Demoted

Most female taschevah keep phallums, which is defined as: " A single female in the company of several males which rank in specific orders according to their duties as phalli. One male will be her favored and loving companion, while others may rank as guardians and friends." Although females are fully capable of taking care of themselves against other taschevah, they are not as capable of fending off extremely large predators and so they accept multiple males as a form of protection. Women prefer to reproduce with their chosen companion, though it's not unheard of for them to spend time with lower ranking males. In most phallums, females and their chosen companion are the highest ranking and most doses of punishment (which is fairly uncommon), though fair, can sometimes be a bit brutal if necessary.


Example: This female Mechaelen is giving a lower ranking male a what for and likely a severe demotion in status. This may seem over the top, but there is no likelihood of injury nor backlash (unless their punishment was unwarranted, in which case an all out fight may ensue- again, not very common).

Dream Sketch: Quiet Beach

I had a dream last night about a beach with a single Nimbwe taschevah walking along it. Although this isn't perfect, it's got the right vibe. The rock in the water should be about, oh, 5 times more massive. But as I said, it's close enough :)

2011 Taschevah Horn design: Mechaelen

I did something AWESOME. A horn :3

The new horn.


A. Horn is more claw-hoof like in texture with growth marks being fairly visible. Color has variations like hooves or claws.

B. Morse spots are still visible on the horns. They are bright, shiny, areas of calcium. Think of a pearl. It is possible for small pieces of these to chip off as the horn grows, but the calcium is always replaced.

C. Soft, squishy pad is similar to the bulb and frog of a horses hooves. The apex of the frog runs completely down the center underside of the horn as well as the surrounding sole. The nautiloid is now found inside the horn itself, being a nerve bundle that quite simply resembles the nautilus as tendril nerves spread from the spiral head to the end of the frog.

Slight design changes made to the knuckles. That will be worked out later.
