General Info​

(Acks-Head)

Axeheads are thick-skinned creatures renowned for their bladed heads, capable of felling trees and shattering rocks. Their durability makes them invaluable as laborers for heavy tasks.

Legend has it that the Fire God forged Axeheads from molten rock, shaping their distinctive blade-like horns and imposing stature. Their tough hides and loyal nature make them popular mounts among Higara's inhabitants.

Anatomy

Axeheads are large creatures with leathery, smooth skin and some individuals possess bulky, plated bellies resembling those of beetles. A distinctive feature is their blade-like horn, extending from the nose to the chin, forming an axe-shaped structure. Their ears are unique, resembling half-dishes with three inner rings, granting them exceptional hearing. To shield their eyes from dust and ash, Axeheads have hard, skin-like eyelashes instead of hair. Their eyesight is generally average to poor.

Primarily herbivorous, Axeheads possess incisors and molars for grinding plant matter. Their feet and elbow joints are cushioned with soft, gelatinous padding encased in a sturdy outer layer, giving them a high-heeled appearance. An air sac located at the base of their neck, connecting to the chest, is believed to amplify their calls. Axeheads are roughly the size of a draft horse or cow.

Behaviour

Axeheads are naturally aggressive and temperamental, though selective breeding has produced individuals capable of working harmoniously with other species, including humans. Given their immense strength, close supervision is essential when children are around Axeheads, including young ones.

Despite their reputation for strength and temper, Axeheads are fiercely loyal and dedicated companions. Their versatility has led to widespread employment as bodyguards, miners, alchemists, meditation partners, and in other labor-intensive roles.

Axeheads have limited vocal abilities, primarily relying on grunts and snorts for communication. Occasional hoots or yells may be emitted when provoked or defending territory. A calm and quiet Axehead is a strong indicator of trust and respect.

Understanding Axehead body language is crucial. Subtle cues like tapping a foot or flicking an ear can signal impending aggression. If these warnings are ignored, the Axehead may escalate to louder grumbling and charging.

General Info​

(Chuu-p Chuu-p)

Chup-Chups are peculiar, bipedal creatures covered in feathers, native to the coastal and jungle regions of the Juju Islands. Known for their rapid, skittering movements, they exude a constant air of nervousness.

Their distinctive wall-eyes grant them a unique 360-degree vision, similar to a chameleon.

Historically, Chup-Chups were a prized delicacy for the Impishun and Haiwari people, as their widespread population made them a readily available food source. Beyond sustenance, certain Chup-Chups were cherished as pets and traded between villages.

Legend has it that the Goddess Hikissu crafted these creatures from leftover ash, mud, and leaves of the primordial jungles. She sought the God D'Jhakol's expertise to breathe life into her creation, finally persuading him to do so with a touch of divine energy. Their current form is the result of this collaborative effort.

Exceptionally beautiful and talented Chup-Chups, renowned for their singing abilities, commanded high prices and were often depicted on the temples of the wealthy. Less desirable specimens, unfortunately, met a different fate.

Many tribesmen incorporated Chup-Chup feathers, fur, leather, eye cusps, and bones into their adornments or musical instruments, such as the popular Midga pan-flute.

However, the declining hunting of Chup-Chups has led to a population surge, transforming them into pests as they encroach upon human settlements. Their disruptive behaviors include rummaging through garbage, destroying gardens, and seeking sustenance in gutters, driven by habitat loss.

Larger, stronger Chup-Chups have found a new purpose in the world of entertainment. These agile creatures are the stars of thrilling races, becoming a popular spectator sport and a lucrative betting opportunity, rivaling the prestigious Draquine Derby.

Anatomy

Chup-Chups possess unique physical characteristics that reflect their lifestyle and diet. Their feet resemble those of birds, with textures ranging from leathery smooth to scaly. Interestingly, pampered or pet Chup-Chups tend to have smoother and sleeker legs, perhaps due to a less demanding environment.

Dominating their facial features are large, bulging eyes similar to a chameleon's. These eyes, despite their intimidating size, boast a soft inner tissue protected by a hard outer layer reminiscent of goggles. This structure is essential for their characteristic "wall-eyed" appearance. However, rough fights or injuries can damage this eye casing. Additionally, these remarkable eyes can move independently from one another, offering a wider field of vision.

