Appearance: This Gembound stands at about thirty inches at its shoulder, weighing a very slim fifty-five pounds. It is very lightly-built, primarily quadrapedal (though it can stand upright for very short periods, ex. to get a better view). Large, bat-like wings allow for true flight. It is fast, agile, but not built for strength or weight.

This creature is covered in soft, white fur, though the fur transitions seamlessly to a furless, scaled white face with leathery scutes over the bridge of its nose, and framing its lips and glowing, golden eyes. The wings are covered in a very fine coat of the same hairs, visible only close-up; otherwise they will appear softly leathery. Small nostrils can flare slightly, or squeeze shut for diving beneath water. Its large, open ears, however--thickly-furred--cannot truly 'close.' They can maneuver and twist the way a cat's can. The upper row of small, curved, pointed teeth extend down over the lower jaw. This Gembound eats primarily meat, but could briefly subsist on roots or fruit, though it will not thrive on them. The somewhat short tail is rather fluffy, providing maneuverability in the air or balance on the ground. This Gembound, too, has toes that can operate like fingers, including an opposable thumb on both sets of legs; the forelimbs can be used much like hands. All four legs have small, hook-like, retractable claws identical to those of a housecat's.

Two small nubs of jet, eventually growing to be just longer than the ears and always remaining slender, form smooth horns extending from the back of this gembound's skull.
