About Mal'sin
Mal'sin are creatures from the planet Caseriya. They are fox-like in appearence, but carry special traits, such as wings or fins, or dragon scales. The most you will see is common Mal'sin, justyour basic to extremely detailed creatures all coming from a common ancestor. When a genetic flaw shows up, you get what is called an Elemental, they hold a slight magical capability, and are usually much more flamboyant then a common. Hybrids are when you breed a Elemental with a common, you get a creature that is blessed with a power, but they are not as strong as a Elemetal. Some pups from a hybrid litter turn out totally common though. They are a totally bondable loving race, they usually bond to the first person that they come in contact with, asside from their breeder. They are an ancient race, that has become domesticated, it is rare to find one in the wild anymore, unless it was abandoned by their owner and left to roam. There are shows held for Mal'sin, and all Mal'sin carry a registered name, not unlike purebred dogs from Earth.
To destinguish a male from a female without turning your critter over, is very easy when it comes to Mal'sin. A male mal'sin has a ruff of hair on his head, and a thicker tail, they are usually heavier bone then a female. A female mal'sin, has a smooth forehead, a thinner tail, and larger ears generally.
Here is an example of an old Mal'sin. Dusk was drawn in 2001, but he gives you a good idea of what they look like.
