Magic Tattoos
The magic tattoos are a representation of the Demoxens' connection to their draconic ancestors. The magic hums and expresses itself across the fur of the Demoxens, who can then manifest their power at their behest.
As they mature and grow in strength the might and number of the tattoos increase, growing with the Demoxen itself.
