Xano

The Xano (Zah-no) is the second species released on Felisfire, after the Felidae. Along with the Felidae, they were the only species available during the site's alpha testing phase. The Xano was first introduced in July 2010, being species #2 in the demo feature. Xano are somewhere between Igneii and Iuridons in size. The largest may be somewhat taller than an Iuridon, and are usually greater in overall body length, but they are much less massive, with narrow serpentine bodies.

They are one of the three wingless species and because of this cannot fly. They have a somewhat mane-like crest of long feathers on the back of their head and neck and running down the lower back to the base of the tail, as well as extending from their elbows. Two feathers with long shafts extend from just below the ears to dangle next to the hips. Xanos are long, thin and agile. The Xano Egg is one of two limited availability eggs, the other being the Aurae's. Traditionally a single Xano Egg is obtained by completing your collection. During special events such as sales or holidays they may be sold or given away as a prize, such as the yearly returning Black Friday sale. The Xano Egg is (traditionally) one of the most expensive items on the site - when wanting to create a Xano custom, players may opt for alternative ways of creating one by using another species' egg and using candies and discs to change its genotype/phenotype.

Dominance wise Xanos are the rarest breed. For the vast majority of the site's history, however, the Iuridon had been rarer due to a bug and so the site had a lot of Iuridon recessive Xanos (and Xano recessive Iuridons). Currently, any bred Xanos cannot have a recessive gene, as they are the most recessive species (unless a candy is used to add one). They have a gestation period of 11 days.
