Weretober 2023 Batch Part 1 - Featuring Newts, Cats, Boars and Local Wildlife

It's Weretober! A big month for my worldbuilding project of Beast Fables, as there's so much worldbuilding to do. Now, to break down the rows:

Pets! A Were-Crested Newt takes his pet otter for a walk, and a were-cat hugs her precious Dire Cat, named tibbles. In Urvara, there's a LOT more varieties of domesticated pets, from otters, to monitor lizards, to even miniature hippos!

Mercenary work is a popular profession in Urvara, especially after a big conflict, where many former military werefolk cannot acclimate back to civilian life. This wereboar shows off his scars, while this werelion, decked in gamebson and hardened leather grieves and armed with both kriegsmesser and musket, demonstrates that, even in the age of gunpowder, melee weapons and armor still has a place in a world where every human can turn into anything from a bear to a scorpion.

A Were-Giant Anteater paleontologist finds the discovery of a lifetime: A Dinosaur chimera, one that looks takes the dragon as its chimeric form.

A werefrog gets the fright of its life, as a Capricorn (a chimeric form of Catfish that gets traits from caprines, such as goats) takes its bait and then some!

A young werebull prepares to duel against a Minotaur, for he is a Minotaur wrestler, like his father and grandfather before him.

Amphibiuary Day 25: Newt

A northern/great crested newt. Fun fact: a pool containing these newts was discovered on the field in my secondary school when I was maybe 14 and they held an assembly to tell everyone not to go and look for them because they're a protected species. So everyone immediately went to look for them djdndn (I think they were fine though!)

Recently entered this drawing in a competition specifically about (animal) biodiversity. I thought it would be boring to “only” draw the animals so I added biologist actively working to save them (both the firesalamander and the great crested newt are in severe danger due to a spreading fungi that basically gore through them like flesh eating bacteria)

Also Ignore the face in the top left

Great Crested Newt

[ID: A photo of a great crested newt (a dark brown newt with a yellow belly, black spots and a dramatic crest along it's back). It is standing underwater on a pebbly surface with green pondweed visible in the background END ID]

Habitat: Found in Russia and much of Europe, the great crested newt prefers to live in forests outside of the breeding season.

Diet: Mostly invertebrates and the young of other amphibians

Why they're cool:

Male great crested newts will perform a complex courtship display involving tail-flapping to wave pheromones towards a female. They are the largest newts in Europe with females regularly reaching lengths of 16cm, though rare individuals have been recorded at up to 20cm long

A majestic creature! Inspired by pictures of the great crested newt!

I liked the spots of yellow I saw on some of them, so I decided to give this lovely lady some much needed orange! She is so elegant 🧡✨☺️

One member of the salamander family called the Great Crested Newt has been diminishing in number over the years due to loss of habitat, which is the reason that newt fencing is required in England.  When any type of site work is being conducted for new construction, companies must install these fences to prevent these, as well as other small creatures, from entering the site.

I'm really sorry if you already answered but I did look through the whole lexicon and used control+f. Do we have words for Lizards/Newts//Salamanders/Reptiles?

I wanted to see the Clanmew names for 2 OCs Lizardsong and Salamanderclaw. The second being a Skyclan Daylight Warrior!

The word for reptile is "Skeep"! It is a wingless, typically scaled animal without fish "wings". So, it actually includes amphibians as well. This is because there are very few reptiles in the UK; Clan cats don't see why an amphibian is not simply a water-reptile.

So to them, a lizard is a four-legged reptile with a tail. It includes all of the newts that they encounter on a regular basis, even though these are technically amphibians. What are you gonna do, teach the cats cladistics?

Lizard (Generic) = Ssassa Adult newts and lizards, without breeding season adornments. Has 6 species.

Sail (of a fish or a breeding male newt) = Saoss The dorsal fins on top of a fish or a breeding male newt.

Viviparous Lizard (Zootoca vivipara) = Sipssa Eggs are much rarer in this part of the world than you might think. Like its name suggests, the viviparous lizard typically gives live birth, which is likened to the adder. This is the most common lizard in the area, encountered by all Clans.

Sand Lizard (Lacerta agilis) = Hwoossa Named for being seen mostly in WindClan's sandy lowland heath, because this IS an animal that lays eggs. It needs sunny, sandy areas to be able to hatch a brood.

Smooth Newt (Lissotriton vulgaris) = Fyenssa A contraction of "Flame's Lizard," for the quirk where these newts will often hide in piles of cold, wet wood, only to flee out when a fire is lit. The most common newt to encounter, feel free to translate as "salamander!"

Palmate Newt (Lissotriton helveticus) = Horrssa The "shade newt," so named because this one generally prefers forested, green areas. Its tail is much fatter than the other newts.

Great Crested Newt (Triturus cristatus) = Gisis What was once the Tribemew word for all lizards now only describes the great crested newt, the largest and most respected of the "lizard" classification. An accomplished hunter with an impressive sail during its breeding season, on both the back and the tail.

Some extra facts about newts and lizards in general...

Scientifically, all newts are salamanders, but not all salamanders are newts. You could translate any one of these words as "salamander."

Through their lives, newts will have terrestrial phases and aquatic phases.

Britain's cold climate and isolation as an island means there are very few reptiles in general; amphibian species outnumber them because it is very wet.

Slowworms are technically a lizard, but Clan cats believe they are a snake.

Clan cats also believe that snakes were not originally reptiles, but worms. There is a story about a cat who hunted them to extinction and then had to recreate them from memory, forgetting that worms don't have scales.
