Adopt Species - Skimmers Reference Sheet by FuyusFox

So in my obsession with breezies I felt the need to make my own sort of subspecies of them that were based more around bugs of different sorts.

These guys are Skimmers. They’re a mixture of ponies and various water bugs such as dragonflies and water darters.

As time’s gone on they’ve kind of become they’re own thing. These guys live in a grotto that exists within my pony country of Sumare. If you want to learn more about them then please check out this group. There’s information on them there as well as rules and other designs of the species.

This information is outdated! Things have changed. The world expanded!
Please check out the group for them for more info-The-Breezie-Grotto

And for more information on this species and what’s new please check out this journal: Information - Skimmers

And another one. Only one more species after this.

I will probably add more, but this is what I have for now.

This is a CLOSED species for the time being. That means do not make one unless you have permission from me.

Habits:
Skimmers like to live near still water such as ponds and lakes. They enjoy densely vegitated areas and build their homes on the ground in the bases of plants. Skimmers are also very skittish. They don’t like open air so they mainly travel by ‘skimming’ the top of the water. Oftentimes they are seen as being the rarest breezie species around, but this is mainly due to their shy nature.

They have a love of shiny things and like to find trinkets and baubles to make accessories out of.

Babies are able to walk super quick and since the parents don’t fly high too often they end up being very independent from a young age. Skimming the water is something that’s learned when they get older though, so young Skimmers end up propelling themselves through the water like tiny motorboats.

Skimmer Wings are very delicate. When flying you can’t really see them as they flap too fast, much like a dragonfly’s. When still you can easily see intricate designs on each wing.

Skimmers don’t actually have full antennae, but they do have small sensors on their heads.
