Rider: Bear Ashweaver
Appearance:
With long, raptorial arms and a sleek, elusive body, Viscusvoréntomon is a creature of beauty, and also terror. She maintains a horrifying, yet strangely magnificent and beautiful appearance for something her size. She reaches the height of 21 feet tall and 58 feet long. Radiating elegance, she creeps around in the cover of trees and foilage with soft, slowly movements in a way that make her a silent, and deadly foe. Her claws have sharp barbs covering them, piercing into her prey and creating oozing, painful wounds like a thousand needles. Her four legs attached to her abdomen grant her the ability to walk with elegance, and also run with shocking speed and strength. These legs also give her the ability to climb surfaces with graceful ease. Her large, see-through wings shine bright when the smallest amount of light hits them, able to reflect a beautiful amount of colors, enough to create a light show with the perfect angle. Though beautiful, these wings are unable to carry her in full flight, and only allow her to glide. Adding to her graceful appearance, she is colored green, with large splotches of brown that look similar to the pattern of dead leaves. With her colors, she could disguise in trees and it'll look like she became one with the environment.
With two eyes made out of thousands of ommitidia, Viscusvoréntomon has excellent eyesight. Her eyes give her a panoramic vision of her surroundings, which makes her able to see objects from very far away, and gives her a wider field of view. They all are an eerie black color, that makes them look lifeless and inexpressive. Though eerie, they still manage to have a beauty to them that makes others hair, or fur, or whatever, stand up on end. They create an aura of mystery, and wonder to her delicate, elegantly creepy appearance. Her mouth is capable of shreading prey very well, with her two mandibles acting as scissors to slice through her meals with ease. She has not one pair of antennae atop her head, but two. The first pair, with antennae that stick straight up in the air with only the tips being curled, effective for detecting the essences of life around her, and the second pair, flexible and very strong antennae that sends sensations to her mind, telling her the emotions of everything she touches with them.
Viscusvoréntomon has two large, raptorial arms, which are perfect tools for gripping and latching onto objects. With three main segments to them, the top segment is solely to attach them to her body, make them longer, and more flexible. The second segment gives them a forward bend, and begins to be covered in barbs at the bottom part of it. The third segment bends to shape it like a raptors arm, with sharp barbs and a pointed tip that make it the perfect weapon. With precision and efficiency, Viscus is capable of eviscerating anyone who blocks her path with these dangerous weapons. While sharp and dangerous, these arms can be used for healing purposes. She can use these tools to weave cells and stitch her allies and friends back together, so long as someone or herself is willing to donate some cells for her to use.
What gives her the great ability to climb and run is her four other legs. Viscusvoréntomon's other legs all attach to her abdomen, and are quite strong, despite being so thin. Because she has four of them, they all give her excellent speed and make her quite agile. With these legs, she can easily haul herself up trees, to wait patiently for her unsuspecting prey to stumble upon her path. From there, she uses her back pair of legs to leap onto it with great precision and accuracy, and her front pair to pin it down, or latch onto it. Then, her raptorial pair is used to shred it.
Viscusvoréntomon has an oval-shaped abdomen, which is used for many purposes. The tip is slightly pointed at the bottom. This abdomen is used for storing her hallucinogenic gas, and for resting her wings after gliding. At the bottom half of her abdomen, there's a line of holes that are used for "exhaling" the gas is the easiest way to describe it. These holes also take in plant materials to make her burning acid-like saliva when she bites into something. This saliva grows plants inside the victim's lungs.
Personality:
An eerily calm aura surrounds Viscusvoréntomon, with her emotionless eyes adding to it. Even in the toughest situations, this dragons manages to stay calm despite whatever could be happening. It's as if she's entirely incapable of feeling fear, or stress. She in fact does feel fear and stress, and quite a bit of it, but her ability to mask her emotions is astonishing. She's just seems so quiet, calm, and completely unbothered in all situations. The strange thing is, Viscus doesn't try to hide her emotions, she just naturally does. Maybe it's her mantid face that makes them hard to notice? Or maybe she simply grew calm over her many centuries of life? Not even she herself knows, but in a way, she likes it. Being calm and reserved, in a way that makes her presence seem abnormal, has just become her thing now
Viscusvoréntomon talks with woeful phrases, and a clicking, hissing voice that sounds like an alligator's hissing and it's jaws snapping down onto unsuspecting prey. She talks slowly, anxiously, as if she's afraid if she talks fast, she'll slip up and say something much different than what she meant. In reality, she talks slow because while she's talking, she's also thinking at the same time, and analyzing. Her voice echoes with a motherly tone to it whenever she speaks to a creature smaller than her, with a soft, sweet voice. Viscus speaks naturally more gentle to those tiny creatures, as a way of showing that she's not a threat. She speaks this way when comforting others too. When she's upset, her voice echoes with a screeching sound, when she isn't, like metal scraping against more metal.
Viscusvoréntomon's friendship is very selective. It takes a lot to gain her trust, but it's worth it. It takes a lot of time to even be able to stand next to her without her twitching in discomfort or anxiety, or just walking away. She rarely approaches others herself, and instead, makes others approach her. That's what helps her determine friends. With tiny humans, it's much easier to gain her friendship. She naturally finds tiny humans adorable, and innocent, which makes her easily tamable by them. And to them, she talks in the soft, sweet tone she uses with hatchlings. With other dragons though, they have to dedicate their free time to befriending her for months to make her trust them even a little bit.
