Dragoncat
Twilit wildcat: Aerofelis
Who else does this? To give you some examples, here are three of my reports for a group on Deviant Art that specializes in it.
I also have reports on groudon and the tepig line, but you get the idea. Ask if you want to see those...so yeah, anyone else enjoy doing this? And any comments on the ones I posted?
Druddigon
Draco dracautes specus
Scientific name translations
Draco: dragon
Dracautes: dragon jagged rock
Specus: cave
Appearance
Dragons with large claws and spikes on the cheeks, legs, and tail. Their wings have a jagged appearance. They are mostly blue colored, except for the head, which is red. Males have larger spikes, hatchlings have no spikes.
Habitat
Druddigons are native to the Unova region. They make their dens in caves, and mainly inhabit canyons and mountain ranges. But they have been sighted in ancient structures such as Dragonspiral Tower.
Diet
Like many dragons, druddigons are carnivores. They will prey upon fish, rodents, birds, basically anything they can catch. A lone druddigon is more likely to choose smaller meals like patrats/watchogs and pidoves/tranquills/unfezants. Druddigons that are part of a pack will work together to take down larger prey like blitzles/zebstrikas.
Social Behavior
Reptiles such as dragons are often solitary creatures, meeting only to breed and raise young. Not the case with druddigons. They have a social structure very similar to that of canines. Most individuals are part of a pack. Packs travel and hunt together, and each pack has a cave that they all call home. When a pack gets too large for the cave, some of the members are forced out. These are most often young individuals that recently became adults. The ones that are forced out will either form their own pack if they can find a cave or separate and become loners. Loners are more likely to leave the land completely and end up in old human settlements. Sometimes packs will allow loners to join if there is room. Groups of loners looking to form a pack will challenge smaller/weaker packs occasionally, if they win, they take the cave.
Reproduction
Breeding mostly takes place in packs, but loners will breed if they get the chance. Females become fertile once every two months, and it lasts for about a week at a time. During this time, if a female isn't already caring for hatchlings and desires to do so, she will begin to search for a mate. She won't have to travel far if she is a pack member, but lone females might have to span miles. When she finds a male, the courtship process begins. They will try to impress each other with feats of strength and agility, such as smashing boulders and other tough objects, flying as fast as they can and doing tricks in the air, etc. The male shows his approval by catching something for the female to eat. If she accepts him, they mate. Loner males might stick around to form a pack, or they might return to their own territories.
Clutch sizes range from two to six dark blue eggs, which are guarded by the mother until they hatch one month later. The mother does all the parenting, even in packs. The hatchlings learn to fly at the age of five months, and are fully grown at one year.
Life Span
Average life expectancy is 23 years.
Abilities
Because druddigons have larger claws than other dragons, they are especially skilled with the Dragon Claw move, but they can master other dragon moves like Dragon Pulse. The dark move Night Slash and the fighting move Revenge are also popular among trainers who have a druddigon. Some druddigons have especially sharp scales that wound attacking foes on contact.

TIMELINE OF LIFE
By scientist Keena Aiken Redwood
Mya = million years ago
HADEAN EON(Before 3900 mya)
4600 mya: The planet is formed.
4500 mya: The moon is formed when the planet collides with a space rock, which chips off chunks of the planet that combine to form the moon.
4100 mya: The planet's surface cools. The atmosphere and oceans form.
3500 mya: The earliest life appears. These primitive life forms are made up of self reproducing RNA molecules, and when resources such as energy become limited, the RNA molecules are no longer efficient enough at multiplying. DNA becomes the main compound of the first genes.
3900 mya: The first cells appear. These are the first life forms to use the process of glycolysis. Glycolysis uses a series of chemical reactions to extract energy from molecules and store it inside the cell. This process is still used in almost every organism today.
ARCHEAN EON(3800 mya - 2700 mya)
3500 mya: A primitive form of photosynthesis appears, resulting in the birth of the grass type. The water type appears around the same time. At first, photosynthesis produces the chemicals needed for glycolysis. It does not produce oxygen until later.
3000 mya: Photosynthesis begins to produce oxygen, but life does not need it yet, so oxygen is released as waste. The oxygen dissolves iron in the oceans, rises into the atmosphere, and acts as poison to life. This results in the birth of the steel and poison types. The flying type appears around the same time, as the planet is constantly pummeled by hurricane force winds.
2700 mya: The first pokemon appears, along with the normal type, which it is still classified as today. That pokemon is ditto. It is the only species that has remained unchanged since its appearance. The first dittos could switch between all the existing types at will to help themselves survive. For example, they could become the poison type to be able to tolerate oxygen, or the flying type to be able to tolerate the hurricane winds.
