Dvalinn echoes its originators design with the downward slope of its spine and the additional length its tail provides. its full length is 17 feet, and thanks to the disparity between the size of its fore and back limbs, it stands roughly 4 and a half feet at the shoulder. Its claws are long and sharp for climbing, and its wrists are flexible.
Dvalinn's face is stiff and grim, more angular than a mammal's but with a hyena's bone-crushing strength in the jaw. The skin is ridged, natural contours carved by an inherited mutation. Eyes glow like a lit flame, deep set. Oil slowly drips from pores in its bare skin, trickling its way through crevices like a lazy river. While its maw's interior is mostly coated with the liquid, soft tissue further down the throat glows a distinct burning orange.
It sports a pelt of fair quality, dappled with spots and stripes. A mane trails down its back punctuated by venomous, irritating spines. They glow with a similar flame - look, but don't touch.
Dvalinn's Oilstone settles in the hollow of its jaw, hiding beneath its tongue.
