Umbral Sphinx

Splitting from its ancestor, the Umbral Sphinx has spread throughout the forests that thrive along the coastlines of Dixon and Darwin, and has itself come to thrive in these tropical regions. Now crepuscular by nature, they are most active around the times of dawn and dusk, utilizing these brief moments of twilight in order to go out and search for food. As most current predators in these forests aren't active during these times, the Umbral Sphinxes have little to fear as they gorge themselves on a variety of fruits and small creatures. When not out hunting, they will retreat to small burrows and hollows so that they may rest in relative safety.

Like their ancestor, the males possess a notable crest which they use to signify their health and strength to both potential challengers and mates. However, unlike the Regal Sphinx, both genders are fairly colorful, with the only real distinction being the crest. While they are still monogamous in nature, they will often share their nests with other mated pairs. Because of this increase in regards to their social nature, they now produce a wider range of pips and squeaks from their tail-nostrils, even utilizing the ring of fleshy bits to help alter the sound to a degree by contracting and relaxing them. Now the woodlands and rainforests of Darwin and Dixon are awash in a chorus of chirps each dawn and dusk.

Umbral Sphinxes can swim, and are willing to migrate across small rivers ands streams in order to find new nesting grounds. Being fairly rapid breeders, this can occur quite frequently.