PROTERZOIC EON(3500 mya - 542 mya)
1200 mya: Algae appears. It is the first multicellular life form, and the first to need oxygen. Sexual reproduction appears. The psychic and dark types appear.
850 mya: A global freeze occurs, resulting in the birth of the ice type.
630 mya: The global freeze thaws out. The fire and ground types appear.
580 mya: Enough oxygen is in the atmosphere to form the ozone layer. By now, all life forms are used to and need oxygen.
560 mya: The first fungi appear. This includes both pokemon and non-pokemon fungi. The fighting type appears.
PHANEROZOIC EON(After 542 mya)
535 mya: Life forms in the ocean begin to be divided into groups: crustaceans, vertebrates, mollusks, etc. The rock type appears.
450 mya: The bug type appears.
434 mya: Primitive plants begin growing on the land.
365 mya: The planet is beginning to look like we know it today. Bug pokemon roam the land, the ocean is overflowing with life, and the land is covered with the first plants.
340 mya: The first amphibians appear.
305 mya: The first reptiles appear.
225 mya: The first dinosaurs appear. The dragon type appears.
220 mya: The first flying bug pokemon appear.
215 mya: The first mammals appear.
155 mya: The earliest ancestors of birds appear.
130 mya: The first flowering plants appear.
70 mya: Mammals begin to diversify.
60 mya: The ghost type appears. Large, flightless birds and predatory mammals appear.
55 mya: Flying birds appear. The first rodents appear.
30 mya: Mammals diversify even further: dogs, pigs, cats, deer, sloths, etc. The first predatory birds appear. The electric type appears.
6 mya: The ancestors of humans appear.
5 mya: The first grazing herbivores appear.
2 mya: Modern humans appear.

Shinx/Luxio/Luxray
Electra felistella leo
Scientfic name translations
Electra = electric
Felistella = cat star
Leo = lion
Appearance
A feline pokemon. Black and blue colored, with a yellow four pointed star shaped tail tuft. Rounded ears. With shinxes and luxios, gender differences are very subtle. Females have less black fur on their hind feet. Both male and female luxrays have manes, but the females' manes are much smaller.
Habitat
Grasslands, and the occasional forest. They are native to the Sinnoh region, and have not been seen in the wild in the other regions.
Diet
They are carnivores, and work in groups to take down large prey such as girafarigs or ponytas and rapidashes. Lone individuals eat smaller prey like bidoofs and bibarels.
Social Behavior
Groups are called prides. Prides are led by two or three dominant male luxrays. The female luxrays in the pride do all the hunting, but the dominant males always eat first. Both genders of luxray have authority over the luxios, and the luxios outrank the shinxes.
When a male shinx becomes a luxio, he is almost always kicked out of the pride. He has a better chance of being allowed to stay if the pride is lacking in the leader department. In that case, he will accept his role once he evolves into a luxray. Female luxios are sometimes forced out if the pride has too many members.
There are occasions when a lone luxio or luxray wants to join a pride. Females can usually join without problems, but the males have to earn the right to be part of the pride. To do this, they must challenge a leader. These battles are often quite bloody, and they sometimes result in death. Most of the time, however, the weaker individual will give up and leave. This usually happens when the outsider is a luxio. If both are luxrays, the battle is even more brutal. If the outsider luxray wins, he takes the former leader's place and kills all the shinxes born to the loser's mates. Each leader has his share of female luxrays who are his mates, and if a leader is replaced, those females become the new leader's mates. On the rare occasion that an outsider luxio wins a leadership battle, he won't become leader until he evolves.
Reproduction
Female luxrays come into heat once every six months, but only if they aren't caring for shinxes at the time. About one month after mating, a clutch of 2-4 eggs is laid. The eggs are tan with brown and green four pointed stars, colored to blend into the enviroment. Male luxrays are usually quite aggressive, but that attitude changes when they become fathers. Mothers never leave their clutches, not even to eat or hunt. New fathers will always bring food to their mates, sometimes even before they eat. Pride leaders can have between two and four mates. There are also non breeding females who do most of the hunting.
Eggs hatch one month after they are laid. When this happens, the mother starts to hunt and eat for herself again, and the father stops bringing her food. The shinxes are weaned at the age of one year. They reach sexual maturity, and evolve into luxios; at the age of three years. Luxios become luxrays at the age of five years. It is rare for luxios to breed, but if they do, the parents are always loners. Breeding in prides is reserved for the luxrays. Shinxes born to luxio parents are likely to be smaller and weaker than average.
Life span
The average life span is around 23 years.
Abilities
Being electric types, they can wield a variety of electric attacks. Their fur can be charged with electricity, but they are most known for the Thunder Fang attack. This is possible because of a "spark gland" located in the skull, which converts electrical impulses coming from the brain into jolts, which travel through the hollow front teeth.