Chup-Chups are typically small in size, roughly the height of a chicken. Their mouths, while fleshy, possess beak-like qualities that enable them to break into hard materials like nuts, rocks, and shells. Notably, they lack significant teeth, although some depictions showcase back molars.

Their small, soft paws have 3-4 fingers each and lack both retractable claws and pawpads. Vocalizations are a far cry from melodious, a mixture of purrs, seagull screeching, and crow caws. Beautifully singing Chup-Chups are a rare occurrence in the wild.

These creatures are surprisingly athletic, capable of running in short bursts at speeds of 50-70 miles per hour. Their agility extends to swimming against strong currents. In the past, islanders would even chase them for sport.

Additionally, they come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, from thin and muscular to chubby. As long as their height stays within the species' average, feel free to design a Chup-Chup that suits your artistic vision!

Behaviour

Chup-Chups are social creatures, with a strong need for companionship. While wild Chup-Chups rarely interact with other species, they thrive in large groups of their own kind. These groups huddle together for warmth and act as a unit when scavenging for food. This behavior suggests a potential defense mechanism against predators.

Despite their sociable nature, Chup-Chups are messy eaters, known for swallowing their food whole in a single gulp (or at least attempting to). Interestingly, they seem to tolerate the presence of Quakou, a different island creature. Some speculate this may even be a symbiotic relationship, with both species alerting each other of danger.

Chup-Chups can be quite vocal, expressing their emotions loudly with screeches when they feel distressed, upset, injured, or simply hungry. This trait can be reminiscent of a young child's tantrums.

While easily distracted, Chup-Chups are surprisingly trainable, capable of learning new tricks with plenty of patience. Territorial battles are rare due to their skittish nature, but when they do occur, Chup-Chups use their strong back legs to jump and claw at opponents. These scuffles typically last mere seconds before one side is spooked and retreats.

The parental instincts of Chup-Chups are quite strong. They act as a family unit, taking turns caring for and protecting their eggs and young. Chup-Chup groups have even been known to work together to drive away lone predators who get too close to their offspring.

General Info​

​​(de-jinks)

Djynxes, pronounced "de-jink-says," are enigmatic spirit foxes renowned for their deceptive nature. These creatures lure victims with enchanting songs before draining their souls. While not perpetually hungry, they have a penchant for consuming corpses, often leaving them unrecognizable.

Surprisingly, Djynxes can be trained into loyal guardians and skilled detectives. Possessing the ability to comprehend and speak languages, as well as perceive the world through a unique perspective, they are extraordinary companions. However, their demanding nature and potential for harm make them unsuitable for inexperienced owners or those lacking strong willpower.

Beneath their paws lie hidden hands resembling those of primates or humans, often matching the color of their spirit flame. These shadow hands contribute to the Djynx's formidable grip, making it challenging for victims to escape their clutches.

Remarkably adaptable, Djynxes can thrive in the most confined spaces, making homes within objects like bamboo or oil lamps. Once a Djynx claims a place as its own, it becomes exceptionally difficult to remove.

Legend has it that Djynxes were initially created by the Death God as humble servants to guide lost spirits. However, these creatures soon evolved, surpassing their intended purpose and turning their predatory instincts towards the living inhabitants of Illutheria.

Anatomy

Djynx possesses distinctive catfish-like whiskers near its snout, which are highly sensitive to vibrations, heat, and pressure. Similar to domestic cats, these whiskers can rotate forward, enabling the creature to assess its surroundings, identify potential prey, and determine the feasibility of squeezing through confined spaces.

Unique to this creature are its retractable "Shadow Hands" located within the paw areas. These appendages serve multiple functions, including prey capture, object manipulation, and environmental interaction. Notably, the color of these Shadow Hands often aligns with the creature's soul color, a hue that is also evident in the eyes, ears, and internal organs. Typically primate-like in structure, the Shadow Hands can assume a clawed configuration during aggressive encounters and can even mimic the appearance of nails or paws for camouflage.

The creature's mouth is concealed and only becomes visible when it experiences intense emotions or consuming food. When exposed, it resembles a lamprey's oral cavity, equipped with a formidable array of razor-sharp teeth that combine canine and needle-like characteristics. Its body exhibits a lean and athletic build, blending elements of a fox and a greyhound.

