I compiled my Tome descriptions of Species and their Coats, along with some traits, (excluding eyes, I can add that later).

I found the descriptions very interesting and may possibly hold some clues about them.

If anyone wishes, could you add any descriptions that I am still lacking? It would be great to sneak a peak at them. Thanks!

Tome descriptions of Traits, Species and their Coats.

Species Gael Meeroo
Meerus Goidelus- "Gael"

The Gael subspecies of the Meeroo hail from a cool wet oceanic island environment. Rough hilly terrain and long flat brush-land are it's primary habitat with some living in and around the rocky coastal areas. They have rich, two-toned coats of muted earthen colors and light markings.

Gael Coats

Fawn
The Fawn Gael has a light tawny dorsal coloration with a paler off-white ventral coloration also notable due to this coloration are the dark distal tail ring marking behind the standard gael tail marking, and the darker rostral markings on its cheeks. It inhabits the scrubby brush-lands of its homeland.

Ursine
Of a similar coloration to the Caledonian Gael, the Ursine Gael has a slightly richer and warmer color with brownish grey dorsal coloration and a creamy off white ventral coloration. They inhabit the steep dark rocky mountains of their island home.

Red
The Red Gael has a rich red brown dorsal fur with light creamy ventral fur and markings that match well the sandy red-rock caves and cracks along the rocky coastlines which it prefers to inhabit.

Highland
The Highland Gael had a rich golden brown coat with creamy beige ventral fur and markings. The Highland lives in its namesake high hilly terrain of dense moss and thick grass swirled in fog and mist.

Caledonian
The Caledonian Gael has sooty grey dorsal fur with lighter ashen fur on the ventral and light rostral fur markings, as well as a lightly colored distal tail marking. The darker dorsal colorings are perhaps to help it blend in with the rocky granite hills it lives in.

Species Pine Meeroo
Meerus Pinaceae- "Pine

The Pine Meeroo are a wide ranging sub-species that inhabit a large terrain comprised of rough canyon-lands and arid deserts, mountainous forest areas with snowy peaks and rich grassy prairies. They have primarily muted, earthen colored coats with distinctive spotted markings on their flanks.

Pine Coats

Winecoat
The winecoats namesake coat is a dusty red-brown color that matches the dirt in its preferred dusty prairie environment. It has darker markings along its back and tail with bright off-white spots on its flanks, toes and cheek markings.

Autumn
The Autumn meeroo has a sienna, red-brown coat with chocolate brown darkening on its dorsal side and the distal portion of its tail. A creamy off white color marks its toes, and spots it's flanks. The Autumn prefers coniferous forests and spends a great deal of time climbing and living amongst branches.

Sierra
The Sierra is a desert dweller who loves rocky arid environments with sparse tree life. it has a khaki coat with beautifully rich sepia brown markings on its tail back and ears. Creamy tan coloration cover its toes and spot its flanks.

Amber
The Pine Meeroo is a largely arboreal species and the Amber is no exception. It prefers dense evergreen forests as it's home. It has a dusty umber coat coloration with darker chocolate brown fur distally on the tail and dorsally between the shoulders. A lighter cream color spots its flanks and marks its cheeks.

Cinder
The Cinder Meeroo has a rich grey coat with ashy silver markings on its flanks and toes with darker grey markings on its back and tail. It lives in rocky hilly terrain and prefers caves or large fallen trees for its home.

Species Masked Meeroo
Meerus Oriens- "Masked"

The Masked Meeroo developed on a somewhat isolated and diverse chain of volcanic islands. Their range is as diverse as the geography itself, from sandy coastal areas and verdant, floral forests to tall snowy mountainous climates. Their coats are equally diverse exhibiting bold colorful distinct markings.

Masked Coats

Emperor
The Emperor meeroo appears to be a largely arboreal species that spends a great deal of time climbing and playing amongst large trees. It has a rich mauve coat with lightened distal areas, creamy white markings around its neck and its ears and its masked eyes giving it an attractive facial appearance.

Koi
Another example of beautiful diversity in the masked family, the Koi Meeroo is a patchwork of colors, a white coat is broken up by black and tan markings distally, and on its facial mask and inner ears. The Koi Meeroo seems to prefer forested areas near rivers and lakes.

