The creature has a small, slender, quadrupedal body covered in short, dark charcoal-black fur. Its proportions are somewhat unusual, with a long, narrow neck rising from a compact torso and a relatively large, angular head. Its head has a smooth, rounded front that tapers toward the back into two long, pointed ear-like extensions. A single large eye dominates the visible side of the face, with a warm orange-peach iris surrounding a dark, vertically elongated pupil. Several small dark spots sit beneath and behind the eye, resembling subtle markings or freckles. The neck is thin and elongated, with uneven tufts of fur sticking outward along its sides. Its torso is narrow at the front but widens toward the rear, while the four legs are relatively long and slender. The legs taper toward rounded, paw-like feet, with the front legs hanging close beneath the body and the rear legs supporting its larger hindquarters. The most distinctive feature is its enormous, fluffy tail. It extends from the rear of the body and spreads outward into several sharp, layered tufts, giving it a broad, feather-like silhouette. Most of the tail is the same dark charcoal color as the body, but the outer and lower sections transition into a warm peach-orange color, creating a strong contrast. A few smaller dark spikes or tufts protrude from the upper edge of the tail near its base. Overall, it has a sleek, shadowy appearance with a distinctly animal-like silhouette, oversized pointed ears, one prominent orange eye, and a huge dark-and-peach plume-like tail. Experiments are very emotional and sensitive beings, and possess intelligence comparable to a human. They form complex social relationships with others and can learn human language, and especially seem to like learning swear words. When pushed beyond their mental breaking-point through stress and injury, they can develop very self-destructive coping strategies, similar to humans. They seem to become very easily afraid when faced with danger, compared to the average human. They are very apprehensive and conflict-avoidant even when treated unfairly.[2] 17 years old