The creature's eyes typically convey a wise and composed expression, though they can dramatically change to appear bulging or dilated during moments of stress, heightened awareness, or aggression. Ethereal "Soul Fires" occasionally surround the creature, believed by some to possess hypnotic properties capable of influencing prey. However, the visibility of these Soul Fires is under the creature's control.

Renowned for its bodily flexibility, the creature can contort its body to squeeze through narrow openings, making it a formidable and adaptable predator. Its ability to infiltrate coops through small spaces highlights its predatory prowess.

General Info​

Old Summoner Masks possessed by demons / spirits gain bodies resembling a large lizard dragon. They are made of the deepest and darkest elements and can easily morph their body into the shadows and dissolve into the environment. They use this method to hide or teleport to places. Once the body is unseen the mask will fade along with it until only the eyes remain. They have the ability to travel much faster than usual like a spirit. They are genderless creatures.

They can speak but don’t move their jaws at all and instead, can hear them whispering or just talking inside ur head. They rarely speak up and commonly just make noises with the jaw ( crackle between the jaw , rattle sound from the trinkets , any creepy noises ) or roar to their heart’s content.  It’s roar has a very loud tone to it and can actually sting for a while, similar to the reaction from a huge explosion close to your ears. Very deadly roars are only used to stun their prey and it has no effect against others of their kind.

Every single one of them obtains powers such as summoning the shadows , teleportation , invisibility , and the powerful roar . But each mask has unique powers and qualities ( this will be of your choosing )

lore

In dark days the people began to believe many kinds of traditions. One day someone made a mask decorated with colors and accessories to resemble their ancestor as respects and to ask for help in the dark hours . They performed a dance whilst wearing the mask and unfortunately summoned a spirit who demanded sacrifice and took the dancer’s life as tribute for helping the people on that day. People began carving the masks more to the spirit’s shape for blessings and luck. Ever since then their lives were much better but followed a dark ritual.

Many centuries passed and they abandoned the tradition until the old mask awoke by itself, searching for the tribe who had abandoned and forgotten the ritual. Many masks laid dormant after their carving and await to be possessed and awoken.

mask

They can have any mask design made from materials such as;-

• metal
• rock
• diamond
• jade
• plastic
• bronze

 

Behaviour

They also perform a similar practice to Capoeira, a martial art that combines elements of dance, acrobatic and music but much more brutal as it is for a fight rather than to enjoy the dance. This is cause for their very strong body structure and flexibility, enabling them the best chance for the dance. Mostly will fight fair against each other and commonly fight to show dominance over one another.

General Info​

(Hi-wah-ree)

The Haiwari people can be found throughout the islands. Their key physical characteristics include animal ears, tails, slit eyes, sharp fangs, digitigrade legs, and a fur covering.

Elder and older generations may exhibit more pronounced animalistic features such as whiskers, paws, and denser fur growth.

Legends also depict them as "were-people" capable of transforming into large creatures. This transformation harnesses aetheric energy from their environment and bloodline. The full moon and locations with high concentrations of energy are known to trigger these occurrences.

In their "were" state, instinct and strong emotions tend to take over their actions. Only experienced and trained individuals can control their mental state in their larger form. Elders, monks, and prodigies are often those who can fully harness this power with control.

It is an age-old story, however, with several dark implications of war and political propaganda. Many Haiwari in the present day have chosen to move beyond this legacy. Very few have upheld the practices and beliefs of their ancestors.

Self-aware and highly intelligent, they possess an incredible sense of smell, hearing, and physical prowess compared to a standard human. Some mistake these feats for precognition, as most Haiwari can effectively dodge incoming attacks and violent storms due to their acute senses.

Haiwari are often born with patterns on their foreheads and a hard, crystal-like organ in their chest. Many believe this organ is the mark of the gods, granting them strength, beauty, and resilience to aetheric energy.

Do not refer to a Haiwari as a beast or animal. They take great offense to such labels.

Anatomy

Haiwari possess a captivating blend of human and animal features. Their hands mimic human anatomy with four fingers and a thumb, while their digitigrade legs boast paw-like features and four toes (sometimes with an extra for a little surprise). Both hands and feet can be equipped with retractable claws, adding a touch of ferocity. Their faces further blur the line between human and animal, showcasing a unique blend of traits. The nose, in particular, takes inspiration from rabbits or felines, while retaining a distinctly human bridge.

