Description

This here's another one of a number of aliens requested by :iconshadow-dj: for me to bring to life.

I'll admit, the legs of this guy through me off a little bit. I might come back later to redo them, but can you blame me? I've only ever drawn four hooved legs! Also, I couldn't necessarily get red-violet as requested - can you believe it's practically the one color I don't have? - so here's the best I got!

Without further ado, onto the facts!

Name: Capriscorn

Species: G'raries

Homeworld: Anur G’rnay

Powers/abilities: Capriscorn has powerful psyonic abilities that allow him to create a green energy barrier around himself for protection; when in use, the grooves of his horns glow the same color. This shield is very durable and can take a multitude of heavy blows before collapsing.

G'raries can charge at lightning speeds and their powerful horns and skull to smash through a multitude of objects, ranging from concrete to pure steel.

G'raries have subtle telepathic powers that allow them to delicately influence the minds of most non-sentient lifeforms.

Capriscorn had mild levitation powers and are commonly seen floating at least half a foot above the ground.

G'raries are immune to Coorodium.


Weaknesses: G'raries have incredible difficulty influencing the minds of sentient species (although it is noted that Appoplexians are rather easily manipulated regardless).

Capriscorn has trouble changing direction once he has started to charge, as the momentum he has is too great for him to break and make sharp turns.

It is noted that the species are rather awkward when they are not floating, as they float virtually wherever they go during whatever they are doing.

Using his psyonic powers takes great concentration and practice. If Capriscorn's focus is broken or if he becomes distracted, the shield will drop and leave him defenseless.

Etymology: Capriscorn is a portmanteau of the words "Capricorn" and "scorn". The former is one of the twelve Zodiac symbols, a mythological creature whose upper half is that of a mountain goat and whose bottom half is that of a fish. The later means "to treat or regard with contempt or disdain".

Trivia: The species name comes the constellation, Aries, a ram with a golden fleece that was sought out by Jason and the Argonauts in Greek mythology.

Capriscorn is based on satyrs/fauns and classic depicts of Satan. Other inspirations include the Greek god, Pan, and the fan-made alien, Smashface, created by :iconkjmarch:.

G'raries are shepherds by nature and are very protective of their flocks or whatever they consider to be theirs. They can also be very persuasive and manipulative and have even managed to talk the Incursean armada out of attempting to conquer their home planet on several occasions, although it has been noted that they instead turned the Incursean's attention towards other planets in solar systems far away from their own.

When asked if Capriscorn and The Zilch share the same homeworld, CreaturemasterProd's  response was "It's a big universe out there and an even bigger multiverse. There could be dimensions out there where one species evolved and there could be dimensions where neither of them evolved to become the dominant, sentient species of Anur G'rnay. There could be dimensions out there where both species evolved on the same planet and the Capriscorn don't even know The Zilch exist due to their powers. Really, it all depends on dimension you happen to be passing through at any given time."
