Homebrew Gallade Species Details

Gallades possess an overall knightly appearance. Like their Gardevoir cousins, their skin is white, save for their arms and the upper half of their torso which is green. Their legs are very thick, and their waist is strangely egg-shaped. Their upper arms are thin, but their forearms, although rather thin themselves, are wider, ending in 3 fingers. Their elbows contain a retractable blade, causing their arm to double in length when retracted, which is used to fight off their enemies. They, like Gardevoir, possess a chest horn. They have red eyes and feather-like ears on either side of their head. Their hair is green and curves down the front of their face ending at their nose. A strange horn in the shape of a half-circle rests atop their head, teal in color, with a strip of that same color extending to the front of the hair where it curves.

There specimens of Gallade known to exist that have an altered coloration similar to their Gardevoir cousins. Their hair is a darkish blue coloration instead of green, their head-horn takes on a grey color, and their chest horn and eyes are instead orange.