Beyond their captivating form, these humanoids possess some truly unique traits. Fangs on their teeth grant them the ability to tear through food with ease. A crystal organ, known as the Heart that's nestled on their chest, holds a special significance, harboring a powerful energy source. During pre-adolescence, a unique marking on their forehead, known as the ajna, awakens.

Their skin comes in a vast array of colors, contrasting distinctly with fur that can be any length and styled to their preference. Some areas even showcase a captivating blend of both fur and exposed skin. Hair on their head follows suit, allowing for endless styling options. A final unique feature is their collapsible collarbone, similar to cats and Drakonian creatures. This grants them the incredible flexibility to move on all fours, adding another layer of adaptability to their repertoire.

---

Skin and Fur ratio:

Legend tells of the Haiwari ancestors who donned the fur of slain beasts, absorbing the creature's essence both spiritually and physically. This is believed to be the origin of their furred bodies.
​
Haiwari possess a unique ratio of fur to exposed skin. Here's a simple guide outlining the acceptable range:

Communication

Haiwari are multilingual. They can speak the common tongue fluently and possess an impressive ability to mimic a wide range of animal sounds, including meows, grunts, howls, roars, purrs, and chatters.
​
These animal vocalizations serve several purposes within Haiwari society:

• Silent Communication: Haiwari can use these sounds for subtle communication amongst themselves, conveying messages without actually speaking.
• Hunting: Mimicking prey sounds can be a valuable tool during hunts to lure unsuspecting animals.
• Emphasis: Some Haiwari might intentionally or accidentally mix human speech with animal sounds to add emphasis or emotional weight to their words.

Haiwari Slang:
​Interestingly, "Nya" is a common slang term used by Haiwari, often added to the end of sentences.

The Ajna & Heart

The Third Eye
A distinct marking graces the forehead of every Haiwari. It develops slowly over time, maturing around 6-8 years of age. Though its true name is lost to history, it's commonly referred to as the "Third Eye." This marking is believed to be linked to a Haiwari's aetheric flow, working in conjunction with a similar organ called the "Heart" located on their chest.

Once revealed, the Third Eye becomes a permanent and unique identifier for each Haiwari. Its color and pattern vary from individual to individual.

Ancestral Protection
Shortly after birth, an elder or parent of the tribe performs a sacred ritual. The newborn's forehead is smeared with colored clay, mud, or herbs. This temporary talisman, applied daily until the Third Eye reveals itself, is believed to offer protection from malevolent forces and encourage the marking's growth.
​
The Heart
Located in the center of the chest, the Heart is a hard, stone-like organ that regulates a Haiwari's aetheric energy. It manifests as a single, solid shape, visible within a few hours after birth. Unlike the Third Eye, the Heart can be retracted into the body. A cracked or broken Heart has severe consequences for a Haiwari's health and development.
​
Expressions of Intimacy
​As a sign of deep affection, Haiwari will press their foreheads together. If both partners are Haiwari, they might even touch their exposed Hearts, creating a profound emotional connection.

General Info

Hyumans are the most prevalent resident across the globe, highly adaptable to their regions. They come in all shapes and sizes, and while not as naturally nimble or strong as their fellow species, Hyumans thrive in their own unique way.

Approximately two thousand years ago, scholars speculate that Hyumans weren't originally part of Illutheria or bred here like other, far older resident species. Instead, they believe Hyumans were transported here, falling from the skies like shooting stars through dark portals that appear in both the sky and the earth. Not all at once, but sprinkled over the years, suggesting perhaps Illutheria was "inviting" them. This theory remains shrouded in mystery, with many locals dismissing it as a mere fairytale.

Researchers suspect that the strange ruins and technology scattered across the land might be related to these rifts. The mystery remains unsolved, but Hyumans have become a standard in everyday life and interactions. Most appliances, housing, and furniture are largely crafted to accommodate their specifications. Resourceful and driven by curiosity, Hyumans hold a wide range of desires and aspirations.

Anatomy

Hyumans are typically bipedal creatures, walking on their two feet. You can create hyumans with disabilities and equip them with prosthetic limbs to reflect a wider range of abilities.

Their skin tones are "natural," encompassing a range from white to tan to dark brown. Hair color can be natural, including blonde, white, gray, brown, black, and red. Hyumans can also style and dye their hair any color. Unnatural hair colors like pink, purple, and blue are also possible due to genetics.

Eye color can be any variety, and some hyumans even undergo cosmetic procedures to alter their eye color. Blood and internal organs are always some shade of red.