When it comes to romance, Viscus is surprisingly unattached to her mate. She often never has a crush on any, but instead, she'll search for the strongest male she can find. The only attachment she ever feels with her mates are when they have hatchlings together, because when they do, well, they both have to work together to ensure the survival of the hatchlings. Her first eggs sac she was alone when she had, and naturally scared, and ended up abandoning it before it hatched. She hopes to be better with her next one, and care for all five hundred of the hatchlings, whether she is alone with them or not. A way to keep her attached in her relationship is with lots of romantic gestures, or similarities shared. She can be incredibly needy when it comes to romantic relationships though, which often makes others not want to be her mate, which is very understandable, considering she barely would even give her significant other a shred of her own love.
With regular friendships, however, Viscus is incredibly attached to each of those she considers one of her allies. She stays loyal through thick and thin, and though she normally holds grudges quite easily, with these specific others, most arguments are like sibling arguments. She'll hate them one second and then the next second completely forget about it and forgive them. It takes a lot to get her to let go of her friends, no matter how cruel they may be to her, or how much they are using her. She loves her friends like she would've her family, and cherishes every second with them, and looks back on memories happy rather than feeling sad, appreciating every second she enjoyed with them.
Abilities:
Cell Grafting:
Viscusvoréntomon is one covered by scars, most of them because of this ability. Vis has the power to use her own cells and graft them onto others. She can also use other's cells to graft them to others, or even herself. The art of Cell Grafting is delicate, and takes a lot of precision and perfection, with one simple mistake possibly causing something catastrophic to happen, to herself or who she's grafting the cells onto. She uses her front legs to weave the cells together, like stitching the wound back together with the threads of the cells. It can be stopped by an injury to either one of her front raptorial legs.
Essence Detection:
Viscusvoréntomon's next ability is called Essence Detection, or more like Emotion Detection. With this ability, her antennas atop her head are able to detect the emotions, or life force of beings. It can be a cow, a human, or another dragon. It tells her how strong the other being is, or tells her their current emotion at the time. The antennae send signals to her brain that tell her what they're feeling at the time, and also help her tell who needs help first if there's a lot of injured dragons around.
Acid Generation:
This ability is a lot like a venom dragon ability, except hers, she has to use plants to do this. Small holes in her abdomen absorb the photosynthesis energy from plants, and mixes that with toxic fumes inside her abdomen, to create and acid. This acid then travels through a tube up her body, and gets stored in two sacs in her chest above her lungs that she calls her "venom sacs." When she bites into prey, it secretes this toxic acid onto her prey, which then burns through their skin, or fur, or scales. When it reaches their veins, it travels down to their lungs, and from there, a plant sprout inside, that swiftly grows inside their lungs, and makes it hard to breathe. This plant stays inside their lungs for 15 minutes, and then dies. This ability often isn't fatal on others her size, but it can be extremely deadly for smaller things like a horse or a cow
Hallucinogenic Fumes:
In her abdomen, she has more sacs that she calls the "fume sacs," which hold a gas inside that can cause some very unpleasant hallucinations if breathed in. With the carbon dioxide she breathes in, instead of breathing it out, it gets stored in those sacs and turned into the gas. When the sacs are full, she begins to breathe out carbon dioxide normally. When they are full, her abdomen is slightly increased in size, as a way of warning those who knows what she can do to not mess with her. These sacs can take up to 24 hours to fill up, and when she wishes to release the fumes, they come out of tiny holes on the sides of her abdomen that when breathed in, cause hallucinations. These hallucinations can range from mild ones like seeing prey in the distance, to major ones that make it look like you're in sleep paralysis. It really depends on who breathed it in, and how much was inhaled.

Affiliations:
Open- PM me!
Vashan Basmu: A friend of hers.
Aodhan: Another friend.
Aoibheann: Her closest friend. Despite Aoib's cruel nature, Viscus is quite fond of her, even though they don't talk as much. Aoibheann was there for her, unlike many other dragons who were disgusted by her appearance, and her very questionable behavior with her mates. She often finds serenity in the presence of Aoib, and loves her dearly, even if she may not feel the same. Viscus has trusted Aoib for a long time, and will continue to until the day she dies, whatever may happen with their friendship. Viscus will always be there for Aoib if she ever needed her to be.
Mal' Razia: Not a friendship, but rather a foe in terror. Viscus is petrified at the sight of Mal' Razia. Her eerie calmness and atrocious appearance are something she never thought she'd have a competition with, but now, she's met her match. She rarely speaks to this dragon, and when she does, she barely manages to not tremble and stutter. While she may not be that scary in general appearance, the thought that she also ate her own mate and wears his skeleton as a trophy? It chills Viscus to her bones. She fears possibly ever getting close to Mal' even to be considered acquaintances with her.
Kin:
Most of her kin are dead, or she doesn't even know who they are. But she has many, many offspring... she had one egg sac, that held approximately 200 hatchlings, but most of them probably died. She expects that only about 10 are still alive at this time.
Crush:
Open- PM me!
Mate:
Open- PM me!
Other:
Well, I don't know who Bee is but I'm guessing that's Bewitched, so thanks for letting me have the earth dragon spot. <3
A few of her abilities seem a lot like a venom dragon's abilities, so I tried to do a plant spin on them. Hopefully they're acceptable when she's completed. ^^
I just noticed, one of her abilities is basically a giant fart that stinks so bad that you start to hallucinate. 😭
