Vilous | Gliding Male Nevrean

Hello Vilous fans!

Presented in this artwork piece, is a male Nevrean who is enjoying his time gliding whilst putting his brilliant feathers on display! Though the Nevrean race is known as more of a dinosaur and bird-like people with regards to aesthetics, the males of this species show more features which are similar to that of birds when compared with their female counterparts. A contrasted similarity shared with that of dinosaurs.

This artwork just displays a representative example of how males look akin to birds!

Concept artwork of this is based off of Kiki CR’s initial idea and sketch. Thusly, this piece is a virtual collaborative effort between Kiki and Mick!

Male Nevreans are known to possess the ability to glide, due to their long wings and overall light weight bodies. This is in stark contrast to the specifics of the females, which have short plumage and overall heavier weights. However, as we've mentioned in the past FA journal for lore questions, the matter with regards to male Nevreans and their strict range of flight ability is still under consideration.

1. Q: Can Male Nevreans really fly?

A:  In the current state of the canon, they are guaranteed to be able to glide, given their light bodies and wing spans.

Speaking of flight, specifically, they cannot achieve this due to the size ratio of their body to wings, if we were to consider it from logical and/or physical reasons. However due to how Planet Tal's gravity, force of wind and atmospheric composition, etc. may be completely different from that of Earth, these things cannot be decided as of yet due to the need for careful considerations towards Canon and Timelines/effects.

Therefore, the canon on this element in particular might change greatly in the future, and there is a possibility that the concept of a flight boundary and gliding is different from that of Earth.

(Note: Nevrean children are still capable of flight regardless of gender. To learn more, head to section in Vilous Wiki.)

In addition to the above retroactive information, if there is such an external cause within the environment surrounding them, such as the existence of an ascending air current, it may grant them the ability to achieve flight.

However, as the natural environment of Planet Tal needs to be considered more in depth, this concept is also still slated to undergo refinement in the future.
