The first time I've purchased an adoptable. I was always interested in purchasing one, but never found a design that could fit in my fictional galaxy. But I just fell in love with this design and thought that it would make a nice species in the Azure Wheel Galaxy.
(Some of my personal notes for later)
* These guys will be living in the rainforests of planet Tathaine.
* About cat sized.
* Tree-dwelling.
* Completely feral and animalistic.
* The only physical change that I will be making from the above design would be removing the spikes on the back of the hands (as they would just hinder climbing).
* Claws and horns look crystalline.
* They probably won't actually breathe lightning. But perhaps there will be some old wives tales about the species that claim that they do?
* I... don't think the wings would actually be flight-worthy. They'd likely have some other use. I'll have to think about that a bit more.

Ooh nice find! Perhaps the wings could be used as communication/mating displays? Or maybe they can glide but not fly?

I don't even think they're going to be gliders. Although I have been thinking about the wings a bit more...
Some of my potential ideas for the wings include
- Attracts food by mimicking the wing movements of a particular butterfly species.
- Going along with the butterfly idea... camouflaging itself as a toxic species of butterfly to avoid getting eaten by predators.
- Only adult males have them to attract mates.
