not direct ancestors, as in the era when they still appear in records, they already have working relationships with people and it is said that Southern Siegs considered Dogs important property at the beginning.

Talyxian Dogs have no wings and are superior in detecting foods and tools buried in sand with jaw-like tentacles. They are also sensitive to the detection of sandstorm and foreign enemies. Generally, it is quite friendly to other people, and is preferentially keyed towards the interests of the person it deems the owner. Their voice resembles that of a bird or an alarm. Sensing a threat, they will emit a dissonant type of sound.

Talyxian physical genders are different from Earth creatures, so whilst it cannot be said to be in the same vein with Earth creatures and hermaphrodite structures, technically, however they are similar with regards to slugs or snails, where both dogs in the same couple which mate together get pregnant when conducting their reproductive measures.

One of the biggest differences between dogs and wolves is that dogs need to eat, having a small mouth and small digestive organs. Furthermore, they do perform mating or unit reproduction. Several babies are raised during mating seasons, one child is born when conducting reproductive measures, but born in a very small state. In the case of unit reproduction, the appearance pattern will most likely be the same as the parent. They will not reproduce if they do not have an owner. In the case of mating, they can have multiple patterns. Besides the gray, brown and other coat color, differences are recognized in the head and legs.

Because they are a creature which has adapted to the desert originally, they present a fair weakness to Miasma. There is no miasma present in the desert, therefore they are not a resistant creature toward miasma. Their sensations and danger sensing ability easily become unstable in places where there is a strong miasma presence.

Although one can see a lot of dogs maily around Gold Ring, there are also hound dogs brought to the hunters of Reono. Since they are fairly weak to Miasma, they will be later introduced to the Shigu.

There are “stray dogs” with no owners in Gold Ring. This is considered to be due in part to people getting close to each other in the process of forming towns or villages in the desert. Stray dogs have various strains of Talyxian species, especially those that seem to have been crossed with T-Stalkers. Another reason is because they are not good at recognizing a specific or certain person if there are many people in a crowd or area. In such a situation, like a massive urban area, they are quick to fall under the same type of sensory confusion as if they were surrounded by strong miasma regions. Due to this, in high population density, some dogs may lose their sensation which helps them recognize their owner, and then they would quickly turn into stray dogs if left unattended.
