Physical Traits
Cymbrose have wing ears that are used to glide across the vast height of their habitat. These wings are too small for flight but some can learn magic to allow them to use their wings for flight.
They have large hands and sometimes large forearms as well which helps with general strength in their limbs. They have three toes and the bottom of their feet is covered by a single large pawpad that helps with sensing the environment. Their bodis are coverd in a thin layer of soft fur that keeps them insulated from outside temperatures. Most Cymbrose have spotted markings all over their bodies although all Cymbrose have a collored underbelly marking that shares the same color as their blood.
Cymbrose have fluffy hair when they are young but when they are adults their hair might transform nto whats known as living hair. Living hair moves on its own or it can also be controled by the cymbrose. Living hair is semi permenent, meaning that once they have it it doesnt change on its own unless it is cut. Cutting living hair snt painfull but it is an unpleasant sencation, after being cut it can be regrown in any way the Cymbrose wants.
Internal Biology
The Cymbrose heart is a crystal core that generates ichor blood which flows through their bodies. The ichor is very potent in magic, this allows them to heal almost instantly, but if they get severe injuries too many times in a short period it can cause their heart to get depleted which can cause weakness and other very unpleasant side effects. A cymbrose's emotional state can also have a major impact on their magic.
Hybrids Cymbrose can experince adverse health effects due to the conflicting types of blood created by their mixed cores.
Life cycle
Most Cymbrose are born in the Ambrosia Springs, a heavenly sanctuary where the Ambrosian core is located. When a fragment of the core is placed in the holy fluids, an egg is formed around it. After some time a baby will hatch from it. When the infant becomes older, they are brought along with other children, where they will be taught the way of life by their elders. The things they are taught depend on the culture they are from, but eventually, when they become adults, they will be assimilated with the rest of society, where they will find a purpose to fulfill for the rest of their existence. The jobs that a Cymbrose can get are limitless, as they can travel to many dimensions via the portals where they can take on various tasks.
Cymbrose are immortal, and thus they cannot die from aging, especially in their home realm. If they leave their home realm, they will slowly turn into stone due to their magic depleting over time. This process can also be accelerated if they use too much of their magic. The only way for Cymbrose to end their lives is by ascension. To be eligible for ascension, a Cymbrose must become completely pure of heart; to obtain true purity, they must be completely stable, and they must be in a state of inner bliss. They must then complete various trials and challenges to prove that they are truly ready for ascension. Once they ascend, their bodies will be turned into energy that will be sacrificed to be one with their realm, and their core will become one with the Ambrosian core once more.
Other things
Cymbrose who have become statues can be revived if their core is placed into fluid from the ambrosian fluid, but the longer the symbro has been in that state the more memories they would have lost.
Diet and nutrition
Cymbrose teeth are straight and might look ineffective, but do not be fooled; they are surprisingly powerful. They are capable of breaking through hardwood and even stone; they can easily break bones. This powerful bite helps them with their omnivore diet. Cymbrose can eat literally anything, but they prefer to eat regular organic food, as it's easier to digest and it also simply tastes better in general..
Conditions and Diseases
Corruption
Cymbrose who fall into complete despair will get tainted by a dreadful disease known as corruption. Corrupted Cymbrose will turn into dangerous monsters, and they will spread misery to anyone who encounters them. It is not known if there is any cure to this curse. One way Cymbrose has tried to combat this is by embracing over-positivity (also known as toxic positivity) in nearly everything they do. An unfortunate result of this is that any sign of unwellness or mental illness is heavily stigmatized.
