-make up an entire new species and draw an official reference sheet for no reason other than an OC for a random fandom because you got distracted from the original thing you were planning on doing?
Yeah. Me too.
Meet the Rishi species! This is a mostly closed species. I think. I haven't decided yet-
Might just be available in adopts from me :)
Character depicted for the sheet is Raven.

Rishis don't have any special "powers" persay. They can switch between their forms, usually following their emotions. Cat = more happy and peaceful. Dragon = angry, sad, fearful, etc. Though, they can swap when they want as well.
They are very wild creatures, and are usually aggressive and fight anyone that comes across them. Many deaths are reported per year at the hands of a Rishi.
They have sharp teeth and claws that can tear through most anything. Their feathers are stronger than most, and sharp as well, at least in their dragon form.
They can see in the dark, and use their wings to navigate in tight caverns, sensing the side of the caves with the ends of their feathers. They have feeling in their feathers, and therefore mild control over it. That is also why the feathers are stronger than most, otherwise, it would cause them a lot of pain. When feathers are dead, they sort of just fall off the wing. It will feel like a bit of a pinch, but will otherwise not do anything to the Rishi.
Being able to move their feathers in the wind to give more control during flight, gives them the agility they need to be expert fliers. They are very quick while flying, and can dodge almost anything in the air. They are very hard to out run while they're flying.
They prefer being out in the open areas more than in closed caverns, and enjoy sunlight. They dislike water. Also hates rain.
Most food they eat are prey they catch. However, if there is not enough to sustain them, they will eat other things, such as berries or plant roots. They usually eat as much as a bear, though can eat less while in their cat forms.
Their appearances follow that of any species of cats, and are generally either very very simple, or completely complicated beyond reason. Unnatural fur and feather colors can occur, though are rare. Unnatural eye colors are more common. Claws and teeth are always a bright white.