Soul color is believed to be reflected in the eyes.

Finally, humans lack tails, animal ears, horns, fish gills, and other fantastical appendages. Their ears are typically rounded.

Hyuman Creation Rules

• Follow the specified Human rules in the Anatomy section.
  • You may give them any body shape and gender identity.
• You may give them tattoos, health conditions, deformities, injuries, scars, prosthetic items
  • Injuries and scars should be pg-16 and no extreme gore.
• Animal and creature features cannot be applied to a Humans such as; cat ears, centaur bodies, bird wings, horns, mermaid tails etc. They have to look and remain human.
  • This includes the capability to transform into other creatures like a werewolf.
  • Extra pair of limbs such as third-eyes and five-legs are not allowed.

＊ Your character will be able to pick up skills, Hyuman specific traits, and other cosmetitics during their Illutheria ARPG adventure.

General Info​

Anatomy

Impishuns are distinctive individuals with unique physical attributes. Their hands and feet are clawed, resembling a bird’s but has a soft padding. They typically have 3-4 fingers on each hand, including a thumb, and their feet can have 3-5 toes. Though capable of quadrupedal movement, Impishuns prefer to stand upright, allowing for greater dexterity with their hands.

There is significant variation in Impishun appearance. Some individuals have fur and paws, while others have leathery skin and claws. These variations are categorized as "Paw Feet" (Terra subspecies) and "Bird Feet" (Raptor subspecies). While the chest is generally flat, subtle variations in muscular or fatty tissue, are possible for both genders.

Impishuns possess keen senses of smell, sight, and hearing. Their eyes often exhibit a tapetum-like quality, reflecting light in their unique "Soul Color." These vibrant colors can be found in their eyes, pads, palms, and internal organs, including blood, ears, and innards. The color may also extend to their mouth, particularly the tongue and gums.

Communication

Impishuns are capable of producing a wide range of sounds and have a talent for learning different languages. Their native tongue, Tii-Tiik, is expressed through growls, hisses, clicks, and purrs. Unfortunately, it's a dying language spoken primarily by older or tribal Impishuns.

In recent years, a cultural program has been established to revitalize Tii-Tiik. The program is open to all races, not just Impishuns, in an effort to preserve this unique language.

Cultural Beliefs

Impishuns traditionally hold a deep reverence for the Old Gods, often dedicating their worship to a single elemental deity. Hikissu, a goddess associated with compassion and the world, is a particularly popular choice. According to legend, Impishuns, both young and old, believe they were born from Hikissu's shredded rainbow scales. She is said to have sacrificed her legs to grant them the ability to leap high above the treetops.

The peak of the flower blooming season in spring and summer is considered the Impishun New Year, a time for joyous celebration with family and friends in their home villages.

Impishuns demonstrate profound respect for nature. Before cutting or moving a tree, they offer prayers of apology and gratitude. Nothing from the felled tree is wasted, a practice contributing to their reputation for exceptional craftsmanship. Similarly, when hunting, Impishuns pray and utilize every part of the animal to honor its spirit.

While these ancient beliefs were once widespread, the influence of modernism and technology has led to a diversification of religious practices among Impishuns. While some cling to traditional ways, others have embraced new spiritual paths. There is growing concern about the potential decline of these cherished traditions.

Naming Conventions

Impishun naming practices remain largely undocumented, making them a subject of intrigue. Traditionally, Impishuns have used single names, with surnames being a recent adoption influenced by humans and other species. Some Impishuns have even incorporated names inspired by flora, fauna, or the Haiwari naming system.

Mascaran or known to be The Maskcatz are the main species, from essentially cursed beings trapped in doll-like bodies. Their mask is the key component, containing their soul and memories. If broken, the Maskcat loses its memories entirely, though the mask can be reattached. However, the Maskcat will no longer remember anything from its past. They lack a proper face, replaced by a hollow void.

Maskcatz possess a special ability. If their name is called by a caring and knowledgeable owner who shows them love, they will become obedient and loyal. However, they can also be self-aware and live independently. They excel at acting as guardians and are generally gentle, though they can become defensive when necessary. Playful by nature, they make enjoyable companions. Additionally, Maskcatz can breed with any Maskcat and have offspring.

As cursed beings with a connection to the spirit world, Maskcatz can sometimes interact with spirits. They may even guide lost souls in that realm, fulfilling a unique role.

