Isomara Species Information [WIP]

This document is actively being updated based on the original documentation here

Float an image of a standard and Deus Isomara on the left of the general description below.

Isomara (Eye-so-mare-ah), or for short, Isos, are semi-aquatic mammals with huge paws and manes and are often classified as dragons. They have feathered wings and large rounded canine teeth. The name Isos comes from the Greek word meaning equal.
 

Include a section on anatomy split between standard and deus.

Appearance

Isomara are normally slender at the waist with a larger rib cage. Their paws are massive to counter their small, thin arms and legs. They have hard skulls and flexible spines. Isomara do not have paw pads on the bottom of their paws. Their running is very flat-footed, and some may say goofy-looking. 
Thick, dense fur covers the whole body. Their body fur is similar to that of an otter. The other type of fur that covers select parts of their body is very fluffy and soft. This fur is the Isomara's pride, and it will keep it groomed to be huge and fluffy. This fluffy fur appears around their neck as a mane, in their ears, and as parts of areas of tail types.

Size

     Height

A standard adult isomara can range anywhere from four feet to barely seven feet from paw to head when standing on their hind legs. Isomara, which range below four feet as adults, are considered to have dwarfism, and Isomara taller than seven feet are labeled with gigantism. Isomara are not often born with dwarfism or gigantism and cannot always control their heights, but we hear Hasha's Hut has some items that will allow you to alter your Isomara's height whenever you want!
*On the character's masterlist page whether the Isomara is feral or anthro stance the height is based on if the Isomara was to stand up straight on its hind legs.

Dwarfism: 3'0'' - 3'11'' | 91 cm - 119 cm
Average: 4'0'' - 6'11'' | 121 cm - 210 cm
Gigantism: 7'0'' - 8'11'' | 213 cm - 271 cm

     Weight

Isomara can be various body types. Most commonly they are lean and lanky, but they can develop quite a bit of muscle or blubber. You may draw your Isomara with whatever body type you'd like!

     Wingspan

    Isomara can have different wing sizes. The first is large wings, these Isomara are labeled Flyers and are much more adept at flying higher and for longer periods of time. Small winged Isomara are called Swimmers as they cannot fly as well and will take to swimming more often. Having smaller wings means less weight holding the Isomara back from swimming (Wing span goes from one tip of one wing to the tip of the other wing).

Flyers: 9'0'' - 10'5'' | 274 cm - 317 cm
Swimmers: 4'0'' - 5'5'' | 121 cm - 165 cm

Life Expectancy

    ~65 years; Isomara age to adulthood very quickly. It is best to compare an Isomara's aging to a Horses. By the time the Isoling are a year old they would be the same as an 8-year-old human child.

Intelligence & Behavior

     ---

Diet

    Isomara are omnivores. They feast on a variety of fish, crustaceans, plant material, Memic eggs and more. Squid is a common favorite among Isomara. Isomara also like to dabble in creating new food combinations with different palettes and flavors.

Mating & Life Cycle

    It is not uncommon for Isomara to have multiple mates, they often choose mates based on strong bonds, but some Isomara believe to only mate with other Isomara who are skilled and well trained. Once they have eyes on a mate each Isomara will search out a precious gem to give to the other to cherish. They will then work together to build a nest for the upcoming egg(s).
There is no mating season for Isomaras, but courtships commonly happen in the cooler months as other Isos will try to find someone to share warmth with.
