Cosmic SpeciesThe cosmic species is amongst one of the most endangered species on the island. Not because of being killed, but due to small litters and their pack mentality. They are known to be quite intelligent and neutral, and will usually not pick sides unless no other option is available. While they tend to stick to their own kind and habitat, a few have left the Cosmic Mountains in search of other lands.

Their unique ability allows them to do this, as they can camouflage themselves. Their cosmic powers allows them to control energy particles and cosmic dust, and they are known as one of the strongest species on Delv Ihoo. Generally cosmic wolves are known to avoid conflict, but a difference can be seen by those that reside within the cosmic mountains and those that live outside of it. Those living outside of it tend to be a bit more adventurous or daring while those residing within are generally calm and peacefull.
Behaviour
Cosmic wolves are usually very gentle and easy going, their neutral temperament allows them to be more open minded than most other species. They are naturally intelligent and wish to learn more and expand their knowledge. While they are open minded, they prefer to stick to their natural habitat and avoid contact with the outside world. Would a visitor enter their woods, they won’t chase them out, but welcome them to visit their lands, as long as they leave the local wildlife alone. Outside their natural habitat, they will usually use their camouflage ability to their advantage and blend into their surroundings. This ability alters their colors, and can be deactivated at will or when they use elemental energy. When a cosmic wolf dies however the color of their pelt will change to that of their camouflage coloration. This also means if they shed the fur that falls of will lose it's bright coloration. In return during fights, the moment they resort to elemental energy their pelt will always show it's true colors. Overall Cosmic Wolves have close connections with each other. They tend to be calm and relaxed and seeking knowledge as they live.

They do live in a somewhat strict pack mentality, but this seems mostly to be the case within the Cosmic Mountains. Not every wolf has the right to breed, which they do to support healthy populations of other native animals that resides in these mountains. They are extremely loyal to their dragon Goddess, even if they are far from home. In contrast to those that reside within the cosmic mountains, those that live outside of it are known to be more adventurous and daring. Aside from that, those found outside of their natural habitat have bene known to be hostile too.
DietWhile they do need meat as their main source to survive, they dislike hunting in general. When a kill is made, they will often pray for the animals they killed. Within the Cosmic Mountains, they have a huge amount of respect for the unique wildlife that lives there, as they will never overhunt, and will even protect the animals from outsiders. Other than meat and fish, they will also consume pearl berries, as it boosts their energy. They also seem to enjoy salicornia, which grows within the cosmic lake.
ReproductionAfter a bonding process, the Comic Wolves will mate for life. They are sexually mature around the age of 18. Cosmic wolves can only bond once in their lifetime, as their bond is spiritual. If their mate dies, they are unlikely to ever bond or find another mate. After mating, females will have a gestation period of 60 to 85 days before giving birth. This species has small litters, usually only giving birth to 1-2 pups at a time. When more pups are born there are usually complications as many females have died in the past due to this. Pups are born blind and deaf, and gain sight and hearing after a week. Their ears remain floppy for about the same amount of time. This species has a longer gestation periods and lifespan than most other species.

Powers and Abilities
Common moves
- Cosmic dust: They can generate cosmic particles from their own pelts. This is most often used to blind a hostile opponent. If they release enough it could cause issues for opposing targets to locate the cosmic wolf as this move is often used to escape situations as well.
- Cosmic Ray: This focuses on energy particles directly from the sky, as cosmic wolves will focus and gather a large amount. When ready they will send powerful cosmic rays towards opponents.
- Moon Blast: This move is known for it's "moon like shape", as they will gather a lot of cosmic energy above themselves which in return will fire it's energy as a blast towards opponents. While during day time this move is still strong, it becomes twice as powerful during night time.
- Razor Crescents(♀): Female Cosmic wolves can generate small flying crescents made out of cosmic dust, which they will then release towards opponents. The more skill the more crescents the female can make, and these will do cutting damage as well. If skilled she can also create a large one.
- Razor stars(♂): Male cosmic wolves compared to females can generate small flying stars made out of cosmic dust. They will use this to damage or pin a wolf down. They too can generate many depending on skill or a larger star for more serious damage.
- Cosmic wave: This is a move that concentrates their elemental energy from within which they will then release from their body as a powerful wave. This is often used to push back opponents.
Abilities - Particle absorb: This ability allows them to absorb cosmic particles to boost their elemental energy.
- Camouflage: This is a unique ability as it requires no energy whatsoever to use. They can alter the color of their pelt to a more gray like color scheme which in return allows them to blend in a lot better. They generally use this when they leave the cosmic mountains. Cosmic wolves that don't reside within the cosmic mountains will generally always have their camouflage activated. If elemental energy is used, their true pelt colors will be exposed.
- Cosmic Echo: This ab When cosmic wolves can control the particles of cosmic dust they release they are capable of creating after images of themselves made out of cosmic dust. This will act as a duplicate confusing opponents as they will have to figure out who the real cosmic wolf is. Since the after images are made out of elemental energy, it will not be easy to tell apart.
- Moonlight: This ability only works when light of the moon is present at night. Injured cosmic wolves will heal a lot faster if exposed to moonlight.
- Keen calculation: Unlike other species cosmic wolves will be capable of judging their situation very precisely due to this ability. They will have a precise idea on how damaged a wolf is or how much elemental energy they have left to use. This helps them to judge if they should fight on or retreat.
Mythical abilities - Cosmic dragon: This mythical ability demonstrates perfect control over the cosmic element. In this case they will be able to generate a serpent like dragon made out of cosmic dust. This will move and act on it's own guarding and fighting a long side the cosmic wolf. The shape of the dragon can alter depending on the individual. In general the cosmic dragon will be medium sized. Blinding opponents constantly it is truly a pain to fight. But that is not what this mythical ability is known for alone. It's believed that with the cosmic dragon being present, the individual using it will not run out of elemental energy unless his dragon is destroyed. This makes for a deadly opponent as he or she could constantly use elemental energy. The cosmic dragon being present constantly absorb it's own particles back into it's system releasing a boosting aura to the wolf who is using this ability. Therefor recharing elemental energy.
HabitatTheir origins lies in the Cosmic Mountains. Due to the connection they have to their origins, they Cosmic Wolves are rarely seen anywhere else on the island. Despite this, there are cosmic wolves that have left their homeland in search of new lands where they could live using their blending advantage. Even so, outside of their natural territory, they are usually only seen in smaller groups. There are a few exceptions of small-medium sized packs. Outside of the Cosmic Mountains, they tend to prefer thick forests with access to lakes or streams.

Dragon Goddess Asteria
Their dragon Goddess is Asteria. She has made the central lake in the Cosmic Mountains her home. She has a strong and close connection to the wolves that have stayed and lived around her lake for generations, and she will frequently surface and want to hear tales and stories of travelers or stories told by outside visitors. She’s a wise dragon that seeks knowledge, a trait the cosmic wolves inherited. Despite having no water-powers, she takes the shape of an aquatic creature. She’s usually calm and gentle, but she does enjoy talking in riddles to confuse wolves that wish to speak to her.
