The Aeridini is a Fabled Species that appears once every year at the start of spring. Its arrival always marks the beginning of the Sylestian Spring Festival. Aeridinies spend much of their observed time pollinating Sylestia's many different types of flowers. Their diet consists almost exclusively of nectar, making them excellent candidates for pollinating. It is also thought that the Aeridini is a close relative of the Nephini due to their dragonkin ancestry and their similar physical features.

Behavior[]

Aeridinies are very carefree creatures, that is assuming you aren't harming their flowers. Aeridinies will become very aggressive if they feel that their food source is threatened. Aeridinies are also very nurturing and have even been observed helping both other species of Sylesties and even Sylestians themselves. Due to their exclusive nature, not much is known about their offspring, breeding habits, or their lifestyle outside of the few weeks they spend pollinating flowers each year.

Breeding[]

As with all Fabled species, female Aeridinies require 7 days to recover after producing an egg, however, the eggs, as with all eggs, hatch within 2-3 days depending on how much they are nurtured.

Physical Features[]

Aeridinies, while similar to the Nephini, have a few unique characteristics. Aeridinies have very long, thin, flexible tongues that they use to drink nectar, which makes up their entire diet. They also have long, flowery antennas that are thought to help them detect specific types of flowers in the wind. They also do not have any type of hind legs. To make up for this shortcoming, they have three different sets of wings that allow them to always remain in flight without getting tired. When Aeridinies rest, they find a high, safe perch and curl up on.

Aeridinies have also been seen with various types of wings and tails. It's thought that these features are either what controls the Aeridini's choice of flowers or their choice of flower decides their type of wings and tail. Regardless, all Aeridinies have beautiful flowers growing from the tip of their tail. They use their tails to help pollinate flowers throughout Sylestia and, in rare circumstances, for camouflage from threats.

Trait Information[]

#G1: These affect the tail of an Aeridini. Gene DD [Eyespots] will be affected by the eye colour, Gene FF [Spring Arcanist's Flare] will be affected by the Gene Accent.

#G2: These will alter the look of the wings. Genes CC, DD, EE, and FF [Nebula, Coral Snake, Monarch, and Lunar Spots] are all affected by the eye color, while Gene GG [Spring Arcanist's Dust] is affected by the Gene Accent.

#G3: These genes mainly show up on the body of an Aeridini. Genes AA, BB, CC, DD, EE, FF, OO, and RR [Tiger, Uromastyx, Milk Snake, Hummingbird, Muddy, Flora Henna, Day Gecko, and Spring Arcanist's Shroud] are all affected by C3. Genes II, JJ, KK, LL, MM, and PP [Lava Lamp, Glitter Dust, Frost Runes, Leaf Veins, Sea Foam, and Valentine Lace] are all affected by the eye color. All G3s show mainly the color of the G3 slot, but many of the genes affected by C3 are a balanced mix of the two.

#M1: These mutations alter the entire shape of the tail. The only Mutation unaffected by C3 is Mutation LL, Natureguard's Tail, and is instead affected by C2. Mutations HH, II, JJ, and KK [Poinsettia Tail, Lotus Tail, Bat Flower, and Lunar Tail*] all are affected by the eye color. The only Mutation affected by the second Accent Color is MM, Spring Arcanist's Tail.

#M2: These mutations change the wings. Most are only affected by the mutation color and C3, while FF and HH, Lunar Wings and Spring Arcanist Wings, are affected by the eye color and the second Accent Color, respectively.

#M3: [WIP]

Festival Pets[]

Themed Pets are any species of pet within a certain color range, for a specific festival. They can have genes and mutations, but will always be different. Themed pets show up during festivals, mostly in the Festival Zone. This list is currently alphabetized.
