|--Preface--|

My name is EightTimesNine, or Lolfail0009 because I can't change it on these forums... But anyhoo, I've been working an a bunch of creatures, most notably the Skythes (available now) and the Isho (still WIP).

|--Mods--|
Skythes; large avians with three wings ending in long, scythe-like claws.

Skythes were a personal WIP on hiatus from February 2013, but then Pokemon XY came out and Yveltal, the mascot for Version Y, is in essence a Skythe, so I felt I should do them both justice and finish the mod.

There are two variants of Skythes:
Cave Skythes; These appear in the lower two caverns and are about as common as a GCS. They can be tamed and trained for hunting and war.
Air Skythes; Not bound to the caves, these megabeast variants grow to about twenty times larger than their subterranean kin, and have a vicious screech that not many can endure without suffering.

Interesting, small mod to give DF a bit more character. I haven't tried playing with them in play yet, but a quick arena test yields the below errors in the errorlog. I changed their creature tile to be 'V', personally, to match Essential DF's tile settings. There doesn't seem to be a frequency set for the air skythes, which will default them to 50 -- I would set a low frequency for both, personally, or at least set one for the giant skythes. In addition, the raws don't have the .txt extension and won't load, at least in Windows DF.

Good work! Thanks! Hopefully you can get the raw errors fixed up.

Oopth. Thanks for the advice! I'll fix that right up.
