Appoplexian

Appoplexians are felinoids with huge muscles from the planet Appoplexia.

Anatomy
Appoplexians resemble muscular bipedal tailless tigers with individual claws sprouting from each wrist. They have white, cream, or dark pink muzzles, hands, stomachs, chests and feet. They also have four-fingered hands, three-toed feet, quill-like eyebrows over each eye, and black stripes on their head, shoulders, back, and legs.

Although they traditionally have orange fur, Appoplexians can come in other colors. For example, Appoplexians from Dimension 23 and Negative Rath have white fur, Malice has dark orange fur, Dario has brown fur, and Muck has maroon fur.

Powers and abilities
Appoplexians have immense strength, being able to punch through a wall and lift a Cascan with relative ease.

Appoplexians are durable enough to withstand a powerful laser at point-blank range without a single scratch. For Omni-Kix Appoplexians, their natural durability is increased thanks to their Omni-Kix armor.

An Appoplexian has a pair of sharp claws on their wrists that can both extend and retract. These claws are fireproof, being able to repel a Pyronite's attacks. These claws are also very durable, as they do not break off when bitten by Bashmouth's Species.

By stabbing the ground, Appoplexians can create a shock wave strong enough to burst a rock into rubble or knock something over.

Appoplexians possess enhanced dexterity and quadrupedalism, as they can run on all fours like an ordinary Earth tiger.

Omni-Kix Appoplexians gain three sharp, retractable claws on each wrist, increasing the amount of damage they can cause.

Weaknesses
An Appoplexian's brain is hardwired for aggression and as such, the species' greatest weakness is their low intelligence and highly aggressive temperament. As a result of their obsession with violence and anger, they are difficult to stop once they start fighting.

An Appoplexian's temperaments can cause them to easily forget things and become easily distracted. This has been demonstrated with chasing after meat.

Because they are cat-like, Appoplexians can also be distracted by and chase after dots of light and smaller animals such as mice and rabbits like ordinary Earth cats. Similarly, Appoplexians are afraid of or hate water.

Appoplexians are mentally more cat-like than Revonnahganders, meaning that a Metahuman with the same powers as Nyancy Chan can use their cat-controlling powers on them.

Certain high-pitched sounds are fatal to Appoplexians, meaning that their hearing is sensitive.

Despite their enhanced strength, Appoplexians are physically weaker than Tetramands.

Appoplexians can be lifted by a species with as much strength as a Zaroffian.

Appoplexians can be affected by magic, as there are spells that can constrain them in midair and thrash them abound using telekinetic-enhanced streams of water.

Culture and society
Appoplexians are powerful, argumentative, and extremely aggressive. They have the urge to fight anything that breathes because they believe that any problem can be solved by hitting it "a lot". This anger even extends to inanimate objects, and can lead to harm for both themselves and others.

Because of their disjointedness, Appoplexians are prone to mixing up metaphors and beginning a conversation with the phrase, "Let me tell ya somethin'....!", followed by either a person's full name or position. For example, Rath refers to Khyber as "Mr. self-proclaimed greatest huntsman in the galaxy", Vulkanus as "baby man", and Grandpa Max as "G-Pa Max".

Appoplexians have animalistic tendencies such as growling, roaring, and relentlessly seeking food when hungry. These traits may often cause them to follow their natural instincts under certain circumstances, which will subsequently override their mindset and completely distract them from whatever they might be doing.

In relation to other species, Appoplexians have recently formed a truce with the Lewodans. They are also good friends with the Vaxasaurians due to their prowess in gladiatorial combat.
