This is Dydyl the ralidan (Izurnadis ralidani)from a parallel universe. Her kind are of the Klagosian order, but, have a different evolutionary history. She is usually thought of by her owner as 'He', and is basically an alien falcon. Dydyl has retracting venomous spines on her belly which subdue prey--usually small birds and gliding lizards. Dydyl can catch fish, but, is usually an avian type hunter. Dydyl makes a silken nest similar to that of certain spiders. Ralidans are very intelligent, about the IQ of a Crow.

14 Jun 2001	Baz Jinx Dwornik	Loading... Sounds like you have a lot to say about ravens. For some reason, this little critter looks like she's trying to sneak into a cookie jar. ( ;
2 Sep 2001	Kerri Williamson(DemonLlama)	Loading... I've always loved ravens.And magpies too.sighTry www.shades-of-night.com.But THIS is cute!Although, if I had one of these as a pet...well I don't think I would get many visitors.

20 Feb 2003	Galaxy1988K	Loading... No offence, but it looks like a grounded Wyvern...forgot to walk away Eric R. Vondell ~ 'Tralfaz Aquilleon' replies: "MCG +05-31-123; R.A. = 13h02m.9, Decl. = +32D16M, equinox 1950.0...I know the feeling when one's home sun goes Nova....But, I wouldn't leave the whole Galaxy to come to this infinitesimally teeny no account rock! I'm from a place just a little bit closer (170,000 ly Dir=LMC) ~ unfortunately, my particular ill fated colony ship blundered across this wretched little planet about 35,000 years ago. ( Now why couldn't it have been Pern instead?sobs bitterly over the injustice of fate ) For a short time we even had quite a civilization, but, the Human body type we are forced to inhabit is equipped with such a thick, crude, slow, and primitive brain, that; over consecutive life times most of us have forgotten the truth of our origins. "
22 Feb 2004	Uta ´Freawyn´ Hesse	Loading... okay! Erm. Another uncommented picture by me, and it seems it not the last one. So I'll make a pause again and then come back later... how are you always able to do the architecter so fine? It looks exactly like I would love to give my picture scenes the right look.... I could get jealous on your talent when it comes to this! Really! Erm. Yes, the creasture is also quite... nice... it looks like a really friendly little pet. Is it?
