Anatomy
Rufaloos have a round flexible body that is usually coverd in a thin layer of fur. They have short legs, their legs are never longer than their torso. The majority of them also have long arms that they can stretch at any length they want.

Flexibility
Rufaloos have an extremely soft, flexible, light, and robust body that allows them to survive falls from great heights and have a high pain tolerance. They can stretch their bodies to a limited amount, with the exception of their arms, which can stretch extremely far.
Internal Biology
Body info
Rufaloos have no bones in their bodies but it is unknown if they have any organs
Life cycle
Rufaloos are born from fruit that comes from a magical tree, a tree known as the Raloo tree. At first the Rufaloo are very tiny and very fluffy; they do not have wings at this stage, and their ability to stretch their arms is very limited. As they reach the child stage, their wings will start growing as they get more magic. As adults, they will get the full ability to stretch out their limbs, and their wings will start to float due to the magic. Rufaloos who have less magic than others will not have floating wings.
Diet and nutrition
Rufalos can and will eat anything. At least they think they can...
According to some more informations from my dreams... The body of a Rufaloo digests the stuff they eat and turns it into magic, which helps them live and function. Thanks to this, they have a wide range of things they can eat, but there's a limit! Anything that cannot be digested in the span of 72 hours gets violently rejected by their bodies. Organic matter is fine, fast, and easy, but anything like solid objects, stuff made of plastic, stones, and metals that can take a long time causes problems.
Rufaloos take advantage of this biological quirk to use their bodies for temporary storage when they have no better options, but they must remember to empty their stomachs of anything indigestible, or else they get very ill.

Conditions and Diseases
Magic fatigue
Rufaloos use magic enery to strech their limbs... when they run out of magical energy they can get magic fatigue, they get super exausted and dizzy... they require food or magic to feel better. During Magic fatigue a Rufaloo can no longer strech out thier limbs to any ridiculous lenght.
Food sickness
When Rufaloos eat anything that cannot be digested by their bodies in less than 72 hours, they start to get very sick. The first symptom they experience is severe stomach discomfort and high fever. The fever is their body attempting to warm up their stomach content to make it easier to digest; if that fails, they will rapidly start experiencing symptoms similar to indigestion that get progressively worse; they get stomach pain and nausea that only get stronger as time goes by. All the symptoms will get progressively worse until they have no other choice but to throw up. After vomiting, they will have to wait a few hours for their body to no longer be in panic mode if they want to eat again; any attempt to eat before full recovery will result in vomiting again.
