The Koyn and a Chimera with a Non-humanoid appearance.

Physiology[edit]

The Koyn is a pitch black behemoth. A 10-foot tall torso, on 2 huge long legs with multiple joints. On most occasions, the legs are folded using its 2 feet combined with its 2 'lower knees' for stability, like a quadruped. In this setup it stands at 'only' about 10ft, and can slip its way through human ship door ways without unwieldiness. In large open areas, this beast prefers to stand, still on 'lower knees' and feet like a quadruped, but instead extending its legs upward, standing at about 30ft tall and wings fully expanded. If pressed, a Koyn could stand on only its feet, standing that a full 40ft.

  • 1-Head - With a large beak.
  • 36-Eyes - 3 on the head, the rest all over the body.
  • 6-Arms -Each with 6 fingers(4 fingers and 2 thumbs), top 2 arms are much larger.
  • 4-Wings - Each wing can fold up to a thin pole shape, the ends move like 4 fingers and 2 thumbs.
  • 2-Legs - Huge, long, with many joints.
  • 6-Tails - ~9m long, hiver-like muscle tentacles with 6 radial 'fingers'.
