Sex:

The male serpopard is simply known as a serpopard, and the females are referred to as serpopardess, which like the large cats found on African plains. Their offspring are known as cubes.

Appearance:

The serpopards have similar fur coats to the common leopard, covered in spots. However, their coats can vary into different colours. The other main physical feature of the serpopards are the fact that they have long serpentine necks, as seen in images shared on this page.

Mating:

The serpopards are chaotic creatures, but that does not mean that they treat their own personal lives with recklessness. In most accounts, serpopards are found in pairs, usually with their mate. In artworks, the two have their necks intertwined as a show of strength, which brings the two together as mates. In their thirty year life span, a serpopardess may have up to three different litters of cubs, giving birth to up to six at a time.

Hunting:

Serpopards can hunt on their own, but also in their hunted pairs. They also teach their cubs when they come of age, but all do enjoy the thrill of the hunt. Whether its a wild deer-like creature or tearing humans limb from limb for fun, serpopards are hunters.

Temperament:

Serpopards can be playful and loving like most large cats are. But untamed, they will attack unprovoked. Chaos is in their nature. Do not attempt to tame unless you are a trained individual.

Rarity:

Sometimes the serpopards have furs that look like serpents. Other than that, some serpopards can possess magical powers if blessed by a human.
