Selkra

The Selkra are a serpent-like species found in the subtropical forests and southern jungles of Bazwebwe but they're also some Selkra colonies called soolks discovered in the continent of Lazzeatir. They have come from two entities, Burren Aslick the king of serpents and Lura ramk the goddess of the moon. Their societal structure is based on their genetics or their tail and eye color and tail length if we're getting into specifics, they call this the Blood Hierarchy. Basically, on the top of the hierarchy red bloods and purple bloods are the ones with power and rule over the Selkra colonies call shoolks while on the very bottom of the hierarchy blue Selkras are peasants and aren't really cared about but they're accepted into the shoolks regardless.

Physical Description and Physique
Selkra's are semi-aquatic serpents that are half snake and half feline [also half siren but I will get to that later]. They have a snake-like tail, patches of scales all over their body and long rounded ears kind of similar to a dragon. Their cat-like features are almost nonexistent due to some complications surrounding Burren's and Lura's relationship over the years and something else but they still kept their instincts regardless. They also have webbed hands and feet when having contact with water which came from a siren named Vivialori that Burren secretly had an affair with. Selkras are an 'Athletic Build' due to their climate in the southern jungles and subtropical forests of Bazwebwe.

Diet
Most Selkras are pescatarians, meaning their usual ration contains fruit, fish and other seafood, fresh vegetables, dairy, nuts, and whole grains. Selkras can't eat anything with theobromine. (They kind of can though but whatever)

Frost
Frost is like a heat but much more different than one, when a Selkra gets a frost they will feel cold and a need to find warmth which will usually lead to them finding body warmth which will lead to cuddling which will lead to sex. This SHOULD NOT be confused with frostbite which can be dangerous to Selkras.

Kithood
A Selkra kit is born in a shoolk nursery blind, the deilver would usually pay as much attention to the kit and their 4-6 siblings as possible. Their tails are only little stubs and they would only communicate through squeals due to the lack of knowledge of their own language, for 6 months they're the size of a normal human infant.

For two years they will drink the deilver's pink and surprisingly very sweet milk that will grow the baby like normal but will also start hardening the outer tail which is extremely soft in their infant years. Their eyes will start to open when they're two weeks old, this is a important process due to the hypnotic ability they have.