Anatomy

Shapeshifting Prowess: The Three Forms of a Maskcat
Maskcatz possess the remarkable ability to shapeshift. Each form offers unique advantages, allowing Maskcatz to adapt to various situations.

• Humanoid Form:

This is the most common form used for communication and interaction. In their humanoid form, Maskcatz can perform actions and gestures similar to humans, facilitating social connection and ease of movement.

• Cat Form:

When agility and speed are paramount, Maskcatz can shift into their feline form. This form grants them heightened senses, increased nimbleness, and lightning-fast reflexes. However, with the exception they are unable to access their magical abilities while in this form.

• Doll Form:

This form serves as a haven for rest and rejuvenation. When in doll form, Maskcatz enter a state of dormancy, allowing their magical energy to replenish. While movement is limited in this state (they can only turn their heads), it provides an excellent opportunity for Maskcatz to bond with their owners. Additionally, their doll form makes them masters of disguise, their lightweight bodies easily overlooked by other.

While Maskcatz share a humanoid form with humans, their true bodies are revealed upon removing their clothing. Unlike humans, some Maskcatz possess both male and female anatomical features. Their inner skin is typically white, with only the face displaying pigmentation (either dark or white). Interestingly, the tail remains attached in all forms and retains the same pattern as their original design.

Maskcatz exhibit a wide variety of body types, ranging from chubby and cuddly to lean and muscular. However, these variations must adhere to their designated rarity traits. Additionally, Maskcatz can have either fur or non-furred skin, with white being the most common coloration.

Inners

Behind The Mask

Beneath the mask lies a hidden truth – the Maskcat's original face. This face, frozen in time by the curse, appears as a monochrome silhouette, a faint echo of their pre-transformation selves.​
Despite the mask, Maskcatz can still eat and drink. The exact mechanism remains a mystery, but they are able to consume food and liquid through the mask, defying conventional biology.

​They can have any design markings on the mask as long not fully covered the whole mask area, it considered as a rare trait!
Common color base must be pure white.Feel free to express more on the mask design! 

Expression

Maskcatz possess a unique ability to manipulate their masks for subtle changes in expression. These alterations, while not drastic, can convey a range of emotions. They also have a common tonged from the humans too and can learn any other language whom seem fit.

Abilities

Magical Prowess:

All Maskcatz possess an inherent connection to magic, granting them the potential to develop magical properties. These properties can manifest as elemental manipulation (fire, water, etc.) or other mystical abilities beyond the natural world. However, mastering these powers is not guaranteed. Some Maskcatz struggle to harness their magic effectively, relying on honed skills acquired through training or study, such as martial arts.

Boundless Magic:

The type and rarity of a Maskcat's magic are not predetermined. A Maskcat could possess a common element like fire or an entirely unique ability like attracting pigeons. Creativity is encouraged! They can even leverage their magic to shape basic tools and equipment for combat or daily tasks.

Energy Management:

Excessive magic use can lead to depletion. Maskcatz can recover by resting or absorbing ambient energy from their surroundings, such as through food, plant life, or even electricity. This method offers limited healing, but dedicated healers within the community are far more effective in restoring magic and life energy. However, it's important to be mindful of excessive absorption, as it can be seen as selfish and potentially harmful.

The loser is to be made an example of by public humiliation: Flogging, Stone Casting, or public starvation (Punishments are not intended to kill. Only demoralize the loser. Demoralizing is seen as a way for them to rise from the ashes).

 

The Law of Kinsmen equality

 All Kinsmen are to help each other in times of need. (Excluding a status related competition. Assistance in a Status related competition is seen as weak, and is punished by Exiliation from the tribe.).

​(Pah-pi-licks)

Papillix are a type of mammal that resembles a playful cross between a pixie, a cat, and a ferret. Mischievous by nature, these creatures delight in games and frolicking about. They make their homes hidden amongst the tall grasses of fields and within the dappled shadows of forests.

Papillix possess remarkable abilities. They can gracefully glide and float through the air using their wings. More surprisingly, their flight produces a trail of shimmering dust that sparkles like scattered jewels.

This magical "pixie dust" results from the Papillix's ability to absorb charged particles from flowering plants and even other glowing objects. It's this stored magic that allows them to sustain extended flight.

