Glitchies (Species)

Glitchies are a Scyria-only dragon breed. No Glitchies can be found on Sornieth anymore after the Consoleglitch's banishment from Sornieth.

Creation
Glitches are a Code Flight breed. Because the Code Flight was the smallest flight, Consoleglitch sought to make an aggressive breed. Unlike most flights, Consoleglitch's Ancient was a much more tame version of the Glitchie.

She put together the most aggressive traits in a breed in the hopes that these Glitchies would be able to win every fight for Dominance. However, she failed to realise that Glitchies were extremely unbalanced, with very poor defense. When they were found alone, almost every other breed could beat them in a fight.

Extinction from Sornieth
After the Consoleglitch was banished from Sornieth for her crimes against the other flights, Glitchies either found themselves following their deity, or were killed by other flights as their numbers dwindled. The only proof they ever existed on Sornieth are the carcasses left behind.

Physical Appearance
Glitchies are thin and wiry, with muscly arms and legs built to fight. They are quite long, like Spirals, but bigger and bulkier. Because of the large horns atop their heads, they have strong necks to hold their heads up.

The muzzle of a Glitchie resembles that of an alligator, thin and sharp. Notably, their tails also have four to six spines that often lay flat when neutral, and flare up when threatened. These spines are also shock-proof, and good for Glitchies to touch dangerous objects like open circuits and sockets.

Diet
Glitchies have a diet that consists primarily of fish and other meat. They are built to be efficient fishers, able to use their long muzzles to snap fish directly from water, or using their tail spines to pick fish up. Often, the tail-fishing method is only used when water is not accessible easily like in catfish holes, or when stealth is required.

However, Glitchies have also developed a taste for fruit when other food sources or not available. They use their tails to reach for fruits from trees, and have shown favouring of melons in particular. One way to tell if a Glitchie was around recently is to look for fruit rinds, especially watermelons.

Glitchies do not eat insects.
