70.74.207.37: Edited much lost info back into the article.

'''Citras''' are fictional, [[fox]]-like [[animal]]s whose creation is credited to [[artist]] [[Adam Wan]].

== Backstory ==

According to Wan, citras were created by bioengineers to discover genetic traits linked to [[homosexuality]]. To that end, 90% of them are homosexual [[male]]s; the rest, both male and [[female]], were used to propagate the species and were known as "citruses." When the project lost funding, the entire population was ordered to be destroyed. Threatened with extermination, the citras successfully escaped the facility and now live in the wild. Hunting them has since been outlawed.

A citra colony is generally a very primitive and sylvan affair. They live in citrus groves, tending and surviving off of the fruit they raise. A citra's metabolism is incredibly efficient, utilizing very nearly all of the fruit they consume. The drawback is that the citra's body adapts to that fruit only, even changing color, and it must remain with the colony to survive. A citra that consumes anything else or even another citrus fruit can become extremely ill.

Citra colonies sometimes trade their fruit or other services (dancing and adult entertainment being the most popular) for other items they may need or want. From a description of one of the works by Wan: "The citras are useful in providing entertainment to nearby civilized units, and are paid in physical resources." <ref>http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/25663564/</ref>

== Physical characteristics ==

Citras and citruses are, overall, similar in appearance to the [[fennec fox]], with long, pointed [[ear]]s and a bushy [[tail]]. They vary in size, but are typically smaller than the standard-sized [[anthro]] character. As they grow up, they turn the color of the type of citrus fruit they eat. While a large variety of citras have been portrayed in art, there are five common subspecies, corresponding to the citrus fruit each eats: lime (green), lemon (yellow), grapefruit (light tan), pink grapefruit (pink), and orange (orange). Citras usually range in height from 2' to 3'6" tall. Due to their genetic purity & having been created in a laboratory environment there are few mutations and variant species known to date. Distinctive markings of all citras and citruses include a light patch around their right eye, darker fur on the lower arms, feet, and forepaws, lighter underparts, and two dark rings around the tail.

Citruses retain the tan color of their birth and can usually reach a much greater height than citras.

70.74.207.37: Many more types of citra than 5 subspecies (any type of citrus fruit). Citra channel still exists. Sub-species height comparisons are not correct, changed to be much less specific.

'''Citras''' are fictional, [[fox]]-like [[animal]]s whose creation is credited to [[artist]] [[Adam Wan]].

== Introduction to Citras ==

According to Wan, citras were created by bioengineers in Earth future to discover genetic traits linked to [[homosexuality]]. To that end, 90% of them are homosexual [[male]]s; the rest, both male and [[female]], were used to propagate the species and were known as "citruses." When the government ceased funding the project the entire population was ordered to be destroyed. Threatened with extermination & possessing an intelligence beyond what their creators realized, they escaped the facility and now live in the wild.

A citra colony is generally a very primitive & sylvan affair. They live in citrus groves, tending and surviving off the fruit they raise. A citra's metabolism is incredibly efficient, utilizing very nearly all of the fruit they consume. The drawback is that the citra's body adapts to that fruit only, even changing color, and it must remain with the colony to survive. A citra that consumes anything else or even another citrus fruit can become extremely ill.

In order of size: lime (green), lemon (yellow), grapefruit (light tan), pink grapefruit (pink), and orange (orange). Citras range in height from 2' ( a small adult lime citra) to 3'6" (a large adult orange citra). Due to their genetic purity & having been created in a laboratory environment there are no mutations or variant species known to date.

Citruses retain the tan color of their birth and can reach a much greater height than citras, sometimes as tall as 6'.

'''Earwig''' (also known as Gasmask) is an [[artist]] who was born in the USA and lives in Canada. She works almost exclusively with digital media, and her favourite subjects are [[science-fiction]] and post-apocalyptic themes. Most of her characters are often monsters or uncommon species, including sloths, venomous [[snake]]s, [[toucan]]s, and [[hybrid|crossbreed]]s. She usually takes [[commission]]s. She does not consider herself to be a furry, though her major [[persona]] among the furry fandom tends to be Earwig Ironclad, an anthropomorphic earwig with various rusted attachments throughout her body.

'''Earwig''' is an [[artist]] who was born in the U.S.A. and lives in Canada. Her favourite subjects are [[science-fiction]] and post-apocalyptic themes. Most of her characters are [[anthro]]s, often of uncommon species, including venomous [[snake]]s, [[toucan]]s, and [[baboon]]/[[crocodile]]/[[warthog]] [[hybrid|crossbreed]]s. She uses digital media, and takes [[commission]]s. She does not consider herself to be a furry.

Earwig played on [[Vagrant|The Vagrants]] while it was active and created related characters from around 2003.

Currently she can be found around [[City Of Unity]], where she assists in administration.
