physical characteristics
as descendants of asian dragons, qai-nen oba share the similar elongated middle section and tail with relatively shorter limbs that other dragons, which helps them in climbing and hanging on trees trough coiling around their trunks and branches, also helped by their feet being more similarly shaped to their hands, like how seen in monkeys
they are covered in scales that are more soft and rubbery, although they also grow fur, generally the softer more flowy type, which accumulates on their head as a kind of long hair and beard (and eyebrows) and which flows along their back and tail, although not on the tip of their tail
ears
as opposed to other dragons, they have longer floppy ears, more similar to rabbits or goats
eyes
one of the stranger characteristics is these dragons is their two pair of eyes, one strange mutation that has also been encountered in a few other populations of dragons, but not really seen as a core characteristic of the species in any other dragon
their two pair of eyes are located on the front and more to the sides of their head, it is noted that each pair having a different set of colours they can see, in way different colour blindness, the front pair seeing in what can be described as tritanopia colourblindness, the second pair seeing in protanomaly
nostrils and tendrils / whiskers
they also weirdly have two pairs of nostrils on their rounded snouts, each group of two situated more to each side of the face
from 'the middle of the side' of the snout is the base of their 'whiskers'/tendrils, these can be moved around at will, though also more used when expressing emotions, in the tip of those tendrils are more of the symbiotic leaves
antlers
like other long dragons, their horns grow in formations mor similar to antlers, which are especially shaped to resemble tree branches, growing more uneven with different amounts of branches and not being perfectly symmetrical, helping them blending in to the environment
along the antlers are also clusters of the leaves, which add to the tree branch look
