About
Volax have a pretty simple yet oddly unique look.They are large creatures that have a very canine and feline look.Their main traits are:Large ‘lizard’ looking tail, commonly has something on the tailtip, like feathers, fur, or anything tbh.
Long antenna poking out of their ear tips.
Large feathery wings.
Retractable claws and venomous fangs.
Volax were made with inspirations of moths, bats and wolves in 2018. Nowdays they are inspired by peacocks, angler fish and maned wolves.

Bulb examples
Bulbs will always glow, no matter if they're a feather, fur tuft, shape or classic bulb shape.
They can be multicolor or color changing.
On the base of the tail, there are 2 additonal antenna. These are optional !
wings
Volax have wings, which can be any size and any shape.
In some instances, a Volax is born without wings. It is a genetic trait.
body
Volax anatomy varies around canines, felines and foxes. The most common is similar to a maned wolf! Volax are usually sly creatures, but they do have alot more to offer.Volax have different body types to different world regions.
Volax tend to have fur, however their fur may be thick, thin, hairless or even have scales on parts of their body.
Volax can have horns and spikes anywhere, too.Volax must have 1 glowing pattern or marking on their fur. (For hairless, itll be very slight and can likely just be ignored if your volax's skin doesnt reflect any patterns (Like people!))The body can have scales, spikes, etc.
Pawpads usually glow, but thats up to you! Volax tend to be very glowy
tails
Volax tails come in many forms, but heres some ideas to choose from!
Volax tails by normal have short fur on them.
Volax cannot have cat, wolf or dog tails. (Entirely long fur, Unless it is a nub tail)Volax usually have 2 antenna minimum at the base of the tail, though this is optional.
other
Some Volax may have more than just a trait difference.There's particle effects and special traits!Particles are as you think, you can give them anything to float around them. This includes fireflies, moths, objects or just particles. This can mix with special traits (such as a drowsy mist, smoke from their mouth, or occasional visible zaps)Volax can have special traits, like magic. Fire breathing, jellyfish (zapping) antenna, acidic saliva or induce drowsiness. If you think of any more things like this, go for it! They usually arnt physical/visible traits, examples being sharper claws, extra teeth, larger wings, or multiple eyes. Those count as just regular traits :3
lore
Volax are creatures from another planet, where almost everything is bioluminescent. Volax are predators that typically eat meat but do sometimes choose to eat plants or fruit.They thrive in low light conditions, usually found in the dark side of the planet.The sun and planet rotate perfectly to keep one half of the planet dark, and the other bright and warm.The waters are filled of bioluminescent creatures that die under UV light and have predators in the waters they live and breed in, causing non-glowing patches in rivers and the large lake.The majority vegetation of the light side sticks near to the rivers, as all non-flowing water evaporates under the constant sun.
