Vulpimancer

Vulpimancers are a species from the planet Vulpin.

Appearance
Vulpimancers are far more animalistic than humanoid. They can range from the size of an adult human to several times the size of a human. As they mature, they grow tails.

Vulpimancers from Vulpin are orange while Vulpimancers from the Null Void can be orange, grayish blue, red or brownish red.

Mature male Vulpimancers have stripes on their backs, females don't while female Vulpimancers have paler fur than males.

DNAlien Vulpimancers
Vulpimancer DNAliens have dark orange bodies with black feet, black back and a visible brain.

Language
According to Dwayne McDuffie, Vulpimancers do have a language, but it is too difficult for Universal Translators to translate and they are unable to speak English.

Behavior
Vulpimancers are not very friendly with their own kind, but this is a common trait among animals that aren't family.

Vulpimancers normally live hunting down whatever they can find to eat and moving on to the next meal.

Vulpimancers whine like dogs when scared, as heard in Last Laugh.

Powers and Abilities
Vulpimancers have an incredibly strong sense of smell, which they use to work our their surroundings due to their lack of eyes.

Vulpimancers have enhanced strength, as Wildmutt could rip off the roof of a car with ease.

Vulpimancers have enhanced agility that allows them to run, jump, as well as climb at a superhuman rate.

Vulpimancers can dig at a fast speed.

Although Vulpimancers are quadruped, they are capable of standing on their hind legs and punch with their front legs, though somewhat awkwardly.

Weaknesses
Vulpimancers can't speak Earth languages.

When infected with an Earth cold virus, a Vulpimancer's nostrils get blocked by mucus, making them unable to smell and thus, blind. Also, their fur color seems to become paler and their lips and claws turn a sickly dark green color.

Vulpimancer senses are very sensitive, making them vulnerable to anything that can overwhelm their senses, such as a high pitched sound or a strong smell.

Appearance
Evolved Vulpimancers are significantly larger and more muscular than Vulpimancers. Their fur is a maroon-red color. They have four huge gray/white spikes running down its back that overlap. These spikes start out as a shark-like fin at the head, and rising almost into an arc over the back, tapering near the rump.

Evolved Vulpimancers also have a long tail whose tip has a horn, resembling a scorpion stinger.

Powers and Abilities
Like Vulpimancers, evolved Vulpimancers have an incredible sense of smell.

Evolved Vulpimancers are much stronger and more agile than Vulpimancers.
