• The Wax Wyrms home lays inside the Bermuda Triangle. A super continent can be found within the triangle and its unable to be seen when outside triangle. This land mass is physically larger than the Bermuda triangle. No one is able to explain why the inside of the Triangle is larger than the outside. Many Wax Wyrms believe it’s due to a strange, ancient magic that transported their land to Earth. This land is called Wynne.•Wynne is home to many plants an animals not seen elsewhere on earth. Mushrooms that can grow taller than trees, rodent creatures with stingers ,etc. Humans Wyrms will trade animals for food and live stock.•Wax Wyrms and humans met on accident when a lost air craft crashed in the island. The pilot survived and managed to return home with the help of the Wyrms. The meeting of these two races didn’t end in blood shed but it did lead to high tensions. Humans were not too fond of alien like creatures hiding in a land that shouldn’t exist.•Many Wyrms and Humans hate each other but there are groups on both sides that are trying to peacefully unite their species. There are ambassadors both in Wynne and Earth’s normal inhabited continents.

•LOCATIONS•

•Mist Murk Woods: Wax Wyrms that decide to visit or even live here are met with a large forest with a thick canopy. Not much natural light gets though and the forest is cool and filled with an ever present mist. Glowing mushrooms, berries, and bugs are common throughout the woods.•Eon Caves: A vast cave system that is filled with massive glowing crystals. Fossils large and small can be found dotted along the cave walls. Wyrms who wish to study the history and/or have a taste for adventure love to explore the caves; they must beware though as it is easy to get lost and there is some very dangerous, unexplored areas.•Sea Crest: A costal town that lives on a cliff overlooking the ocean. Some Wyrms carve their homes in the cliff face while others build on the top of the cliff. This town is full artisans and life. It is a popular stop for artist and musicians along with Wax Wyrms who wish to enjoy fun festivals.•Field of the Fallen: A massive flower field filled with almost any flower imaginable. This was once a site of a massive battle where hundreds of Wyrms have died. Nature has reclaimed it. Wyrms will visit to enjoy the beauty of the field and pay their respect to their fallen ancestors.•Oasis of Tar: Within a red, fossil filled desert lays a large pool of tar. Many creatures big and small have fallen victim to the tar pit. Curious Wyrms will come see the tar pool and others come to enjoy the warm sand and dunes.•Shine City: Wyrms that have grown a fondness of human architecture and technology have built a city full of neon lights and modern technology. It is a hub for scientific growth and markets. Great place to visit if a Wax Wyrm has a cyber punk dream.•Spire Peak Mountains:The spire peaks are tall mountains that are covered in snow while their valleys have beautiful lakes and forest. Many towns are nestled in these valleys. Hunting and farming are prominent in these mountains.•Edge of the World: The edge of the world is a frozen land that is closest to the exit of the Bermuda Triangle. Spires of ice reach the sky while vast sheets of ice cover the ground. Only the most competent explorers and scientist are allowed to explore this area, but it doesn’t stop novices from trying to see the ice spires.

•SCALING•

*Blue highlights are where scales can be located
—
•All Wax Wyrms must have scaling on them (Minimum of 10% of the body must be covered). These scales are made of a waxy substance and once the scales shed they can be melted down for many uses. (Building, Candles, Cooking, etc.)•These scales will shed naturally around 2-3 times a year. If a scale is ripped out before it’s time to shed it’ll cause the Wyrm pain and possible bleeding.•Wax Wyrms have a variety of scale patterns and colors (Max of 3 scale colors on character). The locations where scales can be found on the body is shown below.•Scaling cannot cover more than 50% of the body so choose your locations wisely.

•FUR•

•Wax Wyrms have fluffy bodies when there’s no scales covering the areas with fur. Fur length and texture will vary from Wyrm to Wyrm.•Most Wax Wyrms will have large, fluffy manes that collect pollen and protect their neck. If there’s no scaling on the neck the fur can be even thicker.•Fur can have almost any color and patterns. The only patterns not seen are patterns that aren’t nature in look. Examples: Checker board, repeating patterns, floral patterns, sharp triangles/squares/perfect circles.

•Wings•

•Wax Wyrms have wings similar to that of a flying insect. They are transparent and don’t fold like bird wings. They can bend and flex though, so they can take a decent beating.•Their wings can come in any color but they must have some transparency to them. The wings can have some small bioluminescent specks and the wing membranes themselves have a glossy look.•The wings of a Wax Wyrm come in many shapes and sizes as shown above. They only have 1 set of these wings though.

This is due to fur.

•Mouth & Blood•

•Wax Wyrm’s teeth have venom that cause stinging pain and paralysis around the site of the bite. It’s not usually lethal to other Wyrms or Humans, but it is not a fun experience to have.•The mouth, gums, and tongue are always the same color of the eyes of the Wyrm. Blood color has nothing to do with the color of the mouth.•Wyrm’s teeth replace themselves around every 10 years of so.•Wax Wyrms have red blood much like humans. It shimmer a bit in the light. Due to this their flesh is also pink/red when sliced.•The skin of a Wyrm can range from light peach to blacks and browns.

•Plants & Flowers•

They grow more frequently during the warmer seasons.•The plant that grow can all be the same type of plant or a mix of multiple types of plants.
•On random occasions Wax Wyrms will grow berries on their fur. These berries are grown in almost any hue though they tend to be pastel in color.•These berries have a waxy coating but are quite tasty! They are used in foods and medicines.•Some berries will glow faintly and the more the berry glows, the more valuable it is.