Anatomy

The Papillix is a fascinating creature with a unique blend of features. Their short, sleek fur resembles that of ferrets and otters, providing a smooth, streamlined exterior. Atop their heads sit butterfly-like wings, but unlike their namesakes, these appendages don't grant them flight. Instead, they function as highly sensitive detectors, picking up vibrations in the air and surroundings to compensate for their lack of hearing.

Glowing pockets adorn their paws, snouts, and whiskers, and these luminous markings can appear in various locations across their bodies. Despite being primarily active during the day, Papillix possess exceptional night vision thanks to their double-glazed eyes. This remarkable adaptation even allows them to stare directly at the sun for extended periods, a feat that some speculate is linked to their superior night vision. Their paws lack nails completely, but they are compensated by a long, agile tongue reminiscent of bees and giraffes, likely used for foraging or manipulation. Small canines/fangs can be seen on them.

Behaviour

Papillix are playful, fun-loving creatures with a natural curiosity that often leads them into mischief. They can't resist poking their noses into any situation that piques their interest.

Highly sociable, Papillix form close-knit communities primarily consisting of friends and partners. While polygamous relationships are common, lifelong partnerships also exist.

These ferret-like creatures are playful and energetic. They engage in roughhousing with each other, both on land and in the air, and spend time grooming each other to maintain their appearance.

Despite their inquisitive nature, Papillix are not easily intimidated. However, when threatened, they will hunch their backs, bare their fangs, and hiss while gathering a cloud of their own dust to aid their escape.

The Papillix diet is primarily composed of fruits and nectar. This high-sugar intake fuels their activity levels, keeps them happy, and likely contributes to their ability to stay airborne.

Their teeth are mainly used for nibbling on fruits and playful biting with companions, not for inflicting serious injury. While there have been documented cases of Papillix consuming blood from a host, this behavior is strongly disapproved of within Papillix society and offers them little nutritional benefit.

Life cycle

Birth:

When a Papillix couple desires offspring, they embark on a unique ritual. They locate a specific flower to serve as the incubator for their child. Both parents then perform a graceful dance around the plant, sprinkling and combining their dust upon the flower until it seals shut. This initiates the incubation process, which lasts for several weeks before the flower reopens to reveal an egg-like droplet nestled within.

The markings on the egg reflect a blend of the parents' colors and patterns. During incubation, the couple often share childcare responsibilities, taking turns tending to their soon-to-be offspring. Papillix groups are generally unwelcome during this period, as some parents have been known to steal eggs.

Upon hatching, the young Papillix is blind and helpless, with wings too weak for flight. The parents continue their nurturing duties for the next few months, providing care and nourishment within their abode until the young one's wings are fully developed for flight.

Death:

A healthy Papillix can live for an average of 80 years or more. As a Papillix ages, its coat loses its sheen, and its once vibrant fur becomes dull. This decline also affects its glow, making it dimmer and slower to produce.

Death typically occurs when a Papillix reaches its natural lifespan or succumbs to a severe injury. In either case, the Papillix's pelt colors and glow fade rapidly within seconds. This is followed by a remarkable process of bodily degeneration: the body disperses into a shimmering cloud of dust, carried away by the wind like dandelion seeds. No physical remains are left for mourning.

General Info​

​​(Smok-Why-rum)

A diminutive, six-legged creature resembling a tiny dragon, the Smokwyrm possesses an extraordinary ability to grow to monstrous proportions. As a defense mechanism, it produces a thick, acrid smoke within its gut to deter potential threats.

While typically docile, the Smokwyrm's survival instincts are fierce. Its stomach acid, capable of corroding stone, is a last resort employed when escape is impossible.

Anatomy

Smoke Wyrms possess elongated, serpentine bodies equipped with six small legs. While capable of slithering, they predominantly rely on their limbs for rapid movement. The body is typically slender and devoid of a tail, with the first two pairs of legs articulating from the shoulders. Artistic interpretation allows for variation in body length based on Smoke Wyrm type, and the inclusion or exclusion of joint folds on the legs.

The six legs bear a resemblance to avian feet, granting the Smoke Wyrm the ability to manipulate objects with their talons. Talons can be depicted in two primary styles: the raptor-like configuration, featuring three forward-facing toes and a hind toe for gripping, or the parrot-like structure with four forward-facing toes, utilizing the inner two as opposable digits.

To enhance the illusion of a limbless creature, the legs can be retracted closer to the body, creating the appearance of a serpentine form gliding on its belly.

