Description

Updated 17/7/2020
Please use traits from the Aphex species for mutations!

Update!
Scales have been removed from limbs, if you have an Old Gen Dephx, it will be an uncommon trait and considered "Old Gen".


Dephx can have any type of ears (Nothing insane like wings etc)

Summary


Dephx were seen as failed attempts at creating what we know now as Aphex. They were intended to be eliminated however many specimens escaped during the downfall of humanity. They hold an instinctual resentment towards Aphex, viewing themselves as on par with the Aphex however treatment by humans have soured their beliefs. Not all Dephx have a natural hatred towards Aphex, especially if raised or domesticated by them. Dephx are currently rare and are not a major threat to Aphex at this point. They are smart, the same intelligence and consciousness as humans and Aphex alike. 

Dephx are omnivores however they often prey on Aphex given the chance. They can eat anything edible; plants, animals, homemade foods. Dephx are also extremely light, their bones hollow-like just like a bird. This allows them to almost hover in the air when they jump, assuming they haven't eaten a big meal. They can not photosynthesis like Aphex. Since they do not have eyes they use echolocation and smell, which they are very attuned to using, unlike the VOIX.


Society

 
Aphex commonly know of these "rejects" however they view the Dephx species as brothers and refuse to hunt or kill them en mass. Dephx may be treated like a danger, but when face to face with one, many Aphex do not survive. It is very controversial to keep/tame a Dephx as they can act on instinct and potentially become aggressive to their carer. Dephx often are found in the uninhabited wilderness, usually on the outskirts of Aphex districts or villages. Since they are rare, they usually by themselves. 

Appearance


The most distinguishing aspect about Dephx is their skull like heads. They are actually hard muscle attached to the skull underneath, however, it can actually contort to display emotion, especially around the eye. Teeth are hidden underneath, often the gums retract a little bit back to hide the teeth, but if you could see underneath they would be visible.  The back legs actually have a toe that faces the opposite direction then the other two. It can bed other ways, however this is to hold onto branches/poles etc.
