Idrabark 2.0

Behaviour

Idrabarks are flesh and blood creatures, and are not actually made of wood. They have a wooden armor, and horns. The different armor pieces and horns will grow in as it ages, they are not removable without severely hurting the creature. Their armor is used for defense and camouflage. Idrabarks live either alone or in pairs. Although they are not territorial, they may form temporary alliances with others in their species to hunt large prey. Idrabarks can eat both meat and berries, but they have a major preference towards meat. They typically only eat berries when prey is scarce. Idrabarks are extremely intelligent and are self-aware of their placement near the bottom of the food chain. They seem to have very frequent anxiety because of it. Idrabarks are essentially Sonaria's equivalent to humans, as they can speak and pretty much think and act like humans, though they live a different lifestyle. For example, in order to avoid attracting unwanted attention, they may decide not to speak unless they feel very safe. Idrabarks are incredibly fast and vicious when hunting prey; however, outside of the hunt they are sensitive and emotional creatures. They are also picky eaters, only eating what they kill, and think scavenged meat is absolutely disgusting. Instead, Idrabarks use scavenged meat to make traps. They hide in trees while other creatures try to eat the bait below them. Since an Idrabark spear is a part of their bodies akin to a bone, a broken one is very painful to them. Idrabarks have a mutually beneficial relationship with the large, peaceful creatures of the forest, such as Verdant Warden, Gramoss, and Yggdragstyx. The Idrabark use their keen eyes to watch for predators and scout ahead for food. In return, the large creature will offer a safe space for the Idrabark to rest when it is vulnerable, as their size deters most predators. Young Idrabarks are extremely feral, and often frustrate their own parents. Idrabarks are very clean creatures and may spend up to an hour grooming themselves after a kill or a mud roll. They are very soft and fluffy as a result of this.

Apperance

The Idrabark assumes a bipedal, humanoid appearance with some features bearing a resemblance to predatory avians. The major portions of their anatomy - the chest, limbs and face - are covered in a protective casing of birch tree bark, revealing patches of dull orange skin. Their five-fingered hands end in long, curved claws while their two-toed feet are tipped in a prominent sickle-shaped claw. Their face is oddly human, with their only animal-like features being their 'beak' and their vivid two-toned eyes. Two curved, pronged 'horns' emerge from the upper part of the eye between a feather-like eye-cover that extends to the nape of the neck in males and to the shoulders in females. The shoulders and upper back are covered in addition. Their tail has eight individual segments and is roughly the same length as their body.