Additionally, Smoke Wyrm hands are equipped with nails and exhibit a rough palm texture, suggesting adaptations for climbing challenging terrain. A distinctive feather-like crest adorns the head, serving as a communication tool among Smoke Wyrms and other species.

Despite their seemingly toothless appearance, Smoke Wyrms possess microscopic, hook-shaped teeth resembling burrs within their mouths for prey capture. Alternative depictions may include retractable teeth or a completely toothless configuration.

Vital fluids and internal components of the Smoke Wyrm, including blood, soul essence, and acid, are imbued with color, primarily residing within the eyes, mouth, and innards.

Behaviour

Smaller Smoke Wyrms are typically cautious creatures, exhibiting a keen awareness of their surroundings and swift reflexes. They often engage in sunbathing to regulate their body temperature before embarking on hunts. Predominantly ambush predators, they rely on stealth and speed to subdue prey. Their preference for concealed environments makes them adept at finding suitable hiding spots. Interestingly, they can form a strong bond with humans and are known to enjoy the comfort of their owner's pockets.

While capable of coexisting with other Smoke Wyrms, social dynamics can be complex. Similar to chickens, a pecking order often emerges, with individuals vying for prime feeding and bathing locations.

General Info​

Anatomy

Snapadile boasts smooth, almost skin-like scales, lacking bumps or lumps. This unique feature gives them an appearance reminiscent of a combination of snake scales and leather. Their powerful jaws and teeth are built for a tough task - crushing rock and bones.

These creatures primarily walk upright. However, the Teacup breed is an exception, possessing the remarkable ability to walk on both two and four legs. Opposable thumbs on their three-fingered hands (one thumb per hand) grant them dexterity for picking up objects. Three toes grace each foot.

Snapadiles inner ears share similarities with reptiles. Complementing these are their squishy paw pads. Despite their softness, these pads are durable enough to handle most terrain. But here's the surprising part: they're also sensitive enough to feel tremors on the ground! An additional protective layer comes in the form of a third eyelid.

Large claws are a common feature, used for various tasks. However, the Prehistoric breed breaks the mold, favoring its formidable teeth over its hands for work. When it comes to soul color, it can manifest in various locations: the eyes, the paws, and even internally, within the blood, innards, and mouth.

Behaviour

Snapadiles are fairly sociable creatures, often seen huddling together in distinct groups that resemble small societies. Within these societies, each Snapadile plays a specific role, contributing to the well-being of the group. These roles can range from caring for young, elderly, or frail members to hunting and gathering necessities.

Leadership structures vary among Snapadile groups. While some have a single strong leader, others function with co-leaders. Additionally, Snapadiles exhibit a strong hoarding instinct, meticulously collecting and safeguarding items for the group's benefit. However, much like squirrels, they can sometimes misplace their hidden stashes.

Snapadiles possess a complex vocal repertoire that includes clicks, chirps, growls, and purrs. They can even comprehend simple words spoken by other species. Their sounds are highly nuanced, and like some animals, they use distinct vocalizations to communicate with each other. Body language also plays a crucial role in Snapadile communication, varying depending on the interaction. Facial expressions are equally significant, with tail twitching and snarling indicating annoyance, while smiling and clapping their hands suggest amusement.

Life cycle

Birth:

A Snapadile's life begins within an egg. The egg's outer shell often displays markings or a blend of patterns inherited from both parents. Parents, and sometimes the entire group if the Snapadiles are social, fiercely guard these eggs. Interestingly, some speculate that the environment where the egg is laid can influence the offspring's elemental abilities.

A developing fetus and a newly hatched Snapadile are incredibly fragile. At this stage, they bear little resemblance to their parents. Their appearance is ultimately influenced by the type of food they consume after hatching, as well as their inherent genetic traits.

It takes a newborn Snapadile only a few hours to find its feet. Its initial instinct is to vocalize its need for food or attempt to scavenge for sustenance independently.

Death:

A healthy Snapadile can live for an average of 60 years or even longer.

Death typically occurs when a Snapadile loses its purpose in life and simply fades away, or succumbs to an injury too severe to heal. Their colors and patterns gradually degenerate over time, transforming into a dull, clay-like gray. They then slowly dissolve back into the earth, their bodies returning to the soil. A stone often remains as a memento, formed from their bones.