Kabuki
Perhaps the most strikingly colored of the masked meeroos. Deep black markings around its eyes, surrounded by the trademark mask and neck ring in a deep crimson color give it a unique countenance. It has black markings distally on its limbs contrasting its pure white coat. Its original environment is unknown, though it adjusts well to human presence, despite a penchant for mischief.

Species Nile Meeroo
Meerus Nilus- "Nile"

The Nile Meeroo come from an arid river delta environment with both desert and wetland environments. Some make their home exclusively in the depths of the desert while others stay closer to water sources and thick plant life around the rivers edge. Their coats exhibit bright solid tones with long stripe markings along the body and distinct coloration around the eyes.

Nile Coats

Painted
The Painted Meeroo has a slightly more conservative coloration to its nile brethren. A deep taupe color dorsally is separated by a beige stripe from its ventrally deep brown coloration. Beige markings spot its back, with dark markings around its eyes. The Painted prefers humid wetland environments, with damp soil and dense vegetation.

Jubilee
The Jubilee has a rich coat of maroon and peach coloration, light dorsally, dark ventrally with the Nile band in a peachy cream color separating the two. Dorsal peach markings on its back, and dark markings around its eyes. It seems to prefer somewhat humid, earthy environments and does well near muddy riverbanks.

Species Savanna Meeroo
Merrus Gramina- "Savanna"

The Savanna Meeroo inhabit a tremendous and sun-baked territory composed primarily of sprawling grasslands but also arid shrub-lands, rocky hilly areas, and huge, if sparse, forests of ancient trees. They have perhaps the most striking coats of the meeroo species, exhibiting bold stripes and bright highly contrasting colors.

Savanna Coats

Zulu
The Zulu like its savanna family members has a highly contrasting and distinctive coat, off white underfur is topped by dusty auburn fur on its dorsal side. Deep chocolate brown markings stripe its legs, tail and face. It prefers dusty, arid environments with low shrubs and rocky terrain.

Terracotta
The terracotta has the standard stripes, rings, and facial markings of the savanna family in a rich chocolate brown, its coat is two toned khaki and beige, darker on the dorsal side lighter on the ventral. The Terracotta prefers heavily grassy plains in very arid environments.

Trait Descriptions:

Heads

Normal
Standard
Although sharing characteristics of the rodentia family, the felidae family and the canidae family the Meeroo species is truly unique with a short round head.

Canine
Long Face
A variant of the standard meeroo facial structure, the "long faced" meeroo has a slight elongated rostral length in the muzzle of the animal, giving it an lengthened look.

Feline
Short Face
A variant of the standard meeroo facial structure, the "short faced" meeroo has a somewhat reduced rostral length in the muzzle of the animal giving it a shortened appearance.

Hairs

Fluff Only
Standard
The most common fur arrangement of the Meeroo, the standard hair is a tuft of thick fur on the dorsal portion of the head between the ears.

Fluff and Chest
Collar
A lush and thick mane of fur that runs axially around the neck of the meeroo, giving it a "collared" appearance.

Ears

Normal
Standard
The most commonly appearing ear, the standard is long and tapered, not unlike that of a vulpini, or felidae.

Short Upright Ears
Short Upright
A slightly rounded, and shortened version of the standard ear, the short upright stands upright, and alert, similar in shape to many canidae ears.

Notched Ears
Tattered or Notched
Similar in shape to the standard ear, the tattered ear however has a very thin, irregular membrane giving the ear a "tattered" appearance.

Tiger Ears
Tiger or Short Round
Another ear variant, the short round, is as described, a shortened, rounded version of the standard ear, similar to that of some ursidae.

Tails

Normal
Standard
The most common tail among the Meeroo, the meeroo's standard tail is long and thickly furred and stays mostly in line with the spine. It is similar to the tails of many felidae.

Short Tail
Short Tail
One of two variants of the "short tail" this short tail is a much abbreviated and shortened version of the standard tail, staying close to the body of the animal. A traditional "bobtail" present in many species.

Very Short Tail
Short Upright
One of two variants of the "short tail" this short tail is an abbreviated and shortened version of the standard tail with a markedly upright posture, pointing up and away from the body of the animal. A fairly traditional "bobtail" as seen in many species.

Curled Tail
Curled Tail
Similar to the standard tail in length and density, the curled tail differs in that it loops back on itself in a loose circle. It is reminiscent of many canidae tails
