Rogue Careuleus Malefactors
{::GENERAL::}
{::APPEARANCE::}
{::BEHAVIOR::}
Caeruleus Malefactors, by nature, are very social creatures. They prefer to live amongst their own kind in small or large groups (often called 'flocks' despite them being wingless), or even in the company of other species entirely.
Males are dominant to females, and most smaller family groups often consist of one or two related males, their mates and offspring. Members of the species often pair for life (though some males prefer to hold small harems of females), staying devoted to their mate until circumstance no longer allows them to be.

{::VARIATIONS::}
{::BREED VARIANTS::}
Caeruleus Malefactors, like many species of birds, exhibit what is known as 'Sexual Dimorphism', which means males and females look drastically different in color. Color of the species is entirely dependant on specific sub-species, of which there are three. Males of the Cyana sub-species are typically shades of dark blue with medium-gray to white bellies, and can have rear stripes that are slightly lighter or darker than their pelts. Females tend to be shades of gray-browns with blue markings (either rear stripes or full body back splashes), to better camoflage them when taking care of their offspring. Males also always have a mane of pure black in color, while females may have a short tuft of fur that blends into their marking of the same color.
Males of the Chinesis sub-species exhibit vivid green pelts with light gray to white bellies and light green manes, and can have fading spots along their legs as well as small stripes on their faces. -WIP-
{::COLOR MUTATIONS::}
Three pigment abnormalities have been seen within this species: Albinism (pure white pelt with red eyes and bright pink noses and ears), Leucism (paler than normal pelt colors, with pale markings/eyes and dark pink noses) & Melanism (near black or pure black pelt colors with light green eyes). Albinism is the most common of these anomalies, with 10% of all Caeruleus Malefactors exhibiting this trait. Melanism & Leucism account for 5% each. All color morphs are genetic and possible to be inherited but both parents must be carriers of the gene for the cubs to be possible of exhibiting them.
