It took me a while to catch up to your creations, but now that i've arrived at these guys i must say i think they are pretty fun from the sounds of it! The fact that they pretty much hold fashion shows and their entire culture is based around being as flashy as possible with all kinds of costumes makes them a pretty darn fun species! Speaking about flashy, your work on the colors here, especially on the skin, looks really darn good! great job on it!
It's also fun to read about the Jungle God and his "Priestess" (i forgot both of their names, sorry) , as well as the Furceros' relations with the Gralatars and the Floral Dryads. Those are the kinds of details that really make a world!
The Furceros certainly sound a lot more friendly than the Cyclopses that Vunashtara belongs to. Whilst they aren't really evil, they have no qualms about eating any monkey that they find on the street and have a very strict caste system. I've been thinking of something that could add to their culture, being some sort of special duel with the "sub-king" of an entire caste, in which the participants have to choose each other's weapons for them instead of choosing their own ones. Though i'm not too sure if that would fit yet... alternatively i though of a type of Duel to the Death with a Caste Leader, which would result in Vunashtara slowly but surely dueling the leaders of the higher castes until he would eventually reach the Cyclops King. However, Vunashtara would never directly kill the Caste Leaders once defeated: he would deem them not worthy enough to kill, until the entirety of the caste system would be abolished: only then would he kill them. The reasoning behind this is that in a Death Duel, it is extremely humiliating if the winner of the fight would not kill the loser because he deems them not worthy enough to die by their hand: only by being slain by the winner will your honor and memory be restored. As such, Vunashtara would force them to help him in his quest to do away with the caste system, which in Cyclops society is a genius find because no other Cyclops had ever thought of blackmailing his opponents like this before, as they always only wanted to shame them if they had wronged them too much. As such, Vunashtara would be raising all castes to fight for his cause, even slowly winning over their trust and admiration even though he is a Sevenhorned Cyclops, as they all experience him for WHO he is and not for what they BELIEVE him to be.

Thanks! Happy that you like them! Their love of colors and flare was a lot of fun to work with, and I do love how colorful this guy came out. I look forward to drawing them again, just so I can play around with more crazy looks and palettes. Funny enough, you didn't forget one of their names, because her name is literally just Priestess (which is why Chlora is confused about the fact that the title is always capitalized).
An interesting idea! How would one work their way up to being able to challenge one of these Caste Leaders? Is it something that you can challenge at any time, or is there something that must be done first? The blackmailing bit is quite neat, as that is a good way to use the system to gain control and power!

It sounds like you at least got a pretty good framework developed! I am sure you will come up something to fill in those details! It is coming together good so far!

What is a better use of colour changing skin than to turn yourself into a living disco ball.
Fun fact: chameleons change colour to emote.

Why blend in when you can be fabulous? Be the envy of everyone with eyes!
Indeed they do! The fact they use their colors for emoting more so than camouflage is why these guys are more about crazy colors and bright patterns than the usual stealthy role chameleon monsters get. That is also why outsiders tend to believe Furceros use their color changing skills to blend in and hide, despite the fact these guys do quite the opposite!
